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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

LAS VEGAS - Jermall Charlo apparently took what will officially be his super middleweight debut entirely too literally. The WBC middleweight champion weighed in Friday morning at 166.4 pounds, 3.4 pounds above the contracted catch weight of 163 pounds, for his 10-round, non-title fight against Jose Benavidez Jr. on Saturday night. Benavidez officially weighed 161.2 pounds, well below the limit for their Showtime Pay-Per-View co-feature.

Pretty shameful.

Someone explain why he's holding a title at a weight he hasn't made in nearly three years?

[Boxfan83]

I dont blame Jose or his dad if they pull out, 3lbs is a lot. At the same time, depending on the money team Charlo offers, it may be worth it because he can get the W too.

Not all that surprising.

He might at well give up the 160 lb belt now , finally. I don't think that he wants be back at that weight.

What a head case. Time to drop the middleweight title.

Benavidez should pull out.
