How Many Losses Does Jermell Charlo Have and Against Whom?

With a mean streak reputation for fighting, Jermell Charlo is currently considered to be one of the most well-rounded fighters around. He has reigned the super welterweight division as the Undisputed king for a long time now. Currently, in that division, every boxer chooses to avoid fighting in a match with the guy. His track record speaks for itself in that department. Now, Charlo’s hunger has grown stronger. Moving ahead, he wants to test his might against another fellow Undisputed champion of a different division.

Jermell Charlo will now move up two weight classes for his upcoming bout against Canelo Alvarez. Notably, everybody thinks ‘Iron Man’ can give good competition to ‘Cinnamon’, and it’s going to be interesting to see an Undisputed vs. Undisputed clash in boxing. However, in spite of all his accolades, Charlo’s record is not stainless. He has tasted defeat against one of his opponents.

Jermell Charlo’s maiden professional loss against Tony Harrison

Jermell Charlo has won a total of 35 fights, while 19 of them came off by a knockout. So, he’s been dominant for a major part of his career, except for one fight where Charlo was thrown off his game and lost it on the scorecards against Tony Harrison. He even lost his WBC title in this bout. The fight happened back in 2018, at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn.

At first, the fight was predicted to be in the favor of Charlo, but Harrison was able to sneak a unanimous decision victory under the nose of the fans. The fight was quite close, and some even believe that Charlo won the fight as he outpunched Harrison in the fight. Charlo threw 168 strikes out of the total 548 punches attempted, which leaves him at the 29% precision mark. While, Harrison threw 128 out of 377 strikes, which gets him the 33% of precision.

Hence, the bout was declared in favor of Harrison. In the rematch, Charlo didn’t let the decision go to the judges, and took the matter into his own hands, as he knocked out ‘Super Bad’ in the 11th round. Besides this loss, not long ago, Charlo was also involved in a controversial draw decision.

Jermell Charlo’s controversial draw against Brian Castano

This fight had a lot of aficionados left with a question, as a few in the boisterous crowd at the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas thought that Jermell Charlo and Brian Castano would be able to sustain the entire 12 rounds against each other. In the first round, Charlo tagged Castano, which made his opponent wobble on the canvas. While in the second round, Castano answered back to the Lafayette-born orthodox boxer where he had him pinned to the ropes and nearly finished the boxer.

But the high-octane war had both the fighters trading volleys of punches in the entirety of the contest. By the end, nobody was able to deliver a knockout blow to their adversary, and hence the bout was declared a draw by a split decision. Both fighters gave their statements in disbelief at such a decision, as both of them believed to be crowned as the sixth undisputed champion of the sport in 2021.

But it didn’t happen, and Charlo retained his IBF, WBA, and WBC titles, while Castano took his WBO title home. However, in their much-anticipated rematch, Canelo Alvarez’s opponent again didn’t let the fight go the distance. He ended it with a 10th-round knockout. Hence, becoming the Undisputed Champion in the super welterweight division. After his magnanimous victory, he even answered back to all the doubters. Notably, during his amateur career, Charlo was quite as dominant as he was when he became a pro.
