charlo-jermall

By Eric Baldwin: IBF World junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KOs) will be making his third defense of his title this Saturday night on December 10 against #1 IBF challenger Julian “J-Rock” Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOs) on Premier Boxing Champions on Showtime from the USC Galen Center in Los Angeles, California.

The Charlo-Williams fight is the chief support for the WBA World featherweight champion Jesus Cuellar (28-1) vs. Abner Mares (29-2-1) headliner match on Showtime. Charlo vs. Williams is seen by fans as a toss-up bout, as Charlo didn’t look that good in having to scrape by former WBA 154lb champion Austin Trout last May in beating him by a narrow 12 round unanimous decision.

Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams on December 10

1-LR_FIGHT NIGHT-CHARLO VS TROUT-TRAPPFOTOS-05212016-2148

By Dan Ambrose: Undefeated IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KOs) will be defending his title against his #1 IBF mandatory challenger Julian “J-Rock” Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOs) on December 10 on Showtime Boxing at the USC Galen Center in Los Angeles, California.

This should be a good test for the 26-year-old Charlo. He did not shine in his second defense of his International Boxing Federation 154lb title last May. Charlo won the fight by building an early lead, but he really ran out of gas in the second half of the contest, as Trout came storming back to make it close on the cards.

By Jeff Aranow: After making an easy voluntary title defense last Saturday night against an over-matched fringe contender James “Jazza” Dickens, Rigondeaux got the bad news on Tuesday with the World Boxing Association ordering him to start negotiations with unbeaten WBA interim 122lb champion Moises “Chucky” Flores (25-0, 17 KOs).

Rigondeaux and the 29-year-old Flores have 30 days to negotiate the fight until August 17. A purse bid will be called if the two fighters haven’t successfully negotiated the fight by that date.

IBF to order Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams

Image: IBF to order Jermall Charlo vs. Julian Williams

By Jeff Aranow: The International Boxing Federation will be ordering IBF 154lb champion Jermall Charlo (24-0, 18 KOs) to fight #1 IBF mandatory Julian Williams (22-0 -1, 14 KOs) this week. Charlo, 26, will then have three months to make the fight otherwise he’ll be stripped of his title.

Williams’ manager Stephen Edwards has doubts whether Charlo will take the fight. He’s not sure. He thinks there’s a possibility Charlo will wind up vacating the IBF belt due to the problems he’s having in making the 154lb weight limit and the potentially difficult fight he’d have against Williams.

Canelo is not bigger than boxing, says Julian Williams

1-CaneloKhanLondonPC_Hoganphotos9By Dan Ambrose: Unbeaten junior middleweight contender Julian Williams (22-0, 14 KOs) says he doesn’t like how WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is fighting at catch-weights. He does not agree with Canelo holding the WBC middleweight and then expecting his opponents to fight him at 155lbs rather than at 160.

Williams thinks Canelo is trying to create his own weight class by fighting at 155 and then using his clout to get his opponents to fight him at this weight. Williams thinks that Canelo should either defend his WBC title at the full weight of 160lbs against his mandatory challenger Gennady “GGG” Golovkin or he should vacate the belt.

Julian Williams challenges Jermall Charlo to fight him

1-fight night-0011b williams marcello]By Dan Ambrose: After defeating the much smaller, weaker and less skilled #6 IBF contender Macello Matana (16-2, 5 KOs) last night by an easy 7th round knockout, #5 IBF Julian Williams (22-0-1, 14 KOs) called out IBF junior middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (23-0, 18 KOs) to a fight.

Williams, who was soundly beaten by Errol Spence Jr. in the U.S Championships in the past, feels that he’s ready to take on the guy who is arguably the best fighter in the division in the 25-year-old Charlo. This is the harder punching brother, not Jermell Charlo. Jermall can really punch, and Williams wants a part of him.
