The WBC champion posed some of his best combinations and Montiel received them helplessly. Later in the bout, the Mexican pugilist came up with a response, outworking Charlo a few times.

Despite that, he wasn’t safe. In the championship rounds, however, Montiel regained his form and gave Jermall Charlo a hard time. ‘Juanito’ even scored a knockdown in round ten, which was barely his achievement. Charlo, who slipped down because of his footwork, rose and continued as though the slip didn’t happen.

That said, several fans can pinpoint the flaws that can cost Charlo his title ahead. However, tonight was still his night and the WBC champion silenced his critics by beating a veteran in Montiel. Hence, ‘Hitman’ added a glittery name to his resume.
