Tonight: Jermall Charlo, The Apex Predator, ready to hunt for a 168-pound division
Published

Sergio Mora rejects the idea that Jermall Charlo will be able to restore her career on the right track with Thomas Lamanna in Las Vegas. Mora states that the former world champion in two Charlo divisions (33-0, 22 KO) has been inactive for too many years and is antique at the age of 35.
Sergio says that Jermall will not be able to regain the form of the championship from 2021 and earlier. He states that one of the newborn “hungry” fighters defeats him. Mora does not say who this warrior would be, who would defeat Charlo at the age of 168, but thinks someone will do it.
Charlo: Apex Predator is back
I don’t agree. Jermall has a talent to overcome all fighters in Super Middle Libra, including The Top Guy, Canelo Alvarez. If in some way Teunego Crawford can get these four lanes, Jermall will be like a shark on it. This is if Crawford does not ponderous down.
“Charlo is 35 years antique. Can she restore her career on the right track?” said commentator Chris Mannix to Dazn BoxinG, talking about Jermall Charlo.
“Is he? Yes. Yes. He did not,” said Sergio Mora of Charlo, who did not return to the form of the championship during his best years, holding world titles aged 154 and 160. “I hate to say it because he is already at the age of 30. He is 35 years antique. Infactivity will rob the size of a career. We saw it with the fact that we saw it with the fact that we saw it. [former undisputed light welterweight champion] Josh Taylor recently. “
Mora’s disturbing approach to Jermalla is disturbing. He fell into him from previous fighters, who for years sat outside the ring and tried to return, but does not recognize that he is different. “Massive” Charlo has always been brutal, stronger and tough Charlo brothers.
Elite power
Jermall was known for his power instinct and killer. It will still be there, regardless of its four years of inactivity. Muscle memory is there. So Jermall will be just as powerful as when he was busy. Speed has never been what made him great. It was his power and ruthlessness.
“So it doesn’t matter if he is invincible, the world champion in two rebounds. All the awards you mentioned. In idleness takes confidence. I don’t think he returned to the level of championships,” said Mora of Jermall. “He was rejected by one of those who encircle hungry.
Jermall will not be knocked out by any of the “growing hungry” fighters, because there are only a few with talent that pose a threat. The Caleb plant will not be a problem if Charlo is 90% of what was in 2021 and earlier. This fight will show how great Jermall is, and he will be wanted after this victory.
168-Funt division wide open
If Charlo destroys the plant “Honey” in five rounds, as he did against Julian “J-rock” Williams, you can expect that Turks Alalshikh will add him to the miniature list of fighters, wants the winner of Canelo Alvarez versus Crawford to fight.
“I mean that he is an undefeated, hungry master who could be sold,” Mora on Jermall continued. “He and his brother [former undisputed junior middleweight champion Jermell Charlo] He had this agent, this “only lion” that barks to the ring. They were terrifying. Life, not boxing, Jermall Charlo has life. “
The 168 pounds division is widely open to a warrior like Jermall to capture one or all world titles and prevail for a while. His main competition would be David Benavidez and David Morrell, but they both moved to 168. After their departure, all that remained from this idle, dead division:
Jermall Charlo: Unquestioned diamond
- Canelo Alvarez: With a sedate decline and avoiding killers and has been evading for years.
- Diego Pasteco: A high, similar to bird warrior, but simple to hit, and looked on average compared to the lower level opposition.
- Christian Milli: A perfect combined blow with power, but leaky defense. Would give faded 35-year-old huge problems of Canelo; Therefore, he is one of the avid.
- Edgar Berlanga: Hybrid lightweight heavyweight warrior/cruiser’s weight, who can somehow drain to 168. Only about the size of Berlang, is a threat to everyone in the super medium weight ward. However, he does not always fight with confidence. He should have defeated Canelo if he pressed him like in the 12th round of their fight in September last year.
- Caleb Plant: A aging boxer without won in relation to the high -level opposition. His smoke and mirrors with a plant. It is a classic definition of a warrior produced. There is nothing real about it. As American writer Gertrude Stein once said, “a sentence describing the Caleba plant.
- Jermall Charlo: It is a diamond talent in the 168 pounds league. However, he will not be able to realize his potential, unless he stays busy, fighting three times a year. After blurring, the jermall plants will also be on the avid Canelo list.
- Oslyys Iglesias: The largest puncher at the age of 168, but is imperceptible because of his career, which is already beginning. This talented Southpaw, Cuban Iglesias, will be avoided like a scourge of the best fighters.
- Jaime Mungia: Another of the artificial fighters produced. He and the plant are very similar.

