    I think Charlos inactivity is going to be a problem against Benevidez, I wouldn't be surprised if he loses this fight or looks bad in a. I just don't think his heart is in it anymore. Benevidez is a gatekeeper but he's getting Jermall at his most vulnerable Moment.

    Respectfully you need to change your av. It's too similar to mine (especially as the itty bitty thumbnails in forum view) and I keep seeing your threads and getting very confused.

    Also apparently Fanduel has Benavidez a +520 underdog, that's insane! :eek:

    Benavidez is shot and has nothing to offer at 160 anyway. Charlo will win what most likely will be a dull fight.

    I predict they both look awful.

    I'm seriously thinking Charlo is going to get Knocked down and hurt in this fight. Benevidez may be a smaller fighter but he's coming to fight and Charlo I don't think is ready for that mentally. I mean look at his demeanor during the interview, his eyes, something is off. He should retire.

    I hope Charlo clips little Benavidez, whom I never thought much of.

    I wonder if Charlo will represent his culture again.

    Even a overly in active Charlo would beat Benavidez with his shot leg not to mention his size, even without his leg giving out i'm not sure how far Jose really would have made it down the road & now he has a legitimate reason for never having done so.

    Peg-leg cripple vs inactive mental patient drug fiend

    I feel kind of sorry for Jermallo he looks completely mentally frazzled

    That whole exchange was entertaining but too corny for the most part

    Interestingly, the fight is going to be at a catchweight of 163 so Jermallo's belt won't be on the line and Jermallo himself said the fight being at 163 was a stepping stone for him moving up to 168 so why in god's name aren't the WBC stripping him given how he's not fought in 30 months or obviously defended his belt in 30 months and he's not defending it for this fight, meaning that it will like be close to three years, at least 33-34 months, by the time he's ready to defend it again, if he even intends to which it doesn't sound like he does.

    Jermallo side-stepped the question when he a reporter asked him if he thought it was unfair for him to keep the belt for so long without defending it and he also said this fight at a catchweight had nothing to do with him not being able to make 160. So why not have it on the line for this fight?

    There's no way little Benavidez is hurting Charlo or knocking him out but I understand your observations to be valid

    There's no hype about this fight, people don't seem to really care.
