Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo is NOT Yet on Board For Julian Williams Defense

[Edward90]

When Thurman got hurt the fight was already scheduled like 8 months after either guy had fought tuneups. It really should have happened in November or December of last year.

I guess I have gotten complacent. Hell, I'm glad the fight actually happened. LOL.

Where you put ******* you really meant Protecting Boxing Cowards

Yes it can be said that way but some people don't want to accept the reality as you can see right after your post. They chose to ignore it. These boxers are asking for the "Mayweather-Pacquiao money" any time they need to fight anybody better than the usual bums they are fighting, but I believe they know it's not their real worth, they are just using it as an excuse. They are using the fact that Haymon used to overpaid them for fighting no hopers. And I don't even think he'll be able pay them that much anymore.

The sad thing is that I like Jacobs, Charlo brothers, DSG and many others from his stable, but I can't lie to myself, they are looking like cowards.

So then the only delay to blame is from Dec '15 to Mar '16? Considering all the other delays for fights, 3 months isn't enough for me to feel any type of way. I understand the frustration though...

Probably not, it was his silence during the delay that got people criticizing Keith.

Location had a lot to do with it I believe. Hell it was first scheduled in freakin Connecticut. I think they were relieved that Thurman was injured so they could get it at Barclays in the summer.

Yeaah, I can see that. I feel like there were logistical reasons for the delay, but ultimately, they both wanted the fight. Otherwise, it wouldn't have happened as soon as it did...

Just for the lols, couldn't Roc Sports make a bid on this fight like they did with Quillon-Korobov?

Williams and Charlo don't have a promoter and they share the same manager, Al Haymon.

Geez why you guys gotta run around like headless chickens every time a fight is being negotiated. The fight will obviously happen, Charlo probably stalling so that he can get a purse bid and get as much money out of the fight as possible, and also get that automatic 75 percent split.

There is literally nowhere to run, especially now that the so called cash cow has run back down to the division. Aint no Big Canelo fight if he vacates the title.

This is just normal boxing politics from the B-side/contender tryna put pressure on the A-side/champion. How ****** you gotta be to fall for this **** every time a fight is being negotiated? Porter jus freakin did the same thing just recently.

For one Charlo has had countless opportunities to take the J-Rock fight and instead he fought the Wilky Comforts of the world. Second he's the one that has been back and forward, one minute he struggles to make 154 and the next minute he has no problem making 154. The things he says and some of the moves Charlo makes leads me to believe he doesn't want to fight J-Rock. He took the Trout fight when he could've taken the J-Rock fight.

There is no where to run unless he gives up the IBF belt, then there's many of places to run to. The cash cow is back for 1 fight, his handlers have already said he's going to move up after this fight. That's where Billy Joe comes into the picture.

One way or another whether the fight is made or not J-Rock will walkaway a champion.

Let's be honest. Can you really blame Charlo when he says the Williams fight is worth millions considering Lara made almost $4 million fighting four Zaveck level opponents?

It's been cleared up. He had lasik in July and got a 60 day thing from the ibf. So I think the contracts have to be signed by sep 23
