Alvarez (59-2-2) has the chance to add to his legacy when he faces the 33-year-old Charlo, who is moving up two weight classes for this fight.
Even though Charlo (35-1-1) is the one moving up, he is 4 inches taller than the 5-foot-8 Alvarez and has a 2 1/2-inch reach advantage. Alvarez said his experience will help him counter the size deficiency.
"I've been in the ring with a lot of styles, all kind of fighters," Alvarez said. "My whole career, I've been fighting with (boxers) taller than me, so I know how."
Charlo, who lives in Houston, already is talking about a rematch, which likely would come if he beats Alvarez.
If Alvarez prevails, WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has declared David Benavidez will be his mandatory challenger for the super middleweight belt.
