well, ironically this 150 pound catchweight fight is for the WBC 154 pound belt. Which was vacated by pacquiao (also a 150 pound catchweight) haha.
So assuming he wins, he'll have to defend this belt so you'd think he'll be a true 154 pounder after.
It's actually a shame the WBC decided to make this for a title, because it was a decent fight for Canelo. This is the type of fights that's expected as he grows. But not for a title fight, so the crooks at the WBC kinda tainted this fight. It also hurts history, because the youngest 154 pound champ was Fernando Vargas and Canelo would beat that without beating a top 10 guy. Again it's not Canelo's fault, just the gay ass WBC trying to capitalize off his popularity and his nationality.
