Jermell Charlo On Future: Erislandy Lara, You're Next
Suffering the first knockdown of his career off a right hand in round three, 24-year old Jermell Charlo (24-0, 11 KO), 153 ¾, of Houston, Texas, rose easily and boxed his way to a lopsided unanimous decision over twelve rounds against 32-year old New Yorker Charlie Ohta (24-2-1, 16 KO), 153, fighting out of Hachioji, Japan. Charlo had some issues with low blows in the fight, losing a point in round nine, but his work upstairs was more than enough. Ohta left the evening with a swollen left eye. Charlo left with his hand raised by scores of 115-111 and 118-109 twice over.
