Wow. What a weekend for the sport of boxing.
The Charlo brothers fight card more than delivered live on Showtime all things considering.
Hat tip to Josh Taylor who scored an impressive win too but the weekend surely belongs to the Charlo brothers who really announced themselves in some ways.
Middleweight champion Jermall coming through a tough but highly entertaining battle to defend his title on points.
Then, his twin brother Jermell leaving the best to the main event with a sublime body shot knockout:
Perhaps one of the best double jabs and perfectly placed body shot stoppages you are likely to see.
Going up stairs to quickly distract his opponent before delivering the decisive blow downstairs to the bread basket.
Very good.
The punch saw him become a unified three belt champion in the super-welterweight division.
Things are really moving for the Charlo brothers now, all be it in a challenging time for sports and indeed the wider world.
Alas, Jermell Charlo showed himself to be a class act in this regard post fight live on Showtime:
In an uncertain time for boxing and all sports the Charlo brothers added more certainty to their professional fight journeys this weekend.
Really establishing themselves at this time.
Moreover, more importantly, showing themselves as exemplary sportsmen and gentlemen this time after their fights.
Particularly impressive message from Jermell Charlo above for people around the wider world currently.
Consequently, showing boxing in an excellent light this weekend it has to be said.
The show and the fight goes on.
Good weekend of boxing.
