Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo vs. Hugo Centeno in Play For WBC Interim-Belt

[A.K]

Another snoozer. What happened to fighting Lara?

I have never seen a exciting Lara fight that guy holds the record for snoozers.

Suleyman is doing this to protect Golovkin, even though I still think he'd fair well against Charlo. If the Nelo fight doesn't happen in May but rather in Sept., this would only mean that it's imparative for GOlovkin to start training and fight as he knows what it's like when you are at the top and not fighting 4 times a year, it becomes harder, especially when you are fighting elite level.

This way industry can ease off of Golovkin vs Charlo by putting someone to fight Charlo instead. It gives GGG the excuse to not fight Charlo and face any other non elite.

What if Andrade comes out to say ''If GGG can't Charlo, then I'll fight him, we're both on HBO!'' Even Jacobs is on a race for the rematch.

As we can see, the WBC is helping out Golovkin avoid Charlo

haymon magic. centeno just got stopped by a 154 pounder with a 38 percent ko ratio. lets hope he has 2 working legs unlike charlos last opponent.

didnt Centeno get a brutal KO over Aleem in his last fight? Aleem was coming off an entertaining scrap with Khytrov, which Aleem won by TKO I think. Not that this wipes away his recent stoppage defeat to Sulecki or whatever his name is, but Centeno should at least get a little credit for how he looked in his last fight. That being said, I wouldn’t bet on him to beat Charlo

Jacobs is with Eddie Hearn and fighting on HBO now. They say Haymon is still the advisor but Hearn is running point on Jacobs career now.

Haymon is still the dude. Haymon is not a promoter. Jacobs, like any fighter, would still need a promoter. Haymon helped put Jacobs back on the map and Danny knows it. He still gets advisory as Jacobs doesn't have to agree with the fights HBO or Hearn suggests

Lame. How much is the WBC getting paid for this? Hugo Centeno is the #2 non-champion middleweight in the world? Really? Why aren't they mandating Charlo vs Jacobs, or Deryvanchenko, or anyone good? Disappointing fight.

how is Alvarez technially ranked in the WBC? Oh I see, if they put him ahead of Jacobs it eases things

These sanctioning bodies are clearly in collusion with Haymon.
Lara was able to skip Andrade because of it.
Now they're avoiding Jacobs for Charlo.

I like this fight, especially as an undercard to Spence Jr. vs. Peterson! I think Charlo vs. Jacobs would've been a much better fight, however that's a headliner!Maybe Jacobs will fight Sergiy Derevyanchenko, or Ryota Murata next? It'll be interesting to see what Hearn does for Jacobs' career. LIONS ONLY! LET'S GET IT!

On the Chris Mannix podcast according to Hearn he is the point man on Jacobs.

Yawn, Charlo needs to test himself and step up opposition.
