Glad boxing is finally giving us fights we want
Who wants this fight? You? Speak for yourself. I, plus many others don't! Thousands of ppl wanted to see two legit 154 fighters Charlo vs Tsyzu. Instead, we got a 154lb boxer jumping 2 divisions chasing the dollar. He ain't getting my money. When he gets beaten he will get beaten again if he comes back to 154. He knows this too. This is the end for Jermell Hellno either way.
@@YoustabemweslabemYou mad bruh??😂😂😂
@@YoustabemweslabemYou are proof people will complain about everything.
@@reginaldhaynes9458 Not mad, frustrated. For me his statement is untrue, albeit it is his opinion. So many fights are not happening that need to happen. He must be getting paid to say stuff like that? Tszyu took two legit fights waiting for Charlo coz Charlo gave Tim his word they would fight. Liars only Charlo. 😅
Folks really want Canelo vs Benavidez
Much respect to you, Jermell. Definitely underrated. Rarely do we witness boxers still fighting for legacy. You are cut from a special cloth.
Please wake up none of these celebrities have any say in what happens it’s all controlled by secret organizations all these celebrities have to do what their handlers tell them to do or else they get shut down
Its a cash grab before he gets beaten by Tyzu. Mark my words his going to get KOed your craz6 if he thinks his going to win

@@crusoebower3391 mendoza a beast put some respect on his name
I have a newfound respect for Jermell. He looks and sounds focused and determined.
New found respect we all hope you respect a 4 belt 154 undisputed champion in one of the hardest weight classes in boxing
They all do, and then it's showtime and they disappear...
@@dmoe0074 it’s so funny how everybody always has a “new respect” for these fighters after seeing an interview lol
@kingme8815 I agree them the fans that have a favorite fighter but don't watch all fights just certain people there casual fans not boxing fans
I gotta say da same!!!! He won me over so I'm riding wit him!!!!!
Canelo is bringing the best out of Jermell, professionally and personally.
Good for him.
Excited for the fight and pleased with the respectful build up at least for this fight 🙌🏽
charlo is cool guy nelo bout to smoke his boots tho
Love this kid. Was part of his life growing up. He's always been hungry. Proud to see him where he's at if you've seen from where he has come. Stay hungry lion.
This is gonna be a good fight. Canelo is 1 of the best ever and Jermell is putting his big name against another top fighter. Boxing has been putting together some great matchups
I agree. Charlo's a good fighter. He's taking a big step here but he's a live dog
And Charlo has the bigger frame, height and reach.
But obviously Canelo can usually get through the longer range.. except for Bivol and Floyd obviously
Tank vs Garcia started this trend.
Boxers are no longer afraid to take an L like Mayweather was doing for most of his career. I’m glad that phase in boxing went away
@@themarathoncontinues2289He fought Oscar, Mosley, Zab, Maidana, Coto and Hatton I guess you have a point.
Let’s go Jermell end it 👊🏾
Jermell Charlo is looking very confident and super focused
..and still finna get smoked
@@MarkJackson-od3fiyou must be smoking
It's gonna be lights out
@@hooligan5381 nahh crack that way y’all talking
If Canelo losses this fight as usual we'll be hearing a bunch of excuses from the Canelo fanboys just like against Floyd and Dmitry 😂😂.
Stephen A the one who said Errol should retire , now he wanna blame it on teddy atlas 😂
The audacity 🙄
he’s a clown
😂😂😂😂
He sure did. Stephen A said it on first take that Monday morning
Stephen A asking questions that were prepped for him already 😂
I like seeing this side of the dude. Spoken with humility and humbleness. I think he got no chance against Canelo. But now I hope he does.
I think just the opposite. I believe if anyone can beat Canelo, it is Jermell. I know you want to see David vs Canelo but David needs to be fighting at a higher weight class. He is too big for 168. Jermell is perfect for 168
@@shawneiharris8469Let’s bet
@@shawneiharris8469Benavidez makes the weight perfect that’s all that matters
He gets more respect from being humble then acting up i like this charlo win or lose hes getting hus respect you have to dare to be great and take no one is handing greatness out for free regardless if he goes wins or lose and put his heart n gives a great fight his legacy grows
it will be closer than you think. both are 33yrs old, reflexes slowing down, i think both fighters will each alot of punches that will hurt them.
2023 for Boxing has been 🔥🔥🔥
Best year in a long time.
And also these are the type of fights that make the sport Unique and Amazing. Best Vs Best from diff weight classes. Dream match ups. Keep em coming👍
I’m glad boxing in America if finally getting the recognition that it deserves!
These fighters are finally on radio stations and tv shows doing interviews.
Love it!
