Hearn: Jermall Charlo Needs To Be Careful About Becoming Complacent; May End Up Like Crawford

Promoter Eddie Hearn thinks that the Juan Macias Montiel fight should be a wake up call for Jermall Charlo. The Houston-based WBC middleweight champion was last seen in the ring a few weeks ago recording a wide unanimous decision over Montiel, a Mexican journeyman. It was a more competitive fight, however, than the scorecards indicated. Montiel kept coming forward all night and, on several occasions, landed some eye-catching combinations. Indeed, Charlo was nursing a fairly swollen right eye after the fight.
