Fight Highlights
Winner 
Jermall Charlo defended his 154-pound world title for a third time with a vicious fifth-round KO of previously unbeaten Julian Williams.
Fight HighlightsSergey Lipinets (11-0, 9 KOs) gained an eighth-round KO of Leonardo Zappavigna (35-3, 25 KOs) in their 140-pound world title elimination bout.
Jermall Charlo was virtually inseparable from twin brother Jermell for most of their youth, and even today the siblings share the distinction of calling themselves 154-pound world champions. But the 26-year-old Texans took different paths to reach the same destination.
Julian Williams’ patience has been tested for much of this year as he waited to see if he would get his first shot at a world title.
If Abner Mares has learned anything in the past year, it’s the value of patience.
