Jermall Charlo stripped...finally.

[Spicoli]

Some things just deserve their own threads . It's been a long long time coming and a boatload of coddling by El Heffe Mauricio Sulaimán/ WBC but following the arrest of Charlo in Texas on Monday. Charges include DWI and fleeing the scene of an accident. Charlo was over twice the blood alcohol legal limit at the time of arrest.

This is what it took to convince Sulaiman that hell has frozen over and he moved to strip Charlo of his 160 dusty and idle middleweight belt on Tuesday..."The WBC has provided and will continue to do as much as possible to support Jermall Charlo during his difficult times with regards to mental wellness" he said on twatter. Charlo had not defended the title over a span of 35 months and largely it was explained by the sanctioning body with as little as 'well, he's going thru some stuff'. I'm not sure but in recent years that span of inactivity by a champion has to be some record. In a way and boxing aside, this may be exactly what Charlo needs as the belt and all that comes with holding a status as a free pass can serve as a crutch. As a man and as a father we can hope it shakes Charlo up enough to do a deep dive for some help he may need. Ring career is temporary, but family goes 24/7.

Jermall must have had some naked pictures of Sulaiman that he was able to keep the title for so long.

Sounds like Jermall had a relapse of whatever he was going through and Suilaman found out and had no choice but to strip him because he knew it was a turning point in his recovery. Let's pray for Charlo.
