Jermell is gonna fight Jorge Luis Cota Lugo. This time the bottom of that bum-barrel was scratched badly! Upset?

[apollo creed]

I thought Mell is gonna rematch Harrison but he's gonna fight Jorge Luis Cota Lugo, who got TKO'd by Erickson Lubin-who got KO'd by Mell. lol So basically Mell is fighting a leftover of his own leftover. He's trying to play it super safe but you never know when that shocking upset is gonna come. Harrison took something from Mell.

[gilgamesh]

Was Harrison injured or something? Why was the fight scrapped?

For the record, I was surprise Jermell lost the fight with Harrison. I'm not gonna say it was a robbery because I honestly didn't pay close enough attention to score it, it just felt tedious and dull and nobody really seemed to have a clear advantage to me so it was surprising that Harrison got it considering.

When a guy that is hyped as a very good boxer and he strongly believes in his hype is getting boxed by a guy who got TKO'd by Hurd and Willie Nelson then you are starting to think more carefully about an immediate rematch. Harrison was seen as a facile opponent for Mell.

[apollo creed]

Anyway, a past Austin Trout showed that Mell is not that good. And then Harrison strongly confirmed it.

Charlo was the favorite in the rematch I'm quite sure. I don't think most thought he lost. As I recall the scoring that night was questionable all around as they were curiously wide with Jermall over Korobov in a fight where Korobov was thought to have done well.

To be clear both Charlo fights were tight. No robbery occurred.

Harrison probably edged it but a draw wouldnt have been a bad score.

Jermall probably won it because of the KD in the 12th otherwise Korobov wins 7-5 or at least draws 6-6.

Of you notice Jermall wont even rematch the guy ranked 50th MW in the world who fought on short notice....

Shows you how much the Charlos think of themselves. Call out Danny Jacobs, get confronted, never mention Jacobs again. And now they're fighting can after can despite the plethora of quality MW fighters today (Canelo, Danny, GGG, Andrade, Dervenchenko, maybe BJS, etc)

ONLY LIONSSSS

[Ruthless-RKO]

Already explained here..

It's not Jermell's fault the rematch isn't taking place next. He's gotta stay busy,

Harrison boxed Mell and on short notice-old Korobov gave fists to Mall. These were the best opponents for Charlos and they have failed to impress. The problem is both Charlotte bros got back on that ol' bum-feast(Jorge Luis Cota Lugo and Brandon Adams).

I want to see Mall fighting DEREVYANCHENKO or Korobov II and Mell rematching Harrison or fight J-Rock.

TBF mate, Mell was gonna rematch Harrison. It's Harrison who has pulled out injured.

Hopefully we see it in the fall.

Ok then.

[Enlightened-One]

To be fair, Jorge Cota is only a short-notice replacement for Tony Harrison. It's not as if Jermell had intentionally tried to seek an easy opponent for his next outing.

A fight between Charlo and Cota is admittedly a bit of a mismatch, but I don’t know who else was realistically available.

[apollo creed]

With or without Jorge Cota or Adams, both Charlotte's resumes are soft padded. They supposed to be the next big thing in boxing. The next real deals, the next boogeymen?!

[jamamb]

meh, late replacement of a fight to avenge a loss, mismatch but not much can do

im more disappointed in malls career stagnating, hopefully hes not left waiting too long for a big fight,. he has some wbc interim beelt or something but i see nothing about him fighting canelo

ppl were disappointed when willie monroe was mentioned for mall, but willie actually beat 2 of malls 4 mw campaign opponents

Realistically that cat doesn't want no realistically solid challenges! He thought(underestimated) Harrison is gonna be some easy work as Hurd and Nelson suggested in the past but he got wrong. But there were/are a few good fights for Mell:

Lara, Munguia, Brook, Vargas, Castano? Not talking about J Rock and Harisson.

What’s the reason for your apparent beef with the Charlo’s?

Four of the top-ten 154lb-ers have tasted defeat to one of the twins, with Jermell “beating” the likes of Tony Harrison (yes, I disagreed with the official verdict), Erickson Lubin & Austin Trout.

