Originally posted on BoxingNews.com | Last updated Jun 1, 2025 9:49 AM ET

Jermall Charlo stopped Thomas LaManna in his debut at 168, as we look at how the fight played out.

Charlo had his first bout at super middleweight, as he moved up from 160. He entered the fight with a win over Jose Benavidez Jr. via a unanimous decision victory. However, that would happen in 2023, as Charlo’s career stalled. Charlo has said he wants to take on Caleb Plant and Canelo Alvarez, meaning it was vital he got the win. Although LaManna had stopped four out of his last five opponents, he was no match for Charlo.
