During a virtual media roundtable, Ronnie Shields shares his perspective on the upcoming fight between Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo. As Charlo is set to move up two weight classes to challenge Canelo at 168 lbs, Shields — who used to be the lead trainer for Charlo — says he believes Jermell will rise to the occasion.
“This is a big opportunity for Jermell and one that I know he’s not gonna take lightly, He’s gonna do everything in his power to come out victorious,” Shields said. “That’s what he does. He wants to be the best, all the time.”
Shields would continue on by mentioning that Canelo’s shown some vulnerabilities in his last couple of outings, but he thinks Canelo will be primed to quiet those who think he’s falling off.
