Jermall Charlo’s piston jab is perhaps the most dangerous and important punch in his repertoire, having been the beginning of the end for opponents at least three times during his stellar career.
The Aviator Sports and Events Center in Brooklyn, NY - In a fight filled with some close rounds, and give and take action, former WBC International light heavyweight world champion Sullivan Barrera (22-2, 14 KOs) won a ten round unanimous decision over "Irish" Seanie Monaghan (29-2, 17 KOs).
Left-handed Brooklyn, New York, light heavyweight Denis Douglin (22-6, 14 KOs) of Las Vegas scored third-, fifth- and final-round knockdowns during a dominant sixth-round knockout and his second straight victory over Saul Roman (43-13, 35 KOs) of Mexico at the Aviator Sports Complex in Brooklyn, New York.
IBF, IBO and WBA junior middleweight champion Jarrett Hurd can see the materialization of a 154-pound clash with IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence sometime down the road depending on how soon the undefeated southpaw follows through on his ultimate plans to rise in weight.
Jarrett Hurd confirmed Friday morning that he’ll defend his IBF, IBO and WBA 154-pound crowns against England’s Jason Welborn on the December 1 undercard of Deontay Wilder’s heavyweight title defense against Tyson Fury at The Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Newly-crowned WBA “regular” middleweight champion Rob Brant has begun assessing his counterparts after having beaten 160-pound rival Ryota Murata by unanimous decision, particularly Jermall Charlo, Demetrius Andrade, Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
WBC interim middleweight champion Jermall Charlo is the boogeyman of his division to hear it from his trainer, Ronnie Shields. “Canelo Alvarez is afraid of Jermall, Triple-G [Gennady Golovkin] is afraid of Jermall, and Danny Jacobs is doing all of this talking, but Danny Jacobs is afraid of him, too,” said Shields, who trains the 28-year-old “Hit Man” out of the Houston-based Plex Gym along with left-handed former champion Erislandy Lara.
Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara still believes that he deserved to win a 154-pound unification bout against Jarrett Hurd in April at Barclays Center in New York, despite being floored in the final round by “Swift” Hurd, whose split-decision victory added Lara’s WBA “super” world championship to the IBF version Hurd already owned.
Argentina’s Brian Carlos Castano and Cuban southpaw Erislandy Lara will be coming from opposite spectrums should they clash for Castano’s WBA “regular” junior middleweight world title in a January bout confirmed to be in the works by their respective mangers, Sebastian Contursi and Luis DeCubas Jr.
Rob Brant called IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence’s punching power “barely human,” and, “overkill,” as well as “on a different level” in comparison to 160-pound rival Ryota Murata’s. During their sparring days at R&R Boxing Gym in Dallas, Texas, Brant once “had the back of my hand bruised from blocking a shot from Errol Spence in 16 ounce gloves.”
