Jermall Charlo offensively he can increase his punch output.Defensively he needs to work on head movement.Footwork he needs to use his legs more step back avoid punches.The trout fight performance wise offense B Defense C.Jermall height reach advantage great jab power in both hands he'd give canelo serious problems
Neither of them were impressive against what I believe to be their toughest opponents to date.
For the first time in his life, Jermell fought someone who did more than take punches to the face while coming forward, and lost every round up to the knockout.
Jermall's so used to fighting outclassed opponents that he didn't know how to deal with Trout in the spots where Trout stepped up the pace. What particular bothered me in this fight was Charlo's body language. His movement was very slow, as if he was relaxed to the point of appearing groggy. Like he expected to go in there, land the jab with that big right hand, and go home early.
You never know how good a young fighter is until they fight someone willing to offer some resistance. Both opponents offered resistance that night and made the Charlo twins look basic.
None of them impress me, they are decent at best. They don't even have a signature punc, and I still can't distinguish them by name, the one that fought Trout is popular for his jab but his jab overrated as fuck, at least listening to the callers on ThaBoxingVoice.
I think both are world class, and def top 5 at 154..
Not sure how long they will be there... They are kinda at the point of theirs career where Devon Alexander was pre-bradley.. We will know more about how good or great they are when they fight Andrade, canelo, Lara...
