On Tuesday, it was officially announced that Jermall Charlo (26-0, 20 KOs) would face Hugo Centeno (26-1, 14 KOs) for the vacant WBC interim-middleweight title. The contest will take lace on March 3 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn - with Deontay Wilder defending his WBC heavyweight title against Luis Ortiz in the main event.

Charlo ruined J Rocks WHOLE CAREER LOL!! Julian struggled with freaking Ishe Smith!! Anyway I can't wait to see the young lion handle his business!!

Pretty simple. Hugo's getting KTFO. Jermell is actually the better Charlo though.

Not if they go the way his first fight did at 160. That was an ugly fight and was the least bit impressive.

charlos skills are so limited his management matched him against an actual cripple in his debut at 160

Although Centeno has a decent record, and both have Williams on their records, The idealist and boxing romantic in me is disappointed that such a deep division in terms of talent isn't being put to good use.
If this is on PPV, how many people give Centeno a hope?
He's a little taller, and obviously has built a record fighting guys with good records, but can he upset Charlo?
Seems Charlo is hedging his bets when it comes to setting himself up for a fight against the GGG v Canelo winner. Which is small guarantee compared to taking on Saunders, who continues to hold that last belt to ransom.
If Golovkin beats Canelo who is he going to go after before he hits close to 40? I see him going full steam ahead at Saunders, throwing big offers to entice him to put his WBO strap on the line 3 years after Golovkin voiced his desire to capture all the belts genuinely, not just as a newcomer blowing rhetoric about cleaning, However, if Canelo wins, I see him putting money before legacy, which means letting all that hard work GGG did in keeping the belts unified disintegrate.
Canelo will fight a tune-up or easy money fight after Golovkin, and that won't be until the very end of 2018, if that.
So many great match-ups to be made I hold GBP responsible for dragging this out until May. That's 9 months to organise a re-match where four belts are tied up, and Saunders doesn't appear to be the kind of fighter to take on all comers, rather he's content to talk smack and fight twice a year.
This is bad for the division which needs to match up the best guys for the No 1 spot, such as Derevyachenko, Charlo, Jacobs, Andrade, even Lemieux and Lee can generate interest, not to mention Murata, who seems to hold the WBA 'regular' title.
Big money could be made matching these guys up as opponents for Saunders or GGG/Canelo.

First of all why would the fight between Charlo and Centeno be a ppv fight? Or even an undercard on any ppv fight?
Second of all, you can blame Golden Boy promotions all you want but I don't think they really give a Flying **** if you or anyone else blames them.
Why is anyone waiting around on Canelo or Triple g?? You said it yourself theres Alot of great fighters in the division so why aren't they fighting each other instead of waiting on Canelo or Triple g? It's not their fault that all those other guys are putting their career on hold. Neither Canelo or Triple g are asking them too.
And don't give me that shet about Canelo and Triple g having the belts on hold. **** those piece of shet belts! Them other guys don't have to fight for a belt every ****ing time they get in the ring to fight!
Canelo doesn't have to fight for any belt and he'll still draw huge crowds and make a ton of money. So you shouldn't blame either Canelo or Triple g for those other guys inactivity. Their free to do whatever the **** they want and fight whoever they want. So they need to start fighting each other!

Hoping to hear his name at 160, but it's been a slow start. I think part of the problem is that the two big names just fought and will be fighting again this year. Takes some of the hype off Charlo. I think he needs to keep busy. Will be hard since no one relevant is likely to be interested, save for maybe Jacobs.

It's disgusting this fight is for an interim title.

Young Lions! Let's Go! Where the **** is "Boo Boo?" What is he doing? Sergiy Derevyanchenko is looking for you!