I said the same ish
We getting the big fights now. That’s why
It’s always been like that, it’s just more frequent now because big fights are happening.
Yeah so true but they should be interviewed by people who actually kno about boxing not clowns like SAS
Finally???? You do know there is an amazing history of boxing in the US, right? 😂😂🤣🤣 Come off it, Mang 😂
Much Respect to Jermell Charlo he don’t duck no smoke
There was no smoke to duck at 154. It's a dead weight class right now.
he just wants pay day lol
He's never had smoke to duck. Look at his resume -- a bunch of no names for the most part.
@@legendstar3158 Correct, he needs at least one bag for retirement. He hasn't made much through his career to this point.
@@Powerule23 church🙏
I love his mindset
Can't wait for the fight. Going to be explosive.
It could be better than Bud vs Spence fight just saying.
and expensive
@@jonaGM4PUfree if you stream
@@MikeJay-on5ttit’s going to be better not one sided like Spence got out class
@@joedirt9300 Absolutely better like ppl still thinking Canelo Alvarez gonna beat Charlo easy like FOH,Charlo isn't Spence period and ppl better respect Charlo and his power coming into this fight.
Boxing is on fire!
As a huge Canelo fan, much Respect to Jermell 💯
Whatever studio they're in is nice. They should have more high-profile interviews there
Los Angeles
It’s a new studio genius
It's in burbank I believe. Multiple studios are in San Fernando Valley area. The 818
@@j-quiz292Shout-out to Van Nuys, Arleta, Pacoima, and Reseda!
I have to say the more interviews recently I see Jermell in the more I like the guy. No trash talk for the fight and I admire the respect he showed Canelo, buzzing for this fight
Locked in . THIS young man has tunnel vision rn. HERCULES wore a lion on his head and preserved through triumph showing fortitude and great strength 🦁💪🏾🦵🏾LETS GOOOO CHARLO !!!!!! 🇺🇸🥊
I like this throw back stuff fighters going to espn again. Keep this trend going 💯
As long as the big names are fighting it will thrive. Thank goodness Canelo is a free agent & able to work with different promoters
Charlo has matured a lot 💪🏽🔥
Jermell Charlo and his brother have been in my top ten favorite boxers for a long time now. Undisputed Champion is for real and he earned it. I no doubt about it believe Jermell can seriously win this fight legit! Can’t wait for this!☝🏼
Much Respect to Jermell, he don’t duck no smoke
He's never had any smoke to duck. Seriously, who has he fought?
@@Powerule23he’s undisputed…. You know what that means ? Just say your a casual
@@lin_6x579 Here we go with the casual nonsense. Who has he fought? Seriously. Who?
@@Powerule23castano , Harrison, Jackson, trout, Lubin when lubin was undefeated and dangerous. You’re just a casual that’s hating on jermell greatness
@@clolk5 Fam, there is nothing great about Charlo. He’s campaigned within a weak division for years.
Been one of my favorite fighters for awhile but man he has matured a lot!! Im rooting for you bro!!
The highly skilled boxers going toe to toe. Can’t wait! 🔥
That’s not happening because Charlo is getting stopped early
Canelo is not a good boxer. Go watch his fights against other truly skilled boxers. Dude looked like an amateur
@elinino5275 you obviously don't know anything about boxing! Canelo, is one of the most skilled boxers ever.
@@elinino5275 shut your mouth
@@isachayden9987skilled how? All he does is throws power punches...tell me exactly how he's highly skilled? Lol
Rooting for you Jermell‼️💯🥊
If you are dont bet no money 😂
@@Nano-ul1qfit's over for Canelo 😂
@@desotohybrid2175 Over will see the blind man said lol Jermell fin to get whooped
Need more of this from ESPN
Two great fighters
It’s crazy this man got to fight canelo to get his recognition
Facts! I always thought he was underrated
at 154 he didnt fight Jrock, jarret hurd, erislandy lara, canelo, andrade, jaime munguia or liam smith, tim tsyzu. Whether its politics or not, he never fought those guys at all. I give Jermell credit because he was the last man standing at 154 which is cool. But his resume weak, brian catasno and vanes martirosay at that time were the only credible opponents. Jeison Rosario i believe landed a lucky punch on j rock.
@@thehomiericky101he fought the champions and beat them and became the man undisputed!
@@thehomiericky101but he fought Lubin, Harrison, Castaño, Rosiario(wich beat JRock) now Canelo. Hurd was overweight and looking terrible and Lara wasnt hes mandatory. God bless you
@@thehomiericky101what are you talking about he fought all the champions and became undisputed 🤣
I love how the way Jermell answers the questions. Very articulate.
