Jermall Charlo v Julian Williams Dec. 10 on Showtime!
Frankly I'm just glad to see action returning in December as we've been in a massive drought :tumbleweed: This is a great match up and has been brewing for awhile with 22-0-1 Williams calling him out at every microphone and in my eye at least Jermall looks the lesser of the champion twin brothers as of late. A faded but step up in Trout was having some moments and Williams is levels above a 43 yr old K9. Still picking Charlo as he'll no doubt rise to the occasion but if he comes in sluggish and void of combination punching he may very well end up on his arse. Love the fight in what is a competitive 154 division, with or without the lil freckle faced fella :-X
In what should probably have been the co main we get the Argentinian bulldozer Jesus Andres Cuellar 28-1 defending vs Abner Mares 29-2-1. Nice styles clash and both will be a full year out when the bell rings after the original date had to be rescheduled. In the name of Joseph Agbeko still talking in a high pitch voice I think Cuellar can wear Mares down at this point. Good scrap. Sergey Lipinets vs Leonardo Zappavinga as well.

This is a damn good fight, I think I favour Williams slightly tbh. He hasn't been tested much, but I felt Trout shouldn't have been such a tough assignment for Charlo, so there isn't much separating these guys imo. It's easy to look like a thinker/nuanced fighter if you've got great ability and fight guys way below your level, Charlo appeared to be exactly where Williams is now, before his last fight.

That would stand to reason;D

154 could become a hot division really quickly with more matchups like this. The talent is there, they just need to fight.

I was glad to hear Jermall take this tough fight.... Finally we will see what we have w/ Jermall because he will be tested early and often in this fight.... Williams can match Charlo's skill but Julian has more pop me thinks.... This one could be a barn burner....:D

Yeh I could flip a coin and see either winning but Trout was step up difference between the two. Not sure what Charlo is rehydrating to now but he has looked soggy, frankly lethargic and had to work vs Trout. But he has better polish and behind better jab he might leave Williams overcommitted and turning into combos. Williams has a short hard jab but he does most things one at a time.
On aside....HBO and SHOWTIME finally air fights...once again on the same night :furious2: :p Crawford vs the infamous TBA on hbo.

Two decent fights on one card. How about that.

It's been a long time since we could say it but there is way too much boxing on tomorrow ;D. I count 5 cards
Re: Jermall Charlo v Julian Williams Dec. 10 on Showtime!
They should spread these boxing matches over each week. Not right. They should fight over christmas and new year.

Hey, three screens and four fights on ;D Too much man.
Charlo and Williams first up now. This should be a great showdown. What the sport needs much more of early on!
Re: Jermall Charlo v Julian Williams Dec. 10 on Showtime!
Williams pretty sharp 1st....wow! Charlo drops him with huge jab, hurt bad.
Re: Jermall Charlo v Julian Williams Dec. 10 on Showtime!
Excellent give and take round 2. Charlo takes his best right after knockdown. Williams reacts to body shots and feeling it. Sniff and scratch good scrap so far.
