Jermell Charlo Brutalizes Jeison Rosario, Claims WBA/IBF/WBC Super Welter World Titles


PhilBoxing.com




In spectacular counter-punching display, Jermell Charlo dropped and ravaged tough Jeison "Banana" Rosario in eight rounds to become the unified WBA/IBF/WBC Super Welterweight World Champion tonight at the Mohegan Sun Resort in Connecticut, USA.

Jermell Charlo, 30, whose twin brother Jermall also won his world title fight tonight, knocked down the coming-forward Dominican Republic fighter in chapters one, six and eight, totally ending him damaged on the ropes at the 21 second mark of round eight.

Fantastic fighting display from Jermell Charlo (34-1, 18 KO’s) who showed absolute power as well as boxing skills, live on Showtime PPV.



Jermell issued the following statement after the fight:

“I definitely proved that I’m more than just a puncher, but I also showed again that I’m a big puncher. I’d give myself an A tonight. I stuck to my game plan and listened to my coach. Everything we did in camp, I used it in this fight. I pushed myself the whole way through training camp. It’s been a journey for me. I’m bringing the straps home to my family like they told me to.

“I knew that he was going to keep coming after the first knockdown. He kept pressing for four or five rounds until I floored him again. I’m growing and learning that the knockout just comes. I know that I have explosive power in both hands. I utilized my jab more than any other punch in this fight and that’s what got me these straps.

“Rosario hits hard, but if you have to know how to wear a fighter down. That’s how you take the power out of him.

“I think some of the previous punches I landed hurt him before the jab. The body shot that landed just hit the right point. I wish him well. I give any man who steps into the ring respect. I hope he recovers and bounces back.

“It’s Lions Only forever. We’ve been doing this for a long time. Dreams do come true. This is a part of my dream and a part of my destiny. I’m satisfied and I’m happy.

“I know right now that I’m going to talk with the sanctioning bodies and see what’s next. I’m holding the crown. I’m the king. We’ll see what’s next.”

The show, which included another 4 world title battles, was promoted by Premier Boxing Champions.
