Cam’ron Goes Off On Jermell Charlo For “Trash” Canelo Alvarez Fight

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron and Ma$e have reunited as best friends, which means they have been hanging out a lot together as of late. Overall, many of their nights out together or at sporting events. Of course, this makes sense when you consider how the two have a very successful sports show together. It Is What It Is has been making major waves as of late, and we don’t foresee that coming to a close, anytime soon. Fans love the show, and Cam’s commentary has proven to be must-see television.

Over the weekend, Cam and Ma$e went to the Jermell Charlo and Canelo Alvarez fight. This match was certainly a risk for Charlo seeing as though he had to go up a few weight classes. Unfortunately, he was not good in the fight with Alvarez dominating throughout. Consequently, Canelo won the match, and now, Charlo has to reconvene and figure out what to do next. However, in Cam’ron’s eyes, Charlo’s performance was a joke and it ultimately turned he and Ma$e’s night out into a colossal waste of time.

Cam’ron Is Not Impressed

Cam’ron felt like Charlo had poor conditioning and poor form, and overall, he did not seem ready to fight. Moreover, he would like to see Charlo fight someone like Errol Spence Jr. That way, he can figure out whether or not he is washed, or can still contend for some titles. Ma$e felt the exact same way, although Cam’ron did seem to be especially offended by Charlo and his performance. It is almost as if the legendary New York artist felt like it was a personal slight.

Overall, Canelo is an amazing fighter, so it should come as absolutely no surprise that things went down this way. Either way, Cam will be thinking twice before going to the next fight involving Jermell Charlo. Let us know what you thought of the match, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music and sports worlds.

Canelo Alvarez Dominates Jermell Charlo In Lopsided Victory

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Those looking for a historic upset from Jermell Charlo were left sorely disappointed on Saturday night. Canelo Alvarez easily beat Charlo in a unanimous decision, 118-109, 118-109, 119-108. “Nobody can compete with this Canelo. Two months in the mountains without my family. I still love boxing. I love boxing so fucking much. Boxing is my life. Boxing made me the person I am today,” Canelo said after the fight. Alvarez, who had told reporters he was “still in his prime” prior to the fight, spent most of the bout trying to goad Charlo into engaging. Charlo, who was fighting up two divisions, managed to avoid most of Alvarez’s power attacks but rarely went on the offensive himself.

“I feel like it wasn’t me in there. I don’t make excuses. You win some, you lose some. I’m undisputed in my weight; I was daring to be great. I’m proud of myself. He didn’t knock me out; he knocked all the other guys out,” Charlo said after the fight. Furthermore, Charlo confirmed that he would be returning to 154 pounds for the foreseeable future. He still holds three titles at junior middleweight but was stripped of the WBO title before the fight. He will have to wait on the October 14 bout between Tim Tszyu and Brian Mendoza before he can mount another claim to be undisputed.

Alvarez Eyes Cinco De Mayo, Charlo Calls Out Crawford

As for the future, both men had different plans. “Whoever. I don’t fucking care,” Canelo said when asked who he intends to fight in his next scheduled bout over the Cinco De Mayo weekend. Potential contenders could include David Benavidez and Demetrius Andrade, both of whom have called out Alvarez over the past few years. The two men fight later this year, setting up a de facto challenger to Canelo through the winner. However, the marquee fight in the eyes of many fans would be to pit Alvarez against Terence Crawford.

Despite this, that may have to wait as Charlo called out Crawford directly after the fight. However, Charlo also stated that he was happy to wait for a winner from Tszyu-Mendoza and then challenge for the WBO belt he just lost. Charlo was meant to fight Tszyu back in January before breaking his hand in training. However, for now, both camps will return to their home bases – one in victory and the other in bitter and humbling defeat.

Canelo Alvarez Tells Haters He’s Still “In His Prime”

September 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Canelo Alvarez hit back at recent claims that he’s over the hill. “I feel fresh. I feel in my prime,” he told TMZ this week. Furthermore, Canelo revealed that he actually fought his last fight while injured. “I had a little injury on my hand [that was] slowing me down a little bit, but you will see Saturday night.” This weekend, Canelo takes on Jermell Charlo in one of the hottest fights of the year. It’s the first time in boxing’s four-belt era that two reigning undisputed champions will face off. The bout is taking place at 185 lbs (super middleweight), which is a two-division jump for the junior middleweight Charlo.

There is history on the line for both fighters. If Canelo wins, he’ll be the first boxer of the four-belt era to mount three consecutive defenses of a unified title. Meanwhile, Charlo could take Canelo’s titles and become just the fourth boxer in history in a fight two divisions up. The other fighters who have achieved such a feat are Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, and Roy Jones Jr.. The fight goes down in Vegas on Saturday night.

Canelo Has No Interest In Jake Paul

While few people are thinking about the future before this fight goes down, there is one person Canelo will never fight. After he beat Nate Diaz last month, Jake Paul attempted to call out Canelo. However, the veteran fighter has absolutely no interest in battling the internet personality. “My level is other level,” Canelo told Mirror Fighting. “But look, I think he needs to enjoy what he’s doing, and that’s it. He needs to calm down and start calling out people with other levels. I think he needs to focus on what he’s doing. He’s doing good things.”

Álvarez clarified, stating that Paul needs to continue fighting people like Diaz for the being. Paul is 7-1 in his professional boxing career. However, only one of those fights, his sole loss, has come against an experienced professional boxer. His other six fights have been against a YouTuber and four MMA fighters. Previously, Álvarez said “I truly believe that it’s a lack of respect. It’s all based on money. It’s all for money,” in 2020 when discussing the Paul Brothers with TMZ.

Charlo and Castaño fought to a draw last July. Remember the night, Charlo credits the draw to multiple reasons, ranging from lower back issues to giving away too many rounds to just simply not being his “best night.” He told Bad Left Hook’s Will Esco in May, “… I didn’t have my best night, I got a draw — I’m not worried about losing a 0 because I’ve already been down that road before, so right now it’s just stepping up into the ring to be the Jermell Charlo that I know I should be, and possess a different type of talent, be very talented, be very athletic and smart. With that alone, he can’t fuck with me.”

On what adjustments he’s made for the rematch, Charlo says in the same interview: “I feel like I’m gonna make some improvements just like he’s gonna make some improvements. I’m excited to be in there again, ready to do it again, ready to go, and I just know I want to get the fuckin’ knockout. I want to knock this motherfucker out ‘cause I’m 154 lb champion and I’ve been 154 lb champion, and I’ve been knocking motherfuckers out. Now I’m going back to that.”
