Thoughts: Canelo straight-up at -400 is a steal. Even if he’s slowing down a bit and struggling to maintain his pace down the stretch, he’s still bigger than Charlo, functionally indestructible, boasts the sort of pressure-heavy approach that Charlo has struggled with before, and can hypnotize judges unless he’s beaten with the sort of decisiveness that Charlo can’t manage.
If you want to push your luck a bit, Canelo by UD at +125 wouldn’t be the worst pick. Charlo should skilled and durable enough to stand up to Canelo’s onslaught without going down, especially if Canelo’s gas tank issues force him to pace himself.
Probably the best mix of safety and value is Canelo 7-12 or decision at -265. Eight of Canelo’s last nine fights have lasted past the sixth round, and while there’s no telling exactly how Charlo will look with an extra 14 pounds to manage, it’ll probably be a bit better than Avni Yildirim.