Shakur Stevenson accuses Devin Haney of ‘false public negotiations’ after £144 settlement

Potential negotiations between Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson have taken another public turn after Stevenson accused his rival of engaging in “false public negotiations” following Haney’s latest comments on social media.
Haney appeared frustrated after previously agreeing to Stevenson’s proposed catchweight of 144 pounds, suggesting that even accepting those terms did not bring the fight any closer to becoming a reality.
“144 is not enough…I still don’t want to fight! Damn…@ShakurStevenson,” Haney wrote X.
Shakur later responded by dismissing this public exchange as a impoverished reflection of how main event fights actually unfold.
“The same thing you all did with Rolly. All those counterfeit public negotiations… The real negotiations take place offline.” I am the truth that you will see when you stand before me!!” Shakur posted.
Shakiur previously considered 144 pounds to be a fair compromise in a potential showdown with Haney, who has competed at welterweight in his most recent outings. Haney then signaled his willingness to accept the catchweight offer, sparking optimism that one of boxing’s most talked-about fights could gain momentum.
The latest exchange came shortly after the WBO confirmed that Haney must either defend his welterweight title against mandatory challenger Keyshawn Davis or risk losing the belt. While neither Haney nor Stevenson directly addressed the situation in their recent posts, the article did add another note to any future negotiations involving the former two-division world champions.
With Haney facing a WBO title decision and Shakur insisting that stern negotiations will take place behind closed doors, the pressure is now on both camps to determine whether the fight can go beyond an online exchange.

Shakur Stevenson Doubles Down on Tim Tszyu vs Errol Spence Prediction: ‘Can’t Beat Him’

Shakur Stevenson maintained his predictions for the Errol Spence Jr vs. Tim Tszyu fight, believing that one fighter would be too “mentally tough” for the other.
The meeting of the two former world champions will take place on July 25 in Australia at weight of 158 pounds to accommodate Spence’s inactivity.
Even though Tszyu insisted on fighting at super welterweight, his opponent clearly felt the extra 4 pounds would be appropriate after his three-year layoff.
This long break came after Spence suffered a ninth-round stoppage loss to Terence Crawford, who became the undisputed king of the 147-pound division in surprisingly one-sided fashion.
Spence previously held the WBC, IBF and WBA titles with victories over Shawn Porter, Kell Brook and Yordenis Ugas, although a weight augment always seemed inevitable.
Now the 36-year-old hopes to revive his career against Tszyu, who is coming off a two-point win after losing to Sebastian Fundora last July.
While their rematch ended in the seventh round, Tszyu showed tremendous strength against Fundora in 2024, only to lose the WBO title via split decision.
Later that year, the Australian suffered a third-round defeat to Bakhram Murtazaliev, with four-division world champion Stevenson saying: The whole fight against smoke that he thinks Spence is a level above him.
“I think so [Spence] I will do well. I wish Errol all the best; I hope Errol goes in there and beats Tim Tszyu.
“I’m an Errol Spence fan; I was okay with Errol Spence before [Crawford] fight. I know Errol is mentally forceful – Errol is a dog when it comes to fighting, so I don’t think Tim Tszyu can beat him.
Stevenson previously suggested that Spence could “destroy” Tszyu, believing the 31-year-old’s style was tailor-made for “The Truth.”

Shakur Stevenson expects the former champion to defeat Tim Tszyu

Despite concerns about Errol’s long three-year absence from the ring, Shakur believes the former unified welterweight champion still has what it takes to beat Tszyu.
“I think so [Spence] I will do well. I wish Errol all the best; I hope Errol goes in there and beats up Tim Tszyu,” Shakur said on Andre Ward’s channel.
“I’m an Errol Spence fan; Errol Spence was OK before [Terence Crawford] fight. I know Errol is mentally robust. Errol is a dog when it comes to fighting, so I don’t think Tim Tszyu can beat him.
Spence has not fought since a ninth-round loss to Crawford in July 2023 that cost him the WBC, WBA and IBF welterweight titles. After almost three years of break from competition, the 36-year-old is now trying to resume his career in a fresh weight class.
Meanwhile, Tszyu enters the fight with regained momentum after a arduous period in 2024. The former WBO junior middleweight champion bounced back from setbacks to Sebastian Fundora and Bakhram Murtazaliev with back-to-back victories to get back into position for his next marquee fight.
Shakur has previously expressed confidence in Spence’s chances against Tszyu, but his latest comments suggest he remains confident that the Texan’s experience, mentality and overall ability will be the deciding factor on July 25.
The fight will be one of the biggest tests of Spence’s career. While Tszyu is looking to secure a spectacular win that could redefine his position in the junior middleweight division, Errol will be looking to show that he can still compete at the highest level after an extended period of inactivity.
