    both at middle and prime. both are master boxers with slick moves and heavy hands whos winning this war why and how. my pick says charles has too much for joey but i could see it going the other way too.

    The lack of footage of Charles at the weight makes it pretty much a very difficult pick. He beat Burley twice, but on the other hand got taken to school by Marshall and Bivins, and had losses to Kid Tunero and Ken Overlin. My gut tells me Giardello's experience would get the better of the young Charles. I'd expect him to time that straight right on Charles's jaw a few times, likely putting him down in the process and winning a clear but competitive decision.
