This Is Coach Derrick James' Strategy For Charlo To Stir Canelo

JAKARTA - In the eyes of coach Derrick James, Jermell Charlo still has advantages, which if maximized can stem Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Charlo challenged Canelo to fight in the fight for a true super middleweight world boxing title (75 kg) at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas on Saturday night, September 30 or Sunday morning, October 1 in Indonesia.

Jemell's biggest advantage is his posture. He has to maximize that advantage. Don't fight to obey Canelo's rhythm, but box with your own rhythm," James said, as quoted by ESPN.

In terms of posture, Charlo is indeed superior compared to Canelo. The challenger's body from Texas, USA has a posture of 183 cm. Charlo is about 7 cm superior to Canelo who is 176 cm tall.

Charlo's hitting range is also longer. Charlo has a hand range of 185 cm, ahead of Canelo's 179 cm. If Charlo is able to take advantage of that advantage, then he has the opportunity to stem Canelo's attack.

The win in boxing has actually been formed since the training process in the gym, with an accurate strategy. Victory in the ring is not like magic, everything has to be prepared and brought from scratch," said James again.

The biggest question that then arose was: was Charlo able to withstand the power of Canelo's punches that hit the body or head? Canelo has proven that his beating power was able to knock down boxers in the welterweight, junior, middle, super middle, and even light weight.

All will be answered in the T-Mobile Arena ring, this weekend.
