There were many boxing observers who believed Jermall Charlo wanted no part of top-ranked contender Julian Williams. Charlo scoffed at such a suggestion, eventually agreed to the fight, then went out and showed why few in the 154-pound division should want any part of him.
Jesus Cuellar and Abner Mares have never met in the ring heading into their 126-pound title bout. But there’s going to be a lot of familiarity Saturday night when it comes to their corners.
Jermall Charlo and Julian Williams aren’t exactly best friends, so it’s no surprise they don’t agree on very much. However, there is one opinion that the unbeaten 26-year-olds do share: Their 154-pound title clash is going to be the toughest fight of their respective careers—and it’s going to be an epic brawl.