Jermell was supposed to have been competing in his sixth world title bout during his next outing, but Tony Harrison withdrew.

Put it this way, when Gennady Golovkin was the same age as Jermell Charlo is now (7th May, 2011), he hadn’t faced any world-rated opposition.

He’d only just captured the totally nonsense “Regular” version of the WBA world middleweight title from the anonymous and unrated Nilson Julio Tapia.

And on the 7th May, 2011, Gennadiy would have been training to perform his first defence of this laughable title against the unranked Kassim Ouma (with the Ugandan being a former welterweight contender and a former 154lb world champion that had tasted defeat in five of his previous seven bouts at the time he entered the ring against GGG).

You’re more than welcome to argue with me about this, but you can’t rewrite real-world historical events that actually happened!

Why do you insist on applying double-standards?

That's the spirit!

Nope. Bottom line is Mell struggled against a washed up Trout and then upset by Harrison(who was seen as an easy match). Also Mall struggled vs an old washed up version of Korobov.

So you're essentially ignoring everything I wrote, such as the comparison between Jermell's resume with GGG's at the same age?

Is this a case of you only being willing to recognise real-world facts that support your preferred narrative, whilst ignoring those that undermine it?

Can you please share your thoughts about the comparison between Jermell Charlo’s resume today compared to the one that GGG possessed on the 7th May, 2011, with both fighters being exactly the same age on those dates?

You compare two different things son! Charlos are afro-american fighters with a wannabe flashy style, very vocals and they had a big hype train behind them. GGG was/is from an unknown country from Central Asia and he didn't speak english. Also he is not having a 'flashy'- media appealing personality/style. Guess who had the more hard work to do? Not to say that GGG was screwed in Germany and he was 'prohibited' from fights with Sturm and Zbik.

[apollo creed]

The thing is Charlos had all the 'incentives' to be some boxing stars but no real talent, dedication and toughness like GGG had/s. Charlos hype train was derailed by some wrong 'cherries' b/c Charlos were not no 'real deal material' like GGG.

[gilgamesh]

You came off as a guy who knows a thing or two with the Andy Ruiz thread, but you're coming off like an idiot with this one.

Whether or not The Charlo's ever become P4P talents or whatever, they've already become Boxing stars, and I'd be pretty surprised if Jermell didn't win his title back from Harrison. They wouldn't have gotten as far as they did if they had no talent.

I'm no fan of either of the Charlo's either for the record, but that doesn't mean I feel the need to post a bunch of nonsense about 'em.

Hell I hate Tyson Fury, but I'm not on here saying he's a talentless bum because then I'd look like a moron.

You don't have to call me an idiot b/c I call a spade, a spade. I didn't offend you. Charlos were seen as one of the boogeymen of boxing and the fighters that GGG should face to prove his worthiness. Fortunately these Broner's wannabes got exposed by Harrison and old washed up Korobov. It's just the truth.

I didn't say you were an idiot. I said you're sounding like one here. They didn't get "exposed" by Harrison and Korobov. They had close contests. That's all.

Jermall won his, and Jermell will almost certainly win the rematch with Harrison. They're still players at 154. How far they ultimately go only time will tell, but they're certainly at the very least good boxers. They just may not be great boxers.

The way they were hyped and also the way they were acting, they should've made easy work of Harrison and Korobov. Most probably they thought like this too. It's just that big contrast between what you showboat about and what you actually deliver inside the ring. GGG, Canelo and Jacobs are the true lions inside the ring.

I mean Jacobs doesn't exactly set the world on fire with his performances, but yeah I think he'd kick Jermall's ass, and he's certainly not as cocky as the Charlo's in spite of the fact that he's better. I'm assuming it's the cockiness that rubs you the wrong way so much about them? Lots of fighters are like that. I too prefer the guys that just tend to do their talking in the ring, but Boxing needs sh*t talkers to draw the crowds I suppose. Boxing is chock full of characters. Some are relatable, some are jackasses, some you're indifferent to. I figure it's always more interesting to either Love or Hate the fighter than to just barely notice them at all.
