The one-of-a-kind Jermell Charlo–Canelo Álvarez bout had fans glued ever since it was announced. Charlo had climbed two weight divisions to face Canelo Alvarez, who initially was to lock horns with the older twin, Jermall Charlo. Results favoured Canelo who dominated Charlo in the brawl like it was a piece of cake and won by a unanimous decision. However, some still have their doubts.

Mike Tyson’s former coach and boxing commentator, Teddy Atlas had accused the Mexican beast of seeking ‘help’ from his ‘friends’ who guaranteed his win. Joe Habeeb has reacted in defence of Canelo, calling Atlas an ‘attention w**re’ and discrediting his claims. What do the fans have to say?
Fans draw some interesting conclusions
Atlas upset the Mexican fans by predicting Canelo would bribe the judges to direct the match and emerge victorious in his fight against Charlo. This did not sit well with Habeeb who responded on X calling out the ex-trainer for trying to hoard attention through nonsensical claims. The fans have mixed reactions to this.
One fan called Atlas a joke who starts comparing every average UFC fight to the great Hagler-Hearn 3-round boxing bout.
Definitely not arguing against Atlas. He’s got a point

Another fan came to Atlas’ defence, bringing to focus his earlier predictions which mostly hold true while simultaneously calling him a ‘loud mouth’.
I love @TeddyAtlasReal sure he is a loud mouth. At least he has personality, these commentators just parrot each other’s opinions. At least Teddy would tell you his thoughts. How many times you heard “this is going to be a great card today”, when it sucked, Teddy wouldn’t do that

One fan was upset with the clearly biased commentary in Canelo’s favor.
Atlas said what the wholeeee boxing world pretty much said. “You not gonna win a decision in Vegas against Canelo”… Like did ppl not hear the bias commentary that was even against Lubin lol

“I rather believe that Canelo bribed Charlo rather the judges” Another commented on Charlo’s subpar performance in the fight and mockingly asked if Canelo had bribed Charlo.
I rather believe that Canelo bribed Charlo rather the judges

While agreeing with Habeeb on Atlas being a showboat, a fan also raised a few suspicions on the amicable relationship Canelo enjoyed with the judges in his past fights.
You’re part right and wrong . If you listen to his podcast the co host ken has to say teddy at least a 100 times in a hour or I think he gets mad. But you look at the ggg and Bivol and a few other fights were the judges are so so nice to canelo just a little weird

Making their own observations, fans have drawn some of their own conclusions. While some align with Atlas, some side more with Habeeb. Which side are you leaning towards?
