Jermell Charlo is the clone of Deontay Wilder at 154.

For the first time, I disagree with you. I will say he has fell in love with his power a bit. Coach James actually stays on Jermell about that. Jermell hasn't regressed in my opinion. He just love getting want the fans like, a knock out! He came to coach James wanting to increase his power, and coach James has helped him. The only comparison of him and Wilder is that they want to KO everybody. Jermell listens to his coach instructions and actually has skills. Wilder rely on power all the time and his athleticism. Go back and watch some of his fights like the Harrison first fight where he was trying to load up on punches. Coach James was telling him to stop loading up so much and use his jab more to get in closer.

No problem man. You know I'm a big charlo fan and I thought James was good for him at first and he did bring out more power but like we both said Charlo loves his power. I didn't hear James in his corner but I thought he beat Harrison in that first fight in a close fight. Hopefully James will have him on point on Saturday and Charlo won't spend the fight loading up and losing rounds.

Jermell has atrocious footwork for a guy at 154. Just compare him to other guys at 154. His footwork isn't good. He's flat footed. So is Wilder.

Jermell has an okay jab but can be low volume at times. So is Wilder. Both have the same technique when throwing the jab by the way.

Jermell struggles with all kind of opponents. A decent boxer/counter-puncher caused him hell in Tony Harrison but also a pressure fighter in Jeison Rosario was having solid success if you exclude the KDs. Wilder struggled with boxers (Ortiz, Fury) but also struggled with the pressure and inside fighting of Fury in the rematch.

Jermell has game changing power. He was losing badly against Jason Jackson and came back with a KO in the later rounds. He also ko'd Tony Harrison in the rematch (which was a close fight overall). He also had that close fight with Trout and he won that with two KDs, otherwise Trout would have won that too. Rosario fight was also very close and Rosario was really bringing the pressure and made Jermell holding for his dear life in some situations. But again he landed those big shots and dropped him before he stopped him. The KO1 against Lubin also another example of his insane power.

Funny enough that both guys don't like each other.

I kind of like Jermell a lot more though. I think his explosiveness and power are more impressive than Wilders at HW. You don't see guys like him often in the lower weight classes. Limited skills but very athletic, strong and big with big power in both hands. It's much harder to have success in the lower weight classes based on that attributes. 154 isn't a strong weight class but still...

Yep you could see even in the Rosario fight he came out swinging with bad intentions early and dropped Rosario in the first round with a sort of glancing shot that if it had landed clean may have put Rosario out cold. Also from what you have said this is why I think that Tim Tszyu beats him right now if they were to fight.

Jermell ain't nothing like Wilder.

lol no.. jermell is a much better boxer then wilder.. you can figure that out just watching one fight of them each smh.

Forza · Jul 13, 2021

Stupid comparison. Charlo brothers have been boxing their entire lives and are finely tuned offensive machines. The MW brother isn't that good but the LHW jermell is a great fighter. If he beats brian castano that is very impressive.

Wilder has next to no boxing IQ and amazing power. But little Charlo isn't that comparable in that regard. Sure he gets outboxed some but he doesn't drop rounds like Wilder. Charlo is also much more varied in his arsenal and can adapt better than Wilder. Charlo dominating a division wouldn't be bad for boxing like Wilder dominating a division would be. If somebody with as poor of skill as Wilder cleaned out HW we wouldn't hear the end of it for a decade. Charlo cleaning out his division can just be chalked up to Charlo being an overall solid boxer with top tier KO power. Not a bad reputation to have.

Charlo`s power P4P is nowhere near Wildder`s level, Wildder`s 1-2 shows far better technique, Wilder is better than both Charlo brother P4P.

I hate to admit this but Mell has regressed as a fighter back when the twins first got started he was the better boxer of the two. When he left shields his boxing skills went down and his new trainer, Spence's trainer had him focusing on sitting down on his shots more. At first it seemed like a good fit but as he's had more fights under him he's started to fall in love with his power and like wilder is almost content to lose rounds looking to load up waiting for the perfect counter or opening to land his one hitta quitta. That works sometimes but it won't work all the time. He needs to start boxing more using the jab upping his workrate and that big shot will come to him instead of waiting on it while getting out worked With that said he's much more complete than wilder but I think the comparison is an accurate and fair one. Imo he made a big mistake leaving shields.

He made a massive mistake leaving Shields, you're right there. Shields actually made him a mostly competent boxer with immense physical gifts to complement those skills and take him to the top of the game.

Wilder is better P4p than both?

Your insane man

Regarding 'his' power. Harrison, Rosario, Cota, Lubin, Jackson, and Alcine are all chinny and they were facing a 200lb Jermallo not Jermello.

The Real Lance · Jul 14, 2021

Not even close. Jermell is too good a boxer for this comparison

I couldn't agree more. If you asked me about the Charlo twins three or four years ago i'd have said that Jermell is the more talented boxer with the better skillset and Jermall is more the power puncher who tries to take opponents heads off but things have changed. Jermell really looked poor skill-wise in his last few fights to be honest. He was losing a lot of rounds against Trout, Tony, Rosario and even against Cota early on. His power did all the work in those fights.

On Saturday he better goes back to his jab. If he doesn't use his jab properly against Castano he's in a world full of trouble i think. Although i think his size and power could save him again.

I hope James has worked with him on upping his workrate and not loading up as much. I'm a big Charlo fan as both are from Houston my hometown.
