Fourteen pounds made a world of difference for Jermell Charlo as he tried in vain to upset super middleweight champ Canelo Alvarez.
Alvarez muscled Charlo around the ring, outstriking him at almost every turn before a unanimous decision victory by scores of 119-108, 118-109 and 118-109.
Check out what fighters had to say about the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo on Saturday in Las Vegas.
@TwinCharlo you went out sad. Didn’t even try to win, all you did was try to survive. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Charlo hasn’t made a committed effort to try to win this fight all night. He showed up for a check and is fighting like a guy more focused on not getting hurt than he is to win #canelocharlo

Give credit to Canelo I thought he’d win but in a competitive fight, not a one-sided one as it turned out to be. #CaneloCharlo
