Three of a Kind is a Winner

Saturday night the Charlo brothers and Erislandy Lara paraded their talents for all to see at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Chelsea Ballroom, Las Vegas, NV. Their fights begged for attention. After all, they were being displayed by Showtime as three of the best junior middleweights in boxing, and they were facing very tough opponents.

Jermell was first, and there were serious doubts about whether he was going to measure up. John “Dah Rock” Jackson, (20-3-0, 15KO) son of fearsome puncher Julian Jackson, surprised Jermell “Iron Man” Charlo (28-0-0, 12KO) by boxing instead of slugging.

Showtime Triple Header Preview: It May Not Be A Hell Of A Card, But it’s Still Really Good

Showtime Triple Header Preview: It May Not Be A Hell Of A Card, But it's Still Really Good

One of the best known quotes in A.J. Liebling’s immortal “The Sweet Science” concerned a tough, tricky welterweight contender from the 1950’s named Billy Graham, whom he famously described as being “as good a fighter as one possibly can be without being a hell of a fighter.”

These words have resonated with me ever since I first read them, for they serve as the perfect way to characterize those boxers who lack any one outstanding attribute yet are still capable of achieving success in the ring. For me, those are the fighters who are most compelling. It always intrigues me to watch fighters who rely upon their intangibles like grit, guile, and ring generalship to win fights; and it always captures my attention when these types of boxers are pitted against those who are talented enough to be considered “a hell of a fighter”.

Jermell Charlo/Joachim Alcine Tonight In Houston

Unbeaten fighting twin, Jermell Charlo (26-0, 11ko) clashes with 39 year old veteran, Joachim Alcine (35-7-2, 21ko) in his home state of Texas tonight, promising that he will knock his Canadian opponent out, en route to emulating twin brother Jermall, by capturing a world title.

Charlo saw one potential opportunity for a world title fall apart a year ago when then [WBO] belt holder, Demetrius Andrade, pulled out of fighting him before eventually being stripped, and has since seen his older brother (by just 1 minute) capture IBF 154 lb honours by making short work of former champ, Cornelius Bundrage last month in Connecticut, stopping his man in 3.
