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

I get that Mall's going through it, but he had so much time to get in shape against a cherry in Benavidez Jr. I hope he pulls it together soon, because his future's lookin bleak otherwise.

Imagine being David, warming up for your fight and you see your brother take a dive...

Jermall knows from experience that there's pressure when co-headlining a PPV with your sibling. I think Jermall is deliberately doing this to mess with the brothers. This could potentially mess with David's focus going into his fight with Andrade. Jose is not gonna want to pull out, and he's gonna want to go out there and perform his absolute best, so as to give David a mental boost going into the main event. Jermall is completely in IDGAF mode right now.

Wtf he came in heavier the 2nd time... he went off and had a burger lol

He doesn't want to be in there his wife's forcing him so they can get a new TV for xmas

I'm not him but Nery certainly was a disgrace to boxing especially given the circumstances.

He showed up to a title match as a challenger and won but popped positive on banned substance and was ordered an immediate rematch, then showed up to the rematch that was supposed to be at 118 weighing FIVE lbs over at 123, which is not one but two divisions above.

There is a reason he got banned for life from boxing in Japan.

Not for nothing but Nery weighed in at 121, THREE lbs over the 118 limit.

Oh yeah, upon verification he weighed 123 in first weigh in, and tried to sweat off and came back at 121, still well over the limit. Either way, a disgraceful POS.

What is it, like 2 1/2 years outta the ring? Then he returns like THIS?
Doubting he'll have much of a career left if he can't be any more dedicated than this.
Just my 37 cents worth, that's all.

Compassion and empathy for what? Failure?

Failure often is deserving of empathy and compassion, heroic failure that is. That doesn't apply to Charlo here though, he's endangering his opponent with this behaviour.

drug addiction did it to himself. you seem like a weirdo snowflake. go kill yourself like charlo should. weaklings

Calm down, edgelord. Going for the most crass comment possible doesn't mean you win. Dullard.

It’s a phucked up thing to do. Doesn’t matter if it’s Canelo, Floyd, D Benevides, Charlo or Nery. The worst thing is your opponent who had the professionalism to make weight is forced to fight at a disadvantage or cancel the fight and not get paid for all that work.

Charlo with a ***** ass move- I hate both Charlos, they dont belong in the fight game
