Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Blasts Jeison Rosario in Eight To Unify WBA, IBF, WBC Titles

[whollisboxing]

I’ve already discussed this earlier in the thread. The jab landing in that soft spot in the lower midsection easily could’ve caused a muscle cramp or a spasm which would’ve been painful enough to stop any man in their tracks. You ever get a muscle cramp? That sh#t sucks. I can only imagine how it would feel in a championship boxing match in the middle rds.

You’re saying he quit? I guess that is possible, but I find that unlikely. Rosario, although down on the cards, was still in the fight and wasn’t terribly hurt before the body shot. He wasn’t getting outboxed to the point where he would think it’s pointless to continue. I can’t see him quitting like that in a championship bout.

Ultimately, we can’t put ourselves in his body so we don’t know what kind of pain he was in or what he was feeling in that moment.

But I really do think he was legitimately knocked down from the shot and couldn’t get up.

Another thing is he could have chosen to sit on the stool for observation but he insisted on standing up while the doctor checked him out. That makes me think that an abdominal cramp is possible (you wouldn’t wanna be sitting hunched over) Also I don’t think that Rosario going to the hospital afterwards was part of some well-orchestrated conspiracy

Pro boxers are obligated to go to the hospital after every stoppage.

Generally speaking though, ALL fighters must go to the hospital after a fight. But fighters who lost by stoppage need to go immediately after a fight. That’s protocol for any sanctioned fight. Dive or not, if you get “stopped”, you need to go. A dive stoppage doesn’t allow a fighter to go against protocol and not go to the hospital.

Wait a minute! Are you sure you guys are boxing fans? It seem like everyone is upset because Jermell Charlo won. Jermell fought a Hell of a fight in there last night.

Rosario displayed true grit and determination but he was just overpowered by the better fighter that's all. Jeison "Banana" Rosario is a great fighter and he will be back.

However, on this night, it was Jermell Charlo's time to shine.

The rest of y'all know y'allselves.

We all knew Charlo had the goods, SD is a tough rugged gatekeeper, right below that top tier. I felt like GGG did the worst against him you could even even argue SD beat him, but with Jacobs squeaking out a close but clear win, and Charlo a clear win. He'll be a solid battle test for any fighter looking to step up to that top tier competition.

From my experience sparring for years and watching boxing I have never seen someone get hurt to the body and go down flat on their back and act like they were possessed by a demon. My sole experience getting hurt to the body once, it bend my body over.

You get hurt to the body your initial physical reaction will be to bend your body down to try to alleviate the pain and you will more likely end up either face first on your knees or on your side. Both positions bending your body forward due to the pain.

I’m far from a conspiracy theorist but that looked terrible. And if it was a dive, I understand boxers aren’t actors, but that was a nonsensical dive. Dives do usually look ******, none of these guys are Sylvester Stallone or Michael B. Jordan but most dives look ridiculous, ****** and make no sense.

Wait...if the dive is good, then no one calls it a dive right?

I once saw a man grab his chest and scream in pain as an alien burst out of him. We all saw this. Movie was Alien.

I don’t know what this has anything to do with watch happened to Rosario but it made me laugh. That movie was great for its time

That twitch, the loss of air and the facial expressions he made at the same time isn’t something natural that you can control. When sht goes south that’s more of a natural reaction that occurs. Believe me, I’ve seen it too often in the hospital. Like I said before, no knock on Charlo it was a good win he deserves props but more than likely Rosario has been cutting massive weigh and been bullying smaller fighters and it finally caught up to him

Idk man like I said earlier, you can’t just go with your first reaction. You have to observe all the parts and pieces of the situation and then come to your final conclusion.

I got the PPV, I've felt like I've been robbed with some in the past but overall I thought it was a pretty good card with solid action. Didn't feel that way afterwards. I kinda like the model of stacking a card with a bunch of co-main event type fights and would be willing to pay for that again if there are compelling fighters throughout the card.

Some thoughts:
- I've never been a big fan of either Charlo but I came out of the SD fight liking Jermall more. I got the vibe he was really elated to have defeated an opponent that both he and the media felt was truly dangerous. He was incredibly respectful to Deveryanchenko and seemed to revel in the fact he was involved in a war like that. He put on a helluva performance. I'd like to see him in against Andrade, I think he beats a shopworn GGG at this point.
- Jermell has really become a patient counterpunch assassin. Rosario was always coming forward and launching some bad intentioned punches while Charlo was constantly laying traps to land a select few punches. A very good strategy against someone with questionable punch resistance but could be an issue if fights a durable boxer with decent output.
- I thought Jermall definitely got hit with a body shot that hurt him but he weathered the storm. Some of Rosario's punches really seemed to move Jermell but I am impressed with both twin's laser focus and determination.
-Rosario KO was something different but body shots always provide some of the oddest looking stoppages. I still remember Leonard Dorin crawling around the ring on all four like a baby when he got hit by Gatti to the body.

Then what about Porter/Crawford and Russell/Haney?

Crawford is ducking Porter to fight the likes of Kell Brook instead.

Gary Russell is hard to figure out. He had Leo Santa Cruz in his same weight class for years, and they are both with PBC. Yet that fight never got made.

Have to take my hat off to both Charlo brothers, especially Jermall who proved more skilled than I thought he would. He's a bit static and doesn't flow well but he managed to maintain the appropriate distance and keep Sergey where he wanted him throughout most of the fight. I predicted a Sergey win and am really surprised at how well Charlo maintained distance. To me, Sergey looked a little less than he did against GGG, not quite as quick. At 34, the skin just doesn't hold up like it does in your 20's and I think his face won't tolerate fights well going forward. For Jermall, I don't really know where he goes. His embarrassing interview with Mannix made it pretty clear he has no intention of working with DAZN and I imagine after last night he sees himself as a $10M man, money DAZN definitely won't offer him. He's a pretty massive dude, I think he should look to 168 as the PBC/ESPN has a real hold on that division. I just don't see who he fights at 160, yeah I think a GGG fight would be awesome but the chances of that with DAZN are slim to none. Charlo looks very susceptible to getting hit with 1-2's so I actually think GGG would be a favorite but at 38-39?? Who knows.
Jermell is the slightly more skilled Deontay Wilder of SWW. Explosive and powerful and pretty wild with a jaw good enough to withstand the division. Nobody is beating him there. It was a legit KO. Rosario snuck up and took a win from JROCK, but Charlo saw him coming and fought like he was ready for him. Also, JROCK had his night but I this point his place in the division is pretty obvious.
