Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo Comes In 3-Plus Pounds Overweight For Non-Title Fight With Jose Benavidez Jr.

[boxing IQ]

Wow, looking at some of these posts. No excuses for missing weight but, like, boxing fans don't do compassion or empathy do they?

Was angry at first, but after seeing his face, can't help but feel bad for the guy. Don't know what he's going through, but at least he's trying..

'I actually want to know how you would eloquently use the English language to portray how Charlo's disgraceful actions still deserves any kind of empathy or support, became I genuinely can't think of one.

The nicest way I can term it will be "Jermall is no longer in a state where he can continue as a professional boxer, and the organizations should kindly strip him of his title and instead offer him some mental health support"'

Agree, IDK why my critique of an idiot spouting cliches somehow alters that! I'm genuinely sorry for Jermall but he seems to be in a very bad place. His huge weight advantage shouldn't be relevant because I don't think Jermall should be allowed to fight anyone. Boxing is a highly dangerous activity & if someone has mental health problems they shouldn't be getting in the ring. I, personally, wouldn't let the fight go ahead because I'm not convinced that Jermall is sufficiently mentally stable to allow that.

And Canelo will reward mall with his next fight while trying to convince fans he’s deserving and a great fighter … Lmfao !

You are correct. Canelo will take a page straight from the Mayweather blue print. Fighting an MMA fighter to actually count on professional record and fighting Berto that convinced Floyd’s worshippers that Berto earned and deserved a Floyd fight.

I didn’t know this fight was taking place under 168. Jermall is nuts for that. I’m surprised he was ONLY overweight by 3.4lbs above 163lbs. He probably knew it was a stretch to make that weight.

What a disgrace. WBC, you paying attention? This is the guy you've been letting hold up the 160 lb division for 3 years.

Jose is in a really terrible spot here. I hope if he does take money that he lands a lucky punch early on and puts that Charlo clean out and retires him for good.

These Charlos are a stain on the sport these days.

But they’re lions only remember?

“Cliches”

grow up and stop pretending to be above everyone. Mall is a joke, and so are you.

Benavidez said it best. He got shot and will never be the same fighter but makes no excuses. That traumatic experience would cause mental health issues but Benavidez is not weak minded like Charlo. Benavidez was a young prodigy and was supposed to be what David has become. There are YouTube videos of a 17-year old Jose Jr. sparring the great Manny Pacquiao and doing well.

The CW was for 163.0, very unprofessional. Take 50% of his cash and give it to Jose Jr.

That's tragic, and I'm glad Benavidez didn't let it stop him in his journey, but at the end of the day, we don't know the man's struggle. Nobody knows what Charlo's had to go through. If you don't like him that's one thing, but I'm not about to kick a guy down whose trying to get his life back together.
