Let it be me<\/h2>\n

By James Blears<\/p>\n

Undisputed Champions Saul Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo historically stand together, on the edge of time, as their unique fight is poised to tip the balance to unparalleled greatness, at the T Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, on the last day of September.<\/p>\n

In the formation of this seismic generational classic, residual mutual respect exits between them, but uncompromising statements of intent from two strong willed personalities have been blunt, forthright, and forthcoming. In abundance both possess channeled drive, get up and go coupled with burning ambition\u2026.and, it has to be said, a streak of mule like cussed single minded stubbornness.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s propelled and catapulted each of them to these rarefied heights. \u00a0Jermell, who took up the challenge in the stead of older twin brother Jermall, while he\u2019s been sorting himself out, is audaciously jumping up two divisions, casting aside and discarding a spell of inactivity due to a double fracture of his left hand.<\/p>\n

Jermell is raring to fight Canelo for the super-middleweight crown. This will undoubtedly make him a very rich man, but pride rather than jackpot lucre is the core and the cure. He boldly states : \u201cCanelo will soon witness the power, strategy and ring control that I command. This won\u2019t be a cake walk for either of us. I\u2019m ready to bring the fiery Texan spirit. Boxing is my passion. I\u2019ll ensure the fans get a stellar show.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Canelo is utterly determined to make a ten gallon style point at the end of his fist. The Mexican responds to the Texan by tersely drawling: \u201cYou\u2019ll see I\u2019m the King of Boxing after the Charlo fight!\u201d<\/p>\n

By his standards Canelo hasn\u2019t looked stellar recently. After winning the undisputed title in 2021, he moved up and chanced this arm at light-heavyweight, unsuccessfully this time, by losing to Dmitry Bivol, a UD win in the trilogy against Gennady Golovkin and then successful keyhole surgery to his left wrist before returning to his roots on home turf, to defeat England\u2019s John Ryder. Canelo dropped the Londoner in the fifth but wasn\u2019t able to apply the finishing touches, so it went on and on, extending to the full distance. Yet it would be a really serious mistake to underestimate Santos Saul Alvarez Barragan.<\/p>\n

Years ago, several journalists doubted the wisdom of Jose Sulaiman\u2019s foresight, when he predicted young Canelo would go far. They pouted and pointed out that this fair, freckled, skinny kid, looked as fragile as Bambi. Don Jose smilingly replied that he was basing his sure fire, unheeded, unheralded, clear headed prediction on the redhead, based upon sixty years plus of boxing experience. How right he turned out to be!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even I myself saw the early indications of this potential to be realized, in 2009 when Canelo KO\u2019d superbly conditioned Brazilian Jeferson Luis Goncalo in nine pulsating rounds, for the NABF welterweight title at Parque Xcaret in Cancun. Jefferson, who resembled Woody Strode, was physically impressive. A bastian rampart. So Canelo went to the body to break up, break down and demolish the foundations of Jeferson\u2019s constitutional resistance. That accomplished, he switched upstairs to polish him off.<\/p>\n

Back then the money was reasonable, but not yet sufficient to keep the wolf from the door. For this extravaganza, realizing the fruits of their labors and the culmination of their careers, Canelo and Jermell will earn every red cent and copper penny of their gigantic take home purses. Yet herein lies the temptation to carry on for too long in boxing. Never again in a lifetime, will either be able to garner the king\u2019s ransoms, available in the here and now.<\/p>\n

Timing and its exquisite judgment is as crucial as it is cruel, and there\u2019s a heavy degenerative price to be paid for the heedless, who linger too long and refuse to budge or bade farewell to this this seductively pungent but singularly unforgiving profession. Timing in boxing and in life is everything. It gathers pace, waits for no man and passes swiftly, ruthlessly plus stealthily.<\/p>\n

Although Jermell is the taller, standing at six feet with a seventy three inches reach compared to Canelo\u2019s compact five feet eight inches height with a seventy and a half inches reach, Jermell is considered the smaller man. Canelo is more stocky and has grown into the super-middleweight frame. Jermell is gaining the poundage. But for most of his career in the words of Papillion to his jailer Warden Barrot in solitary, on Isle St Laurent: \u201cI was born skinny.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Canelo turned pro in 2005 and Jermell two years later. So both are vastly experienced. Canelo\u2019s record is 59-2-2, 39 KO. Jermell\u2019s is 35-1-1, 19 KO\u2019s. Both and each are thirty three years old.<\/p>\n

No matter how he prepares and in spite of the best laid plans plus strategy and sparring, Jermell will have never been hit so constantly, conclusively and consistently hard in his entire life, as when he encounters Canelo. Under fire will test him and just how he\u2019ll respond. Steady and certainly not windy! \u00a0Canelo\u2019s aim will be to deliver a dose of salts, by drilling and undermining the slats and liver of Jermell\u2019s long lean body, in an impactful way. For this to come to pass, he needs to neutralize the Texan\u2019s home on the range mobility and get inside that eagle wingspan reach.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Being the lighter fighter won\u2019t necessarily be a disadvantage for Jermell. For their 1957 war, Carmen Basilio who was welterweight champion fought Sugar Ray Robinson for the middleweight title. With a superlative and supreme career best performance, he won a split decision. Before the fight a commentator had conscendingly put it to him that all but one boxing reporters polled, had predicted he would lose. Carmen who was a natural left hander, although he fought from a conventional stance, succinctly replied they were all wrong apart from the single one, who was right!<\/p>\n

Six months later, Sugar Ray turned the tables with his own spite decision victory. On that occasion an uppercut ruptured blood vessels and from round six, Carmen was fighting with a tightly shut left eye. Eye watering even for an onion farmer! The fact he still made it desperately close, defines his sheer greatness.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s likely that that the quality of this fight between Canelo and Jermell will elicit a defining rematch. So many great ring rivalries do. Sticking my neck out while exposing my chin, I dare say it will!<\/p>\n

As they say in the fight trade, everything is now set for this great fight. But that\u2019s patently inaccurate and palpably untrue. There\u2019s very little in this whole wide world as close as the bond uniting twins. The Charlo lads are each half of one, rather than two separate siblings, but\u2026 they\u2019re currently estranged and so we\u2019re still missing the final crucial piece of the jigsaw puzzle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Throughout their careers one Charlo brother has been ringside while the other has fought, cheering his twin on. Inspiring while the other is perspiring.<\/p>\n

Boys, wherever you are right now, please listen to the song: \u201cLet it be me,\u201d sung by the Everly brothers Phil and Don. God knows they had their problems, but together they found a way to resolve them and get back together. The salt water tears will flow and hopefully mingle to close, knit and heal the wounds. Salved, saved and resolved.<\/p>\n

The heartfelt lyrics are timeless: \u201cSo never leave me lonely, say that you love me only and that you\u2019ll always\u2026let it be me.\u201d<\/p>\n
