Sergio Mora rejects the idea that Jermall Charlo could get his career back on track with his return against Thomas Lamanna tonight in Las Vegas. Mora mentions that the former World Champion of two Charlo (33-0, 22 COs section) has been inactive for too many years and at 35 old.
Sergio says Jermall will not be able to regain his championship form from 2021 and earlier. He mentions that one of the young ‘hungry’ fighters will beat him. Mora doesn’t say who the fighter would be, which Charlo would beat at 168, but he thinks someone will do it.
Charlo: Apex Predator Returns
I disagree. Jermall has the talent to beat all the fighters at Super Middeeight, including the Top Man, Canelo Alvarez. If Terence Crawford can somehow get his hands on the four belts, Jermall will be like a shark on him. It was not evacuated as Crawford.
‘Charlo is 35 years old. Can he get his career back on track? ‘ Say commentator Chris Mannix to Dazn boxinG, talk about Jermall Charlo.
“Can he? Yes. Will he? No, “Sergio Mora said that Charlo did not return to the championship form in his best years and that he held world titles at 154 and 160. “I hate to say that he’s in the mid-thirties. He is 35 years old. Inactivity saw the greatness of the greatness of the careers.
Mora’s dismissive attitude towards Jermall is alarming. He draws himself in with fighters from the past who have been sitting outside the ring for years and try to come back, but he does not admit that he is different. ‘Big’ Charlo has always been a brutal, the more powerful and robust of the Charlo brothers.
Elite power
Jermall is known for his strength and killer instinct. It will still be there, regardless of its four years of inactivity. Muscle memory is there. So, Jermall will be just as powerful as he was when he was active. Speed was never what made him wonderful. It was his power and ruthlessness.
“It doesn’t matter if he is unbeaten, a world champion of two divisions. All the praise you just mentioned. Inactivity requires confidence. I don’t think he’s coming back to the championship level, ‘Mora said of Jermall. “He will be beaten by one of these emerging dog guys. He cannot have three fights in five years. ‘
Jermall is not going to be knocked out by any of the ’emerging hungry’ fighters, because there are only a few of them with the talent that poses a threat. Caleb plant will not be a problem if Charlo is 90% of what it was in 2021 and earlier. The battle will show how big Jermall is, and he will be in demand after the victory.
168-lb section wide open
If Charlo destroys ‘Sweethands’ plant in five rounds, such as against Julian ‘J -Rock’ Williams, you can expect Turki Alalshikh to add him to the short list of fighters he wants the winner of the Canelo Alvarez to face Terence Crawford Fight to face.
“I mean, it’s an unbeaten, hungry champion who was marketable,” Mora continued on Jermall. “He and his brother (former undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo) had that meaness, that ‘Lion’s only’, barking up to the ring. They were scary. Life, not boxing, life has Jermall Charlo. ‘
The 168 pound division is wide open to a fighter like Jermall to capture one or all the world titles and rule for a while. His most important competition is David Banavidez and David Morrell, but both have moved up to 168. With them away, that’s all that remains of this barren, lifeless division:
Jermall Charlo: undisputed diamond
- Canelo Alvarez: On a serious decline and avoiding the murderers and have been eluding for years.
- Diego Pacheco: A long, bird -like in appearance fighter with power, but easy to hit, and it seemed like the average at lower -level opposition.
- Christian Milli: An excellent combination -puncher with power, but leaking defense. He would have the faded 35-year-old Canelo major problems; Therefore, he is also one of the avoided people.
- Edgar Berlanga: A hybrid light heavyweight/Cruiserweight-sized fighter, which can somehow drain to 168. Just with Berlanga’s size, he is a threat to everyone in the Super Middleweight division. However, he does not always fight with confidence. He should have beaten Canelo if he pressed him as in the 12th round of their battle in September.
- Caleb plant: An outdated boxer with no wins over high-level opposition. She smokes and mirrors with planting. He is a classic definition of a manufactured fighter. There is nothing really about him. As American novelist Gertrude Stein said many years ago, ‘There is none there, ‘ a phrase that describes Caleb plant.
- Jermall Charlo: He is the diamond talent in the 168 pound division. However, he will not be able to realize his potential unless he stays active and fights three times a year. After wiping out Jermall Plant, it will also be on Canelo’s avoided list.
- Osleys Iglesias: The largest puncher at 168, but is invisible because of his career now. This talented Southpaw, Cuban Iglesias, will be avoided like the pest by the top fighters.
- Jaime Munguia: Another of the manufactured, artificial fighters. He and plant are much the same.
