Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Explains That It's Tough To Transform Body Into Super Middleweight

[Silence]

Jermell will get Jacobs treatment.

Canelo couldn't finish dizzy Jacobs after landed his left hook, he gonna finish Charlo this time.

[Nightfall]

Regardless of the weight Charlo is the better fighter and will win this fight

[PBR Streetgang]

Seems like this conflicts other statements like when he stated he's "just a naturally big guy". Regardless, I have to imagine that whatever happens after this fight, it will be difficult to get back down to 154 without some i.paxt on his performance.

I'm not certain, but I thought he recently said he walks around at 200.

I seriously doubt that.

[IronDanHamza]

All he has to do is come in at 160.1, literally, to make weight. Don't balloon too high and lose your speed.

All he has to do is come in under 168, he can weigh in at 154 if he wants.

But that’s the problem isn’t it, he’s two weight classes smaller.

[IronDanHamza]

Actually, he can't. Fight wouldn't be sanctioned.

Yeah it would.

Pacquaio weighed in at 146 for Margarito, under the Welterweight limit let alone the Jr Middleweight limit.

There’s endless examples of that throughout boxing history.

This isn't something you want to put out there on the internet.

I think Caneloroid stops him around 8-9

[MONGOOSE66]

That's information that Jermell Charlo should keep to himself, not putting it out on social media.

Keep to himself? Sh1-T, EVERYONE SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THIS.
Its not an excuse as much as it is a FACT

What I'm saying is that he shouldn't be acknowledging those facts to the media, I mean is he already preparing excuses
If anything he should be acting like it's not difficult for him to move up to 168, because it's his walking around weight when he's not scheduled to fight.

[Rockenator]

Actually, he can't. Fight wouldn't be sanctioned.

I think the rule is around seven pounds. In other words - a fighter in the Super Middleweight Division can weigh in, at the lowest, 160 lbs to 168 lbs at weigh in. I'm not sure if there is an established rehydration requirement or that is something that is not required but often negotiated as a condition of a fight.
