Sharing a quick highlight video on Jermell Charlo.
Wanted everybody's thoughts on these guys. Jermall has the IBF strap at the moment and Jermell is ranked number 1 for the WBC.
I see a few comments from people who say Jermall is the better of the two, but he has not fought the level of competition that Jermell has (even though he is the one with a paper belt).
They fight nothing like each other really.
Jermall is the more natural puncher as he sits down all his punches, he tends to operate down the middle most of the time with his jab and straight right. His jab is a weapon and always keeps it in your face and has knock dudes on their ass with just a jab. He has more of a killer instinct, if he hits a guy with a good shot he will follow up right away whereas Jermell will tend to step back and admire his work and continue moving around the ring.
Jermell overall in my opinion has the better overall skill, he has better defensive abilities in general with his head movement, bending at the waist and fighting on the backfoot and also his footwork. He likes to counter with his left hook and his jab is less of a weapon than his brothers and is used as more of a set up punch. He has slightly faster hands than his brother although neither have elite speed in my opinion. Although he has better defence he tends to go through periods of inactivity even while being chased down he is content to cover up, while Jermall will continue working the jab.
Jermall has the punching power to keep you off him, guys are more weary getting close to him and think twice before coming in. He is also more gifted physically as he has the longer reach and is the taller twin.
If you are going off level of competition it isn't close. what do you think of the skill sets
Skill set I think it's hard to say. Jermell seems more poise to me. Shutting Rosado out every round is highly impressive IMO.
I feel like Jermall would have done the same, possibly putting a finish in there somewhere. Carbon copies of one another, but Jermall has some stopping power. I think I consider Jermall the better of the two in terms of what they bring in the ring at the moment.
The one who has Rosado and Vanes under his belt.
yea but most people had vanes winning that fight. he got the pbc star treatment on that one. he's now in full witness protection mode.
Both Talented but I think Jermall is better because he has the Boxing Skills that Ronnie Shields is probably the best Trainer at teaching guys Boxing Skills. But on to of the Boxing Skills he is a KILLER! Jermall will put his foot on the gas and get you out while Jermell is very skilled he plays it safe and settles for the Decision
They were trained by Ronnie Shields until recently, he is a great trainer. I just to see what happens when Jermall reacts when has a threat coming back at him.

Jermell seems legit, think he beats anyone at 154lbs. I like his resume vs anyone else there, only problem I have a hard time watching his fights.
Jermall seems like a poser, wins a belt vs old man Bundrage and only wants safe opponents now. Otherwise more appealing style than Jermell.
I think Jermell gives anyone at 154 trouble but I rate Lara above him.
You are right I would like to see Jermall take on a live dog, him fighting this level of competition isn't doing him any favors in the long run.
LMAO yeah it's hard to remember, I just remember the one with the 'a' in his first name as the one with more power.
Yep thats how I looked at it. Jermall is the one who can crack :boxing:

I always forget which is which...least their a-hole parents could have done was not give them almost the exact same name.
