Via Chris Williams: Jermall Charlo says Gennadiy Golovkin should fight him next instead of Canelo Alvarez because he was hit in the back in their second match of 2018.
What Chris Williams wants to know is WHY is Jermall (32-0, 22 KOs) targeting his past 40-year-old goalkeeper Golovkin for a fight instead of Canelo?
That might seem like a good example of Charlo’s cherry picking, but of course, he’s basically been doing it since moving into the 160 lb division in 2017.
Showtime has been honest on television about Jermall’s inadequacy with the weak opposition over the past 5 years, seemingly failing to keep him in the fire to get him to fight the high-powered opposition instead of the high-powered ones. can of tomatoes that he is eating.
Jermall’s objections as of 2017:
- Juan Macias Montiel
- Sergiy Derevyanchenko
- Dennis Hogan
- Brandon Adams
- Jorge Sebastian Heiland
- Hugo Centeno Jr
If Charlo feels that GGG was beaten by Canelo (57-2-2, 39 KOs) the last time they fought, the logical move for the undefeated Texan would be to take on the Mexican star, right? ?
Golovkin would NEVER agree to fight Charlo because he clearly doesn’t like that fight. If he did, he wouldn’t have burned through the last four years of his career fighting these unknown fighters:
- Ryota Murata
- Kamil Szeremeta
- Sergiy Derevyanchenko
- Steve Rolls
Golovkin could have picked Charlo or Demetrius Andrade in the last four years of his career, but he instead lifted his record with four mismatches on DAZN.
You have to wonder how the streaming giant feels about the low-level opposition Golovkin is fighting on their network.
“GGG should NOT fight Canelo. Canelo beat your**, so fight me now,” said Jermall Charlo above social media.
Besides Charlo saying he wants to fight Golovkin, he also includes the 49-year-old player Oscar De La Hoyaand the injured Demetrius Andrade, who has shoulder problems.
Jermall needs to show a little courage by fighting some of these guys: David Benavidez, David Morrell Jr, Chris Eubank Jr, Jaime Munguia, or Janibek Alimkhanuly.
“When you look at the history of boxing, the boxers get older and don’t do the same. That’s what people are having,” Golovkin’s coach, Johnathon Banks, told Mayweather channelreacted to fan belief that 40-year-old Golovkin was too old to beat Canelo.
“They don’t take into account a clean lifestyle [of Golovkin]and they don’t take into account that fighters can actually fight smarter as they age,” Banks continued.
“Very few people struggle to do that, and I don’t blame people for predicting what they predict. But we [Team Golovkin] Prepare for victory, and that’s all that matters.
“No fighter planes [Canelo & GGG] who they were when they fought the first two battles. If you look at the history of both fighters, no one is like them when they first got there.
“Canelo is a lot more confident now than he was then, and he has a lot more vocals. Canelo never spoke English to any of the media during those two matches. Now, he speaks English, clear English. So even in that respect, he’s different.
“GGG is at its peak. He’s still in his prime. I want the knockout anyway. I’m not worried about the judges. I’m sure they’ll make whatever decision they make, but I think both of them have their fair share of shakes,” said Banks when asked if Golovkin needed a knockout to win. or not.
“What G and I are looking at is that we are preparing for victory. You are not fighting the referee; You don’t fight the judges. You are fighting with Canelo. For him, it’s the end of a chapter, sort of. I think it was very important to him when the judges said he won,” said Banks.
