I've been calling for this fight for a while, but this would be an epic war. Both guys have iron chins and they will stand right in front of each other. Their power jabs are like power punches and they are coming to put a hurting on their opponent.
FOTY written all over it.
Golovkin stops him late.
Bold! I like it but can't see this happening. GGG hasn't come close to stopping any top MW he's been in the ring with and Charlo's chin is top level. Dude just EATS shots without flinching. Same with GGG of course. Both have great chins and would make the fight only more exciting.
At this point, I’m going with Charlo.
I don’t like it. I didn’t like it when SRL and Duran hung on for years getting beaten by inferior fighters like Terry Norris or Pat Lawlor either.
I say Charlo wins by decision. If this was a matchup with a Golovkin from a few years ago, it would be a different story. Golovkin is on the downside of his career. He is past his prime and he’s only getting older. The fights with Jacobs, Canelo, and Dereveyenchenko have taken a lot out of him.
would love to see it, i think it would be real close but ggg getting on so i'd pick charlo to get the win i think, havn't seen the chenko fight so would have to see how charlo actually looks in it, seems like he did well tho
It would be an exciting fight for sure and I hope we get to see it. I would pick Golovkin to win despite his age. Higher ring IQ, better jab (important, since Charlo is very busy with his) and Charlo is still a bit too easy to hit IMO. Derevyanchenko was landing the straight right from his one-two all night long, he almost couldn't miss with it but he just didn't have enough pop to make it fight-changing.
Also, Charlo doesn't really push the pace and fight with urgency, he's quite patient with his output which would suit the 38 year old Golovkin.
Derv landed tons of body shots tonight
If it was GGG behind those punches Charlo would now be a vegetable
GGG has the power to KO Charlo but Charlo does not have the power to KO GGG
GGG by stoppage
GGG would (if he is smart) establish his jab vs Jermall and probably control the fight from there. If he has to reach to touch Jermall then Jermall could land something big and hurt him. If GGG pushes a strong pace, I think he will hold up better in the later rounds and Charlo could be in a bit of trouble in those later rounds. I think GGG has a great judge of distance with his jab, he touched Canelo with it all night long both fights, and against Jacobs too.
I don't see Charlo's jab on the same level. I think GGG establishes the jab and boxes behind that but even if he does he can't get complacent because Charlo is too explosive and dangerous and could potentially catch an aging GGG and hurt him.
Was hoping to see a bit more power from Jermall tonight but he showed a lot tonight anyway and he is a factor vs anyone at 160.
Hope we get some more good fights with all these guys at 160 and 168. I will grant them 1 easy, 1 hard but that should be the formula. If GGG wants 1 hard 2 easy that's fine at his age.
I got Charlo. GGG is washed up now. His best days are now behind him. I thought Charlo could have gotten Derevyanchenko outta there tonight if really wanted to.
However, he appeared to be holding back because he was advised by his trainer Ronnie Shields to stick to the game plan by sticking and moving behind the one two while avoiding the exchanges with Sergiy.
Therefore, he fought a very tactical, disciplined and cautious fight. The fight that I want to see is Canelo vs Jermell Charlo. I believe Mell has the right style to beat Alvarez with that ambush style of his.

Did you watch the fight? I agree about gggs jab. But Charlos is far from inferior.
Inferior relative to GGG's. I have always liked Charlo and his jab but I gotta be honest, I did not see what others were seeing tonight apparently.
Respectfully disagree on Charlo/SD scorecard. I don't know if it was the stream you were watching, but his jab was certainly very effective. Charlo's jab and check hooks and uppercuts on the inside won him the fight. He hurt SD multiple times and landed the sharper shots. I was being generous and at best I saw 7-5 Charlo. The 118-110 scorecard was too wide but consensus was around 8-4 Charlo which was about right.
As for Charlo vs GGG? That's definitely a fight where there will be a lot of close rounds. But I just see PBC getting Charlo either Plant or Benavidez in 2021 or early 2022. They don't have much at 160. Depending on DAZN's future, maybe the Andrade fight could happen.
I hate that GGG has held his career hostage for Canelo, but at the same time, money talks, so I get it. But yeah it's a shame we don't have 1 promoter in boxing sometimes - then we could get some type of MW or SMW tourney now with some great matchups. Would love to see GGG-Andrade. Even if GGG is shot, odds are Andrade can't hurt him too bad anyway even with a win.
I saw Sergei's face. So I assume something was working. And Charlo definitely landed some big shots. But yeah I was expecting a lot more honestly based on what I was reading. I honestly think Culcay did better vs Sergei than all 3 of the big boys.
The stream I just watched was zoomed in kind of close so maybe I'll give it another look sometime if I find a different stream.

I felt like this fight was very similar to Korobov-Charlo, except I felt Charlo won vs Matey 7-5 (or 6-6), and I had this the opposite for Sergei. Had it 4-4 through 8 and I felt the last 4 were all clear - 9 for Charlo and 10-12 for Sergei. If I missed something in those last 3 for example would be all ears to hear it.
I think PBC would be open to it because a GGG win could be a big scalp for Charlo. But I think most important for PBC right now is managing their investment and a fight vs GGG on DAZN, I mean is Charlo going to win on the cards regardless? Doubt it.
Side note - I just watched Charlo - Derevy and I have no idea what people are talking about as far as Charlo dominating. That was a great close fight. Sergei did more work to me, but Charlo landed the bigger shots generally. Did not see a great jab from Charlo and honestly didn't see him score that much.
He would still be a problem for GGG though because GGG is old and slowing, and was never too hard to find/time to begin with. Good matchup relatively speaking for Charlo but odds are GGG takes him to waters he's never seen before. Anyone saying Charlo dominated that fight with Sergei, I mean have no idea what they were scoring.

Definitely. GGG's is all-time. What jab was there of Charlo's tonight? Like seriously I have no idea what shots y'all were even scoring for him lol.
