Jermall Charlo Confident in Conquering the Benavidez Brothers
Jermall Charlo, the formidable middleweight boxer, is ready for an exciting challenge as he prepares to face Jose Benavidez Jr. on November 25th, and he doesn't plan to stop there. Charlo recently expressed his intent to conquer not only Jose but also his brother, David, in the future.
However, the choice of opponent in Jose Benavidez Jr. has raised some eyebrows. Many believe that Jermall Charlo should be facing top-tier middleweights rather than an opponent perceived as a level below. If Charlo secures a dominant victory, critics argue that it won't earn him the credit he deserves, as Jose Benavidez Jr. has spent the majority of his career fighting at welterweight, a significantly lower weight class.
Despite these concerns, Charlo views this fight as a necessary tune-up after an extended layoff. During a recent virtual press conference, Charlo referred to Benavidez Jr. as a "scrub" who has struggled when stepping up against quality opposition throughout his career.
The bout with Benavidez Jr. is largely seen as a result of his brother David's popularity. Many believe that Jermall Charlo could have chosen a more fitting opponent from the 160 or 168-pound division to prepare for top-tier fighters. Nevertheless, Charlo remains focused on the task at hand.
The heated exchange between the two fighters during the press conference underscores the intense anticipation surrounding the match. While the fight with Jose Benavidez Jr. may have raised some questions, boxing fans are still eager to see what Jermall Charlo can bring to the ring.
With ambitious plans to not only overcome Jose but also target David Benavidez in the future, Jermall Charlo is ready to make his mark in the middleweight division, and the boxing world is watching closely to see if he can fulfill his promises in the ring.
