    absolutely no idea how Jermall made 154 for so long, anyway

    if you saw Charlo during the weight-in for the Heiland fight, he looked seriously emaciated and that was for 160

    he looked much better the following day, so all part of the plan, no doubt; but pretty clearly the guy a serious weight cutter.

    ----

    just fyi: i think you've got your Charlos mixed up: Jermall is the one who moved up to MW

    Jermell is the one who was apparently left alone in the house with an intruder

    "A" is in the weight class Above :)

    Here's what I'm saying, Heiland, injury or no injury was simply not in Charlo's league. That's why I say that it really wasn't about Heiland. The fight was just to showcase where Charlo is at in his jump to middleweight. He looks strong and more active now. His ring presence has improved and his skills and confidence that he belongs there is solid. He has arrived and is a serious threat to anybody in the middleweight division. With the exception of Jacobs, you won't find any fighter on GGG's resume that brings to the table what Charlo brings and I think that Charlo moves better than Jacobs and has a far superior jab. With the exception of Mayweather and Lara, which Canelo lost to one and controversial on the other, his resume doesn't have a fighter of Charlo's caliber in it.

    He's huge. He dwarfed career MW JSH (Jorge Sebastian Heiland) even though it was his first official fight at MW. Looked like a HW vs a WW.

    He weighed 170 in the ring when he fought Lenny Bottai and that was back in late 2014. 170 is GGG's average ring weight.

    I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jermello was 200-215 lbs by the time he climbed in the ring the other night. He's arguably the biggest MW of all time.

    Oh my bad, I thought he was Jermello. So he's Jermallo? They look kind of alike so it's easy to get them mixed up.

    :lol: at the line about Jermello being the one left alone in the house

    Let Charlo fight Jacobs, not a cripple. Nobody wants to see him fight a cripple, but I guess he will fight another cripple again? Or take advice from Wilder and fight a wino from the alley?

    Charlo did what he had to do, but when I watched it I got the impression maybe his shots are not quite as hard at 160lbs. I don't think Heiland was ever hurt to the head, just his leg was giving out. I do like Jermall though, he will give the best at 160 tough fights.

    Charlo needs to fight GGG next. It must happen.

    Good post. I had thought that at the beginning that it didn't matter about Heiland's leg, that this would have been the outcome either way, just later on. But then I thought well it is kinda hard to really gauge it because of that, but like you said, hes not in the same league. I see Charlo being a top guy at MW

    Charlo is the real deal and will prove alot of people wrong by what he does at 160, he's a handful for anyone at 160 right now. The guy looks big at 160 has good pop good jab good handspeed a good ring IQ and a mean streak.

    I agree and have been on the Charlo bandwagon for quite awhile now.

    Charlo is a huge MW . And because of height and weight he will trouble any MW.
    Jacobs use this advantage against Golovkin and so will Charlo.

    Exactly, He has the poise and skill of a true champion and here's the scary thing, he is still growing and getting better. He don't get rattled from punches and like you said, he has that much needed mean streak.

    Thats all fine and dandy, lets just hope he steps it up and doesnt use Heiland's bum leg as an excuse to fight another nobody.

    My hope is that GGG or Canelo steps to him after their fight.
