Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Still Angered By The WBO: "Don't Touch My Belt!"

That was the plan until a 8 figure payday popped up because his brother wasn't ready.

Fight Tim for 1.5 million or canelo for 10 million?

And if he beats canelo. That's another 15 to 20 million for him in a rematch. Canelo>tszyu

If he is REMATCHING Canelo, why is he worried about the Oranization taking the belt away? According to him he will be busy fighting twice at 168 since he Believe he will beat Canelo. After that long without a fight at 154, it's correct move by the organizations. I don't know how long Tim has been waiting already.

Hes mad because he doesnt get to be undisputed in 2 divisions at the same time with a win on September 30th. Nothing else to it.

I'm not mad at the wbo, like you said Tim been waiting. But they could have waited til October 1st instead of as soon as the bell ring on September 30th

What's 1 day? If it's that serious. Strip him now

Didn't know that. If he just goes through camp at his walk around weight he'll lose a bit of weight but maybe step on the scales just over 160 - that would allow him to get back to 154 more easily but maybe be fighting at a disadvantage against Canelo who'll likely be 175 in the ring

They're looking to have him at like 163 maybe. Honestly, if he tried to put on mass, it would impact his gas tank in a big way. The only real benefit to it short term would be a little more punch resistance. He'll still be stronger just not having to cut as much, and he needs to be able to keep his speed. A lot of boxers make the mistake of putting on mass to jump up short term, but it messes with their kinetic chain and their endurance, and even with more muscle, they end up not being able to hit as hard or fast. It takes at least a year to really settle into a weight, and as you said, it's VERY hard to peel off once you've gone up properly.

The reason is before the bell, is that up until that point he won't have officially done another fight instead of the ordered mandatory fight. If they wait to strip him, they'll have permitted a rules violation, and unlike the WBC and WBA, WBO is actually invested in enforcing their rules, which IMO is a good thing for boxing.

Dems da rules, kid. You can either keep and defend your WBO belt @ 154, or fight Canelo for his belts @ 168. You don't get to have it both ways. Be glad the IBF, WBA & WBC haven't pulled your card too.

Seem wierd, specially not removing the WBO from Haney since he will be moving up as well. I agree with you. They also didn't remove Canelo''s WBO when he moved up to fight Bivol.
