Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed champion at 154 pounds, has an enormous hurdle if he expects to defeat Jermell Charlo, who is considering stepping up two weight classes to challenge him for the undisputed super middleweight belt. To beat Canelo on the scorecards in Las Vegas, though, would be an even greater obstacle. Based on past examples, it seems highly unlikely that the judges will award you the bout if you can argue that you won more rounds than Canelo.

Many believe that Jermell Charlo needs a knockout victory over Canelo in order to leave Las Vegas with a share of the super middleweight title.

Charlo will need to avoid the fight going to the scorecards at all costs since Las Vegas has a history of awarding rounds to Canelo even when he doesn’t appear to earn them.

The first significant boxing event in which Canelo was the main attraction resulted in a unanimous decision victory for Canelo against Austin Trout in 2013. Even though it didn’t take place in Las Vegas, the expectation was set that at least one judge would give Canelo a lopsided victory.

Most commentators agreed that Canelo won by a two-round or three-round margin against Trout. A 118-109 scoreline, however, caused widespread consternation. However, the score was worrying, even though the right man had won. That trend continued into Canelo and Mayweather’s fight in Sin City.
