Jermell Charlo is rising from his 15-month hibernation section. He’s asking PBC to arrange a combat for him towards the “greatest” they’ve at 154.
“Make It Make Sense”
They don’t have anybody at that weight to look at towards the previous undisputed junior middleweight champion, Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KOs). He says, “Make it make sense,” which is code for Jermell’s want for an enormous payday for his comeback. That ship sailed a very long time in the past.
Jermell seemingly needs to be showered with sufficient wealth to purchase the Beverly Hillbillies’ mansion in Bel Air, California.
That doesn’t appear seemingly except Turki Alashikh needs to make use of him for one in all his playing cards to feed him to Serhii Bohachuk. That may be enjoyable to look at.
It’s too late for Jermell to combat Terence Crawford. He’s searching massive recreation and attempting to get a golden parachute retirement payday towards Canelo Alvarez. He gained’t waste time on a fighter who lacks ambition and has been sitting on his couch for 15 months.
Charlo could have burned his bridges with the non-effort he put in towards Canelo Alvarez final day out, and he’s wrecked what little recognition he nonetheless had afterward by sitting on the shelf for over a yr.
Jermell is estimated to have gotten a $20 million payday in that combat, which can clarify why followers haven’t seen cover nor hair of him ever since.
It’s potential that PBC may negotiate a combat for Jermell towards newly topped IBF 154-lb champion Bakram Murtazaliev. Nevertheless, Charlo, 34, by no means confirmed curiosity in preventing Murtazaliev when he was his IBF obligatory, so it’s exhausting to see him agreeing to combat him now. If Charlo needs the quickest path to a world title. Murtazaliev (23-0, 17 KOs) could be the man.
Charlo’s Calls for
“Premier Boxing, give me the very best you bought, or whoever you assume can deal with me at 154. Let the followers select. Lions solely. Make it make sense,” stated Jermell Charlo on social media.
It will be courageous on Charlo’s half to problem the unbeaten Murtazaliev for his IBF belt, however that’s most likely not taking place. That man is just too good.
Murtazaliev destroyed former WBO junior middleweight champion Tim Tszyu by a third-round knockout on October nineteenth, dropping him 4 instances within the combat. If he may do this towards an energetic and nonetheless younger Tszyu, you may solely think about what Murtazaliev would do to the ring-rusty, outdated Jermell.
Jermell seemed horrid in his one-sided 12-round unanimous choice loss to Canelo Alvarez 15 months in the past on September 30, 2023. Charlo didn’t seem even to attempt to win the combat as he moved across the ring, enjoying it protected for 12 rounds. Many boxing followers imagine that Jermell got here for the payday and by no means meant to attempt to win.
The truth that Jermell hasn’t fought since that loss additional will increase the idea that it was at all times nearly cash for him.
