American coach Abel Sanchez commented on the victory of the absolute champion in the second middleweight Saul Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) above the absolute in the first middle division Jermell Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KOs).

“I think Alvarez did what he had to do. I'll be honest, I was more impressed with Charlo because of what he tried to do but couldn't because he was fighting a bigger and stronger opponent.

When they first announced this fight, I really thought Charlo would go down in the 8th or 9th round. I don’t want to say I was amazed, but I was surprised that Jermell was trying to hold on as hard as he could considering who was standing in front of him,” Sanchez told Fight Hub TV.
