Jermall Charlo (USA) vs Dennis Hogan (Ireland) | Boxing Fight Highlights

Good evening, Dennis. Good evening, Jamal. Gentlemen, you both know the rules. Obey my commands and protect yourself at all times. Please touch gloves now. Come on, fighting at the bell. But what Hogan lacks in power, he makes up for in grit, determination, hustle, and hunger. Ronnie Shields and Jamal Charles said they would like to up the volume of his punches a little bit. He averages 47. Turo Sandoval, the great trumpeter, and, you know, the analogy is to Dennis Hogan. He is like a jazz artist in the way he attacks. And I'll follow your point. You know, this is why Ronnie Shields' instructions to Hogan changes range. He changes distance so often and so well that you have to almost have a patient approach to try to find your range with a really good punch. So it's going to affect your output. And here we have Hogan with a good contingent of fans who made the trip again. He was born, raised in Ireland, but now lives in Australia. Charlo who had a successful homecoming against Brandon Adams in his last fight just ate a left hook from Hogan with less than a minute left here in the first round. You know, Charlo tried a counter left as he was coming in. One of the things you're going to look for is how well Charlo can counter Hogan when he does make those forays inside. Hogan went upstairs along the ropes with that chopping right under 30 seconds left here in the opening round, and Hogan again for the undefeated belt holder Charlo, and Hogan doing just that here in the first three minutes. Charlo with the right hand, and here in round two, Charlo gets backed up momentarily, but you heard Ronnie Shields in the corner imploring him to start throwing punches everywhere, targeting the body like he just did with the jab. Tony, Hogan's left hook is really active. I know Charlo catches a lot of shots on the gloves, but Hogan's finding at least a target there. Jaime Magalhaes landed. Last December, landed 119 punches on Charlo, the most that any opponent has landed on Charlo, according to CompuBox. Charlo knocked out J-Rock Williams with that punch. Pounds and a shout-out to Steven Bredman Edwards in that weekly mailbag that he does. He's great, and J-Rock Williams has done a great job bouncing back to become a champion. Hogan's sweeping left hook has probably landed more often. Oh, nice combination by Hogan. And now Charlo unloading on Hogan, and he has never really seriously been hurt, has been down once back in 2012 for an electrifying atmosphere here as this main event heats up. Nice right hand to the body by Charlo that puts Hogan kind of sideways. I think Hogan just threw himself in there. Stiff jab by Charlo, and that jab is his calling card as well. Hogan's done well so far, but you can see Charlo slowly... At 6 feet tall, Charlo with that height and reach to embark on round number 3 in this middleweight title fight. It's hard to cut the ring off against Hogan. People have a hard time doing that. He moves one way, then with the other, and he's just... You can cut him off. You'll eventually get to him. When a guy keeps you off balance as he's moving and punching, it kind of disrupts... Oh, it hurts by Hogan. It disrupts your ability to... Hogan coming to the Big Apple with plenty of confidence, telling us that he's going to paint the town green in New York tonight and tomorrow. A more of a weapon to him than I would have thought. I would have thought the overhand blade... There's a left hook by Charlo. And Hogan stabbing Charlo in the midsection with the jab. Collecting that data, just misses with a sweeping left hook, moves to the side, and there's a right uppercut by the champ. He has not been able to really be as effective, I think, with that punch as he would like. There's a right hand to the body by Charlo. Yeah, and that's some of that investment to the body that we talked about that would be important early, and there's the jab from Charlo, so... Eight both have been very successful. Of course, Jermell looking to avenge his loss to Tony Harrison later this month. There's Charlo. Series of... And one of the things Charlo can do in this fight to be effective is... Yeah, his throw combinations. Those are dangerous uppercuts, Charlo. Yep. And Charlo picking off Hogan again with that short left hook. A self-inflicted injury, and it was a TKO for Charles Morton, who only won the IBF heavyweight title. Oh, and then for the second time in his career, and Charlo now on a seek-and-destroy mission here in round number four. Sweeping left, the right hand finds its target, left hook to the body right by Charlo. Hogan trying to regroup, avoiding that sweeping right, so Hogan now smiling at Charlo. And, of course, that knockdown came early in this round, so a lot of time for Dennis Hogan. Ball right cross clips the job, Hogan. Charlo just misses with the right uppercut. Sharp and fast. Jamal Charlo dropping Dennis Hogan just 12 seconds into the frame. The best round of the fight for Jamal Charlo, and Hogan now trying to find a way to just using lateral movement like you allude to, Al, but it's Charlo picking him off. You see Hogan able to land the Aikido shot right there, straight right, a few seconds ago, but it's not deterring Charlo's pressure. If you're Hogan, you need some sort of sharp jab or something to keep Charlo off of you if you're going to move like this. Charlo chopping right hand. Charlo told us shots will come from everywhere, and that is kind of what's happening in this round. Right hand from Hogan. Final 10 seconds of the fourth, as we illustrated in that, showing why he is a 160-pound title holder. And again, pushes Hogan back with a left. And another left uppercut. I'm sorry, Al. In addition to that knockdown, Charlo landed a fight-high 22 punches during the show stand in round four, so in addition to the knockdown. The names that include Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Roberto Duran, Miguel Cotto, Oscar De La Hoya, Felix Trinidad, Mike McCollum, so... A good left took a moment ago by Charlo. There's Hogan landing the right. If he would have a consistent jab that would be sharp enough, he could slow down the pressure of Charlo. It's not saving your energy. A consistent jab will allow you... Oh, there's a left hand that catches Hogan. Just misses Hogan a lot of times when Hogan is circling to his left with that jab. That would be able to time him a little better. Hogan looking to draw inspiration from Irish boxing greats that include Hall of Famers Jimmy McLernan and Barry McGuigan, while the current crop includes Carl Frampton and Katie Taylor as Charlo. But I think it's safe to say Charlo's punches have been harder and more... Oh, right hand lands for Charlo. That was set up because he put Hogan in a position with the jab on the end of the spin. Right, short right to the body by Charlo as Hogan lunged in. Hogan was down 12 seconds into round 4, and we are headed, and it has served him well. You know, Hogan's been busy tonight, averaging 69 punches a round. Oh, and off balance as Hogan caught Charlo with a left. Averaging 69 punches a round as opposed to normally throwing around 40. Jab to the midsection. Right uppercut just mentions Hogan again, just smothering. And in that case, he held. Nice right hand lands for Charlo. Sharp jab by Charlo. Yeah, Charlo won a 154-pound title with a stoppage win of Cornelius, then moved up to 160. There's no law that says you have to tell the exact truth to the court. This is the ring of truth. This is where you find out the truth about who you are and who Hogan is. He's down for the third time in his career. Six, seven, eight. Walk to me. Step to me. No. And for the first time in his career, Dennis Hogan has been stopped. Jamal Charlo is 30 and 0 with 22 KOs.
