Charlo vs Derevyanchenko for WBC 160; Casimero vs Micah for WBO 118 on Saturday


PhilBoxing.com




Unbeaten slugger Jermall Charlo (30-0, 22 KO’s) defends his WBC middleweight world title against sought-after Ukrainian challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko (13-2, 10 KO’s) this Saturday, Sep 26 @ the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, USA.

Jermall Charlo and his twin brother Jermell Charlo will both defend their world titles in the star fights of the mega-evening of multiple world championships, an exciting night of boxing featuring 5 world title fights and no boxing fan wants to miss the thrilling action.

In one of the exciting battles, Pinoy warrior Johnriel Casimero (29-4, 20 KO’s) defends his WBO Bantamweight World Title against undefeated glory-hungry African brawler Duke Micah (24-0, 19 KO’s).



"Quadro Alas" Casimero comes from brilliantly stopping highly-regarded South African Zolani Tete in a sizzling victory in England while "The Baby Face Terminator" Duke Micah lands here after outclassing unheralded Puerto Rican Janiel Rivera in New York.

Not an easy war for either man, and their rumble might end up by knockout.

But the battle-tested Johnriel Casimero, 31, is far more experienced and I think more skilled than the hard-swinging Duke Micah, 29, born in Ghana, great magical land of legendary African fighters.

Could Micah do to Casimero what Zolani Tete could never do?

Will the result be another rewarding success for the ring-savvy Leyteño 3-division World Champion?

I think yes.



Saturday’s super show @ the Mohegan Sun is promoted by Premier Boxing Champion, televised live worldwide on Showtime PPV.

May the Best Men Win..!!
