Jermell Charlo

Jermell Charlo dropped Brian Castano with a left hook in the 10th round and quickly ended the fight shortly after to become the undisputed junior ...

Trainer Derrick James said he instructed Charlo to shoot his shots to the shoulder to catch Castano with follow-up punches when the Argentine was ducking. "His plan is to get in good shots at the end of the round," said Charlo, whose twin brother, Jermall, is a middleweight titleholder. Charlo, who is from Houston, ate the shots and really took over in Round 7 after he buckled Castano with a left hand. But it was Charlo who made the proper corrections to earn the biggest win of his career. The Argentine was in no shape to continue, and Charlo sensed the moment. His jab and movement allowed him to escape trouble and eventually led to the punch that ended the rivalry and welcomed boxing's ninth male undisputed champion of the four-belt era. For the second time, Charlo scored a knockout in a title rematch (vs. Tony Harrison in 2019) and now he's the undisputed 154-pound champion after adding Castano's title to the three he already owned. Castano appeared to win that bout, but was only ahead on one scorecard, 114-113 (the other scores were 114-114 and 117-111 for Charlo). Round 10 was the same frame in which Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs) landed his fight-changing shot 10 months ago. "One thing I changed up is try not to be on the ropes too much ... place shots on really precise parts on the body and wear him out." ... I feel like I still have a lot to give in boxing. Castano crumbled in a heap in Round 10 of an instant classic Saturday, a PBC on Showtime rematch that topped the first fight that ended in a draw.

Jermell Charlo became the first undisputed super welterweight champion of the four-belt era on Saturday with a 10th-round stoppage of Brian Castaño.

Charlo won his first version of a 154lb title in 2013, and he claimed the WBC belt in May 2016. But the judges in Charlo’s native Texas couldn’t decide, with one scoring it for each fighter and the third seeing a draw. But no boxer had held every major title at super welterweight since the WBO formed and inaugurated the four-belt championship era in 1988. Castaño’s aggression and Charlo’s sharp responses led to big exchanges in almost every round, highlighted by a sensational fifth round of relentless action. After an entertaining bout with ample toe-to-toe action, Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs) dropped Castaño twice in rapid succession in the 10th. He completed his remarkable quest by becoming just the seventh fighter to reign as the undisputed champ of any weight class since the four-belt era began in 1988.

Brian Castaño esperaba probar que era él quien debía ser el mejor de la superwelter el sábado en el Dignity Health Sports Park de Carson, pero Jermell ...

Ya para la segunda mitad del combate, Castaño no parecía poder descifrar el ataque de Charlo y el cansancio comenzaba a tomar control de su cuerpo. Brian Castaño quería demostrar el sábado que la pelea del 17 de julio de 2021 se mereció mejor suerte que un simple empate ante Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KOs). Su objetivo era mucho mayor que solo reclamar el triunfo que muchos vieron como suyo en una pelea que fue contendiente a “Pelea del Año 2021”. Brian Castaño esperaba probar que era él quien debía ser el mejor de la superwelter el sábado en el Dignity Health Sports Park de Carson, pero Jermell Charlo probó ser mucho más que él.

'Iron Man' no dejó duda en la revancha y acabó al argentino en 10 rounds en el Dignity Health Sports Park de Carson, California.

Pensaba que él se iba a levantar ya que él es un tipo resistente y nadie lo había noqueado anteriormente, pero me di cuenta de que se acabó cuando volvió a caer". Él se agachó y yo lo agarré justito. "Yo les sigo diciendo que mi lema es que entro y salgo como un ladrón. No me pagan horas extra.

Con ello, Jermell Charlo logró retener sus cinturones de la Asociación Mundial de Boxeo (AMB), el Consejo Mundial de Boxeo (CMB) y la Federación Internacional de Boxeo (FIB), a los cuales se sumó el cetro que lo arrebató a Castaño: Organización Mundial de Boxeo (OMB). Sin embargo, con el paso de los rounds, Jermell Charlo volvió a su plan: mantuvo su distancia y comenzó a lanzar mejores combinaciones, no cayó en la invitación del argentino de intercambiar golpes. Jermell Charlo hizo historia pura: logró unificar los títulos de la categoría superwelter (154 libras) al noquear en el décimo asalto al argentino Brian Castaño, quien este sábado sufrió su primera derrota en su carrera.

CARSON, Calif. (AP) — Jermell Charlo had to exercise incredible patience during his quest to become the first undisputed super welterweight champion.
