Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Reflects on His Maturation: 'I Used to Run Around The Boxing World Wanting to Punch on Anybody'

[ShoulderRoll]

I like this more chill, more mature version of Jermell Charlo better too.

He should talk to younger black youth and share his wisdom with them.

Mature or not, Canelo is going to punch you in your eye and in ur neck and make u cry and suck ur thumb

I use to like Jermell back then, but he's even more likable now. Pretty hard to hate on this dude in my opinion. He's faced everyone he's had to face and wants all the real threats.

Exactly, I really think he has a good chance of winning this fight, and I will be looking forward to the forum going silent until they can scrounge up a good excuse of why.

Doubt it, Charlo has a good chin, better footwork, faster hands, and is a athletic dog. Cinnabon is going to get blood put in his mouth, and Jermell 's stamina will be the key. He's not going to just sit there and let Canelo wind up and land his power shots, and he definitely has some THUMP in what he's throwing in return.

Charlo has a good chin at 154. Canelo has a great chin at 168, there's a difference. Charlo will hit Canelo and it will feel like a spit ball to Canelo. Meanwhile Charlo will have heavy legs by the 2nd half of the fight from carrying the extra weight and from trying to move and fight Canelo off him. And he'll slow down just enough to get thumped in his eye and in his neck when his hands come down. And keep in mind that u also predicted Errol would knock Bud out. So ur vision is a lil blurry. U sure u ain't been hit in ur eye, too?

Errol is STILL one of my favorite fighters, and there's no shame in losing at that level, when there are two great champions risking it all. Unlike Spence, instead of draining himself, Jermell is coming up two divisions, but he doesn't have to weigh 168. He can come in at whatever weight is best for his stamina and power, without losing his quickness.

If Jermell wins, he's immediately great, if not, he tried something most fighters wouldn't, and got paid for his trouble.

Errol is a great fighter, but it's probably hard for Bud to make weight too at age 35. In fact, all fighters have to.sacrifice to make weight. I don't believe it was any harder for Errol than it is for Bud. I think this fight was blocked for years because PBC always knew Bud would beat Errol. And Charlo can win if Canelo comes in flat and sluggish and thats possible, since Canelo has had a long career. He could be slowing down and it looks that way. But if he comes in sharp, Charlo will get touched up
