Twitter reacts to another dominant Canelo win

In yet another dominant performance, Canelo Alvarez retained the super-middleweight titles when he defeated Jermell Charlo via unanimous decision after 12 rounds. While professional fighters praised the Mexican’s performance on Twitter, they also criticized his opponent for lacking urgency while soundly the fight.

I’m sure both fighters seen how the last fight played out. With that being said, I don’t see this one making the final bell 😂.@ShowtimeBoxing @premierboxing #CaneloCharlo

Charlo needs to outbox Canelo, if he stands and tries to trade he’s gonna get beat up. Needs to box from the outside and use his jab

Boxing with 4 ounce gloves would make it boxing more interesting and with more knockouts. #CaneloCharlo

Ok y’all I’m over @TwinCharlo he’s no longer on my hit list. He went out there and laid down and let Canelo spank him like he was his daddy with no type of resistance.😂