His answer on why he is doing this just made me a fan, definitely rooting for him
Best interview of the day one on one with Stephen A keep this format
Talked about Stephen A. This morning on Breakfast Club....then goes to First Take
He said nothing negative about him tho 🤷🏿♂️
He basically said Stephen A and everyone else out there has the right to their own opinion and that Stephen A sometimes knows what he's talking and sometimes he doesn't. It definitely wasn't anything negative towards Stephen A.
We need more of this attitude in boxing
Nothing better than encouragement
Jermell is more of a threat than i think most of the world thinks to Canelo. Jermell just needs to stay consistent and active especially heading towards the last few rounds and pick the pace up so that there ain't no doubt in the judges and win convincingly. But he needs to finish with a no huddle offense last 3 rounds.
Facts 💯
Facts...Alot of Mexicans think Canelo about to run through Jermell...they're about to be upset
Jermell a threat 😂 ... He getting brutalized and knocked out.
Jermell might have just caught canelo at the right time where jermell might just be a bit too much
That's a fact alot of people think it's going to be easy for Canelo 😂😂😂😂😂 he couldn't finish John Ryder This ain't John Ryder this is an whole different animal Jermell Charlo is really that guy
I love the Charlo twins. I like their sense of loyalty. Although I think Canelo might be a bit too much for him, I think he will show a good account of himself and make this fight close to call. He is very defensively responsible and waits for his moments. He has shown knockout power towards the end of fights. Canelo gets tired from round 9. This will be an interesting fight.
Recently Jermell been on a humble wave 👏 respect for that
Charlo don't let us down!! Be smart man be smart in that ring!!
..its win win for charlo..he the underdog, he aint expected to win, if he win, then he the A side for Crawford...
@@HolyRollerTVwhen he bests Canelo he's definitely the A side
Boxing BACK ON TOP!!!
Thanks to PBC 🥴
@@bhatch5680 don’t start that ish 😂

Go Jermell! We’re rooting for you my brother!
Isn’t it Jermall who’s fighting canelo? Lol espn got me confused
@@CG1224_where have u been?
Definitely watching this one
Much more Respect for Charlo. I always like this Charlo more but now i know hes seeking greatness not just a payday.
I believe Charlo is a natural 170er so him fighting at 168 isn’t a big adjustment
He walks around at 185
@@lilcourtny08 He’s a big dude we go see I’m going for Charlo
Only took Stephen A 20 seconds to screw up his boxing facts lol
LOL I missed it
Super welter/Jr middle, not welter champ
@@TyrantT316 yeah I was like what? Lol
He also said Jermall was undefeated at 168....true because he's never fought at 168😅
And Jermell is not a defensive fighter. He can throw hands with the best of them, but he's easy to hit.
Great interview, we be watching these athletes grow up on 📺! Charlo did a great interview
This is the fight I didn’t know I wanted to see!!!
Say what you want about Charlo. He is confident in himself and this is a good fight for boxing in general!
Jermell is making me want to root for him honestly. I might eff around and hop on the bandwagon
As someone who was in his gym before when i was 13, jermell is a humble honest hard working man and im so happy to see him doing nothing but big things he deserves it all , always giving advice to the young people and kids in the gym, This mans boxing gym was the reason i left the streets , good luck charlo nothing but love for you go represent Alief Houston 🔥
This is the Charlo I Respect.....Win or Lose Respect.
The man can barely express himself
This is his first time in the bright lights. Listen to his other interviews. He speaks well you cac
He expressed himself well, maybe it’s your own understanding 🤔🤔
He did well imo
💯💯
Stephen A Smith x Canelo interview! I need that !
I love the comeback that boxing has made!
You gotta love Charlo.. good talker and can sell a fight .. this is going to be a good one ..
Don't know much about this dude but he seems dope and smart
You don't know boxing, do you?
@@everettarmstrong3136 I'm a casual. I heard of him and his brother but time seeing him talk
Jermell Charlo is a bruiser hardworking tough physically specimen don't play with that man emotions 😮 🤎
Was it just me? Or did they repeat the same part of the video back to back?
i never seen him smile this much..i like him this way
Come on Jermell you can do this!!
him and bud is the real fight to see
boots bud is the real fight to see, we all know bud beats charlo
Boots hasn't fought anyone in the top 8. He's still got work to do.
@@poachedeggbagelz you don't even know boxing stfu, he fought the top 2 IBF his last fight
The real fight to see is Canelo vs David a real war
@@tonioruiz8350 canelo benavidez, boots bud, tank shakur I think these 3 fights will make boxing the best sport in the world again
Very well spoken young man.
why wouldnt he be well spoken..
@@HolyRollerTV why can’t I just give him a compliment without being questioned?
@@Sleeps23 why wouldnt he speak well though..its a normal thing to do...
