Jermall Charlo had a tougher than expected time in his last ring appearance. The current WBC middleweight belt holder took on fringe contender, Juan Macias Montiel, in the backyard of Charlo in Houston, Texas on June 19th.
While the stoppage was expected, Montiel left many with their jaws wide open as he pushed the truculent knockout artist like never before. Despite his struggles, Charlo still cruised to a unanimous decision win on the night. Immediately after, Charlo turned his attention to current unified super middleweight titlist, Canelo Alvarez.
For a number of years now, Charlo has called for a showdown against the Mexican product. But while he’s made it clear that he’ll face Alvarez at any weight class, former super middleweight champion David Benavidez continues to interject. The two-time belt holder has made it clear that he wants Charlo as soon as possible.
Jermell, (not to be confused with his similarly named identical twin brother Jermall who recently retained his WBC middleweight world belt against Juan Macias Montiel), comes into the fight hoping to become the first-ever undisputed super welterweight champion in the four-belt era.
Widely seen as the best fighter of his generation in this division, the Louisiana fighter last stepped into the ring back in September, beating IBF and WBA champion Jeison Rosario in eight rounds to set up this potentially history-making fight.
His Argentinean opponent tonight my have an underdog billing, but shouldn t be underestimated. Castano beat Patrick Teixeira via an unanimous points decision back in February with a statement-making performance to claim the WBO belt and will be determined to maintain his 100% record here.

Fans were none too pleased when Jermall Charlo vs. Juan Macias Montiel was announced. The prevailing thought process surrounding their contest was that Charlo would simply bulldoze right over his man.
Despite those thoughts, both Charlo and Montiel actually produced a fan-pleasing fight as the two went to war for 12 rounds at the Toyota Center, in Houston Texas on June 19th. Ultimately, Charlo would go on to win via wide unanimous decision. While few are complaining about how their showdown unfolded, Daniel Jacobs, long-time rival of Charlo, revealed that he initially attempted to lock in a date with the Houstonian to settle their beef once and for all.
