Ten rounds while pondering better uses of the $85 spent on Canelo-Charlo last weekend …
10. Where does Jermell Charlo turn now? After a lopsided decision defeat to Canelo Alvarez last week, Charlo made noise about returning to 154-pounds to face Terence Crawford, the undisputed 147-pound champion. But Charlo’s sluggish performance against Alvarez diminishes the marketability of a Crawford fight. At least for now. If Charlo stays at junior middleweight—no sure thing there, either—his best option could be to take on the winner of the fight between Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza, which will be for the title Charlo was stripped of before the Canelo fight. If Tszyu wins, Charlo should challenge him in Australia, where Tszyu is wildly popular.