Well spoken, like a true champion 💯
I really like the way he speaks - his confidence!
Charlo was willing to get stripped just to make this fight happen, big respect 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"am undisputed at 154!!! i already did that!!!👺" jermell is funny af🤣🤣🤣
If the dude boxed as much as he waggs his mouth he would be a billionaire already!
😂😂😂😂😂
This will be legendary
Proud of this dude
Charlo is on every show. Not used to seeing him interviewing this much . This is a huge fight, I’m glad people are talking now.
I’m not sure he will win but in an era where people wanna avoid fights he is man enough to go for the top boxer in the division I respect it
Respect
Been waiting on his fight for a couple years now its finally approaching
This is where we need max
Why? SAS was solid!
Glad boxers are giving us the fights we want
He a smart man’ nothing but respect’ canelo a savage and he acknowledge’ 🙏
Bless you brother 🙏 hope you win ❤️👍
Charlo cashing out! Easy Canelo win!
😂😂😂😂😂😂 stop the cap
This is gonna be a good fight, but Canelo is just a different breed. Canelo will show his dominance and ultimately win this fight.
🦁🦁🦁🦁 Only‼️
@@bhatch5680monkeys only
canelos been slowing down time catches up to u eventually
@@bhatch5680lying only you mean 😂😂😂
He's on the same level. Bivol showed us that.
Love some jermell, im rooting for you
Well spoken man 💯
It’s a win-win situation, though; he won’t lose his belt even if he loses. This is probably the best year for boxing fans.
Don’t forget he gets a giant payday when you fight Canelo.
@@anthonytobias5459 "win-win". Even if he loses.
So no one's gonna correct him on "welterweight" vs "super welterweight"?
Ha Stephen a knows nothing about boxing he just reads his cards
@@urdaddy6192ur right SAS really don't understand boxing. Just a casual fan.
Everybody makes mistakes. It’s not that deep. Just watch the video or don’t watch it,
@@ManiGotti Stephen A is that u ? LOL smh
Why does it need correcting we know what he meant...yall dudes be acting like yall never slip
Good points. Great convo. Canelo with the stoppage.
Lets go my guy 🔥🔥
Boxing is Coming Back To The Mainstream
I got Canelo Winning.
When he loses don't be mad Dallas cowboys fan 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Amb252 He’s not losing fasho.
This is what we been waiting on
I didn’t like Jermell @ first but I respect 🫡 him and his confidence. He handled & spoke well in this interview. Seems very sharp & humble. I don’t sense any fear or him being passive.
It’s interesting to note that even though this fight is billed (Undisputed Vs Undisputed) Canelo ain’t fighting for Mell’s belts because he’s a champ at 154 & they’re fighting at 168. Jermell is definitely fighting for Canelo’s belts tho… if Mell beats Canelo,he’ll become a two-time undisputed champ just like Crawfish. In fact, it’s almost the same exact scenario. I’m shocked more people ain’t talking about what’s at stake here 🤔
Not talking about it because it's a fantasy to think either charlo is gonna fare well against Saul Alvarez, he's gonna get chinned repeatedly by the 8th round, he never been ready for the kind of abuse he's gonna walk into against this guy. Nelo by knockout in 8 rounds
he got stripped by the wbo
@@statpadford yeah I heard that. Such a shame
Go Canelo! Viva La Raza!
Charlo best interview ever.
I hope charlo is ready for the fight of his life good luck 🙏
Finally Mell getting the shine he should have been getting definitely P4P
Jermell is fighting Canelo for money,I can hear Canelo fans but Jermell is naturally bigger.Jermell has never fault at 168 he will get knocked out early or stopped late.Jermell Charlo going up Two Weight Divisions and immediately fighting a World Champion is too much.Canelo has Benavidez at 168 and he is making smaller fighters come up in Weight 😂😂Canelo is running from 168 David Benavidez who is in his Division and he's running from Bivol.Canelo can beat up all these smaller fighters but he want get credit until he fights Benavidez and Bivol.
How is he running from Bivol? Thats all he been talking about since he lost to him. He wants him at 175 not 168.
@@Zeus-qz2yj Bivol embarrassed Canelo at 175 already and now he wants Canelo to put his belts on the line at 168 and Canelo is running🤣🤣
Canelo a blown up 154 fighter. He couldn't ko Lara.
Jermell you have great sportsmanship good luck to you
This Jermell i fw 🙏
I’m rooting for you brother
Stephan A. He wasn't undisputed at welterweight he was undisputed at junior middleweight. This dude makes us laugh every time he talks boxing
Jermell charlo always been that free smoke guy. He gives his respects like a great fighter.
Well spoken and smart
