HARRISON-CHARLO II

Jermell Charlo has some pop but he was outboxed all night

 

Charlo knew what he's doing, was ahead on all cards

 

The good news is that the mainstream was just exposed to three extremely exiting fights - all of which ended in stoppage.

 

Charlo ahead on the cards before the last 2 knockdowns

California officials are terrible

Charlos chin prevailed

 

J-Rock vs Charlo... let's do it.

 

Williams over charlo

 

WOW!!!...




REED

 

Very entertaining night of fights overall

 

agREED...

TAD Early...

NATHAN Seemed to Land in that Final Flurry...Granted, Harrison Wasn't Firing Back OR Attempting to Hold Either...

Harrison DESERVES a 3rd Fight, IMMEDIATELY, But You Can Already Tell Charlo DON'T Want No More of That Smoke Anytime Soooooon…."Off to Bigger and Better Things"...






REED

 

And on Fox!

Not on fuckin DAZN where zero mainstreamers are watching.

 

on fox. harrison bringing the fight to charlo made it a far more entertaining match than the first. and also gave williams the blue print to whip charlo, who seemed pretty clueless fighting on the inside

 

I only worry cause the Charlo bros have more pop than Hurd.

 

i dont think jermell charlo hits harder than hurd

 

Charlo vs Hurd would be fireworks.

 

hurd vs anyone is usually fireworks

 

Perhaps, But He's Better Equipped to Catch J-Rock w/a Shot he WON'T See Than Hurd Is...




REED

 

Id make williams a -180 favorite over charlo. Though i expect the actual odds to be closer. what would you put the line at reed?

 

Based on Name Recognition and Coming on the Heels of an Exciting Come from Behind KO (Not to Mention J-Rock's IFFY Punch Resistance), REED Would Expect Charlo to Be a Slight Favorite...

Somewhere in the -180 to -220 Range...





REED

 

If Williams dominates this Rosario guy in January I think it will at least be a pickum or Williams a slight favorite

 

REED "Gets" What You and X are Saying, he "See's What Ya'll See...Charlo's LIMITED as Fuck...

REED's Saying Charlo is Limited in a DIFFERENT Way Than Hurd...Hurd's Antonio Margarita LIMITED...By Comparison, Charlo's More of a Sugar Shane LlMITED, 2-3 Notches SLOWER In Terms of Speed...

Charlo's a TOUGHER Matchup for J-Rock Than Hurd, Stylistically...J-Rock Was Basically Chopping Wood in DC, and Hurd was the Tree...





REED

 

Balderas' Problem is a LACK of Head Movement...

He "Holds the Phone" as Barry Hunter Calls It, But Balderas Relies On That EXCLUSIVELY...Like an AMATEUR Accustomed to His Headgear and Glove Being Enough to Block Incoming Left Hooks 100% of the Time...

Balderas Has POLISHED Offensive Skills But if he Doesn't Learn to Move His Head, Soooooooooon, He'll Get KO'ed Again By his 15th Fight or So...

What Sucks for Balderas is He's OLDER Than All of the Young Current Lightweight Studs...Balderas is 11 Months Older than Teofimo, Who's Just OVER a Year Older than Ryan Garcia, Who's 3 Months OLDER Than Devin Haney...





REED

 

Stylistically charlo is a harder fight than Hurd. I agree with that. On the inside Williams should handle him and on the outside I still favor Williams to get the better of it

 

I'm actually saying the exact same thing regarding the difference between Charlo and Hurd.

 

Problem is a big part of defense comes down to reflexes - and Balderas doesn't have them.

He has offensive reflexes - but on the flip side he cant see punches coming, which is very concerning.

I wont write him off, cause he's still only 23, but his future doesnt look bright.

 

I also think J-Rock is more durable than Harrison.

Harrison has a truly horrible chin. J-Rock's chin is trackable, but he takes a better shot than Harrison.

 

Are any of these guys marquee fighters or are they all just exposing each other to an extent?

Who is The Best Middleweight on Earth?

None of them? Any of them?

 

At 154? Williams vs Charlo will determine the top guy. Its unclear right now, but I'll pick Williams.

At middleweight, I think Andrade is probably the best at 160, because Canelo has moved up and Golovkin is close to being washed up.

But hopefully Andrade vs Jermall Charlo can be made.

Truth be told, none of these guys are greats. They're all pretty good, but none set the world on fire.

 

Balderas had gotten far too full of myself.

 

@EspinozaBoxing

 

He should start with a new corner.

The Reynosos?

They've actually had a positive impact on Ryan Garcia.
