Comments Thread For: Jermall Charlo: Daniel Jacobs Confronting Me Was Just an Act

[Gillie]

The thing I saw here was Charlo was the one doing the talking in public, Jacobs wasn’t the one doing the talking, Jacobs right was putting Charlo in his place. But that doesn’t mean Charlo wouldn’t win doe, it would be a close fight like you said. But I wouldn’t want to piss off either one of the Charlo brothers before I get in the ring with them lol. Seems that gives them extra motivation.

I am suddenly super pumped up about this fight, assuming it gets made. I hadn't heard anything that Charlo was saying about Jacobs this weekend, until today.

You gotta admit that it looked like a balloon losing helium, when DJ stepped up to Jermall. Then Mell comes around after DJ was out, and he professed a different story to his brother. I didn’t like that at all. Lions Only! He was looking like a cub when DJ walked up on him

The first footage I saw, that's the impression I got but I saw a different angle on fighthype and he held his own. He just struggles to clearly express his views.

It did look like a setup by the fighters now that I think about it. Charlo randomly standing in this spot. Jacobs pull up "randomly" a couple minutes into it. Jacobs pulling up real quick seemed suspect.

Yea I call bs on that interaction. Just f#cking fight guys...lets save acting for outside of boxing or post-boxing.

I respectfully disagree. I think it was for real. Especially considering the way DJ approached Jermall, and Jermall’s reaction. Then his lil twin shows up and he has a different story. I ain’t buying it

No rewatch the video. Charlo was paranoid looking around the entire time before Jacobs came. He knew dude was coming. Then right before Jacobs came he called his name. I say WWE set up.

On the Fighthype footage, he said here he comes because he knows he hadn't exited the building yet and that he would eventually pass by. I don't think it was staged. He stopped there to do the usually boxing media interviews. We see these type of interviews in the backstage hall after the big fights all the time. Boxers who attended the fight being interviewed in the hallway. There are other videos from last night of Holyfield, Malinaggi, and Porter being interviewed in the hallway too.

I haven't seen the video of Jermell popping up.

Red - How certain are you off that? If canelo wins we know he will behave like Mayweather Jr did and disregard belts. If GGG wins, he will be on to his dream of unifying the four belts. So I don't see how it's a sure thing that Charlo will get the shot before Jacobs.

The winner will probably face BSJ next. But for 2019. Also, going by history, we know Canelo will disregard the belts, and we know that Canelo will fight whoever is deemed the biggest threat to him or the biggest name. Charlo is that fighter, if only because Jacobs already fought G. If G beats Canelo and BSJ then he can retire, move up to 168, or stay at 160 and fight Charlo in 2019. If Canelo wins, he will fight Charlo sometime next year. They said he wouldn't fight Trout. They said he would NEVER fight Lara. They said he would never fight G. Personally, I hate Canelo, the arrogant diva. Still, I do give him props for fighting the best. Maybe not every single fight, but overall his quality of opponents is possibly the best today. Also, I do not see Canelo vacating to avoid Charlo.

What bigger fight is there for him? Jacobs, Andrade aren't any bigger. At 168, you have guys like Benavidez, Ramirez, Plant, Uzcateguia who are probably more dangerous than anyone at 160 and less known than Charlo and Jacobs.

Yea, he pops up and then Mall starts stating a different story ASAP. It was a sense of self bravado when his twin emerged

You see Charlo as a bigger name than Jacobs?

Idk the timing of it has me suspect. Its like Charlo KNEW he was gonna turn that corner, he's even glancing at that corner a lot it seems like after watching it again. Seems fake to me. I still say bs, but fair play to you if you're buying it.

I think they knew what they were doing there & they were both in on it. Charlo's are smarter then people think & I know Jacobs trying to get that money/prove himself more so building up this fight makes sense for both of them.

Now that Thurman & Porter thing. That seemed real as f#ck. I thought Porter might hit Thurman for a second there lol. Or if that one was fake Porter needs to go talk to Quentin Taratino or something.

These cats was looking for each other to practice there lil acting thing. Charlo gonna put this on his resume when he auditions for another reality show lol.

This Charlo clown has the backing of powerful Haymon and Showtime.
He can actually call Jacobs' bulff by telling Haymon to offer the fight to Jacobs.
This guy is almost 30, yet he's still acting like a child.
He always lets Haymon pick the fights for him.
How about controlling your own destiny for a change doe?
And start headlining fights, instead of just undercard to everybody?
