(Credit: Josh Jordan/Premier Boxing Champions) By Jim Dower: #1 WBC 154lb contender Jermell Charlo (27-0, 12 KOs) did his job last night in defeating veteran Joachim Alcine (35-8-2, 21 KOs) by a 6th round knockout to remain unbeaten on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC Sports Net from the NRG Arena in Houston, Texas.
The 25-year-old Charlo had too much speed, punching power and talent for the 39-year-old Alcine to deal with in this fight. It’s fortunate for Alcine that he was able to go six rounds, because he was hurt in the 4th from a left hook from Charlo.
