IBF super welterweight title holder Jermall Charlo (25-0, 19 KOs) scored a fifth round knockout over Philadelphian Julian Williams (22-1-1, 14 KOs) in his third defence of his championship on Saturday night at the Galen Center on the campus of USC in Los Angeles. Charlo hurt Williams frequently but dropped him in round two and twice in round five.. it's no secret that Charlo is struggling with the weight, and he could easily have passed on this fight to move up to 160, but he felt it necessary to prove a point to the very capable Williams who Charlo should have faced earlier in the year.. The time of the stoppage was 2:06.
NB.. Following the bout, Charlo refused an offer of an handshake from Williams in an ugly moment of bad sportsmanship, Charlo later attempted to approach Williams but was turned away.. Charlo did apologise and later call out Saul Alvarez, the 160 pound title holder..
