Charlo to defend against Hogan Dec 7

Undefeated WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (29-0, 21 KOs) will defend his title against Dennis Hogan (28-2-1, 7 KOs) on December 7 from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Showtime will televise.

Charlo will be making his second defense against volume puncher Hogan, who gave WBO jr middleweight champion Jaime Munguia all he could handle in a majority decision loss in April.

  • If any of those Charlo boys would lose any of their power, I guarantee you their career would be short-lived. Both brothers have decent boxing skills, but nothing outstanding. That freakish power is what makes them a wild card in the deck. However, their basic predictable trash talking mouths is enough for me to put them on the same level as Broner.

  • The outrage is necessary… They need to be held to the fire just as Golovkin or anyone else.. Especially since they talk so much trash then go fighting bums.

    • Except that Golovkin has fought the very best at middleweight while Charlo hasn’t fought a single significant fight at 160 lb.

  • Hogan is not a bum, and he was a middleweight from the start of his career to early 2014. He was 18-0-1 (7 KOs) from the start of his career to mid 2014. Hogan’s first 19 fights were against a lot of journeymen with losing records. Only 6 of those first 19 had more wins than losses. Hogan is 10-2 (0 KOs) for all of his jr middleweight fights (and Sam Colomban even was KO’d by Jeff Horn at 147, and Hogan couldn’t stop him at 154, though Horn used to be able to bum-rush guys sometimes and stop them quick). But most people say Hogan beat Munguia, so that is either a fight not to view, or really a win. So he is 10-1 or 11-1 at junior middle. But with no KOs since 2014, I can’t see how he can beat Charlo.

  • Looks like Charlo is fighting ANOTHER small guy.. this is Cherry picking at its finest. Good job Charlo. U can beat this guy too and be soooooo very proud of yourself. Not quite sure why he won’t fight Andrade.. their both equally boring. That wld have made a great boring fight BUT at least we wld only have to hear 1 of them say their being avoided still cuz their undefeated lmao

  • Someone pick a snoozer for Charlo, I almost lost my sympathy for him not getting the big fights, then he goes and fights a dude that will not warrant any arguments that he deserves a shot at the big boys.

    • I too am tired of seeing Mall Charlo in with #21 contenders. Time for him to step up and stand out like he was supposed to do a long time ago. What about versus Jacobs, Saunders, or Limeaux? Let’s protest! We reject this fight.

  • Charlo hiding out on nondescript PBC shows against safe opponents while he and his delusional fans claim that the elite at 160 are ducking him. Casuals are so funny šŸ™‚

    • Chris: AGREED!! Your absolutely right!!
      this dude has plenty of options but doesn’t take any chances. I wld put money that after this fight he still calls out Canelo or GGG lmao. U gotta build up before u get the big shot. Hes gonna have 20 solid defenses fighting nobodies lol

  • It really is time for the Charlo brothers to improve the quality of opposition and start fighting some of the bigger names. This is not good enough.

  • they need to mix it up with some better known fighters !Jacobs,Lara,andrade,saunders.then ask for the big boys.Canelo ,GGG
