The realm of boxing is used to unexpected bouts that come their way. One such unexpected fight is slated to take place between Jermell Charlo and Canelo ‘Saul’ Alvarez. The former is undertaking the fight by going up two weight classes. The fight is indeed unexpected given Canelo was to clash against the elder Charlo brother, Jermall. However, the latter excused himself citing personal reasons.

It is a historic matchup in itself given it is the first two undisputed fighters will be clashing to decide who amongst them is the best fighter. However, while the younger Charlo brother is being applauded for his dedication in moving up the weight class, he has also been criticized for being ‘aggressively’ passionate.

Stubborn or Passionate, Jermell Charlo Speaks Out

In an interview on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game Podcast, ‘Hitman The Future of Boxing’ Charlo was asked from where channeled the passion he possesses to excel in everything. The interviewer asked the fighter about the persona he brings to the table that is entirely based on the idea that he is ever ready for strife. Hitman responded saying that the passion and zeal he brings to the table is something that he naturally imbibes. Associating this behavior to his childhood days with his twin brother, he said, “Grew up with a Twin brother. Everything was a competition. Everything. I don’t care if it was putting on clothes to who ate the food the fastest, I always wanted to be on top, I wanted to win.”

Elaborating on his ability to rise from the losses he’s incurred in his personal life and professional challenges, he said, “And I took some losses before, in life and the ring and I’m still the same. I’m still hungry. So it’s like, I’m just so self-driven bro, like I need no motivation. I just wanna win, I’m passionate about everything that I do. I don’t care what it is.”

Which Charlo Brother has a better record?

The realm of boxing has plenty of brothers who have been a part of the sport in the same era. Mostly not each other’s contemporaries but still a sort of comparison is established in the realm. The Charlo brothers are a part of this discourse. When it was announced that Jermell Charlo was replacing his brother Jermall, the world went into an utter frenzy.

A comparative study of their career in boxing reveals a striking contrast in gaming strategies. The elder Charlo brother has competed in both the light-middleweight and middleweight divisions. He has a stellar record of 32 matches, with an undisputed status. With a knockout rate of 68%, he stands to be one of the best fighters in the sport. However, with his hiatus of over two years, his career has taken a dent.

Jermell Charlo on the other hand is the undisputed light middleweight champion. Almost 15 years in the sport, he has fought 37 bouts, winning 35 of them. With a KO rate of 54%, he seems all set to match up to his brother’s capabilities.
