Fight Breakdown
This matchup presents an intriguing contrast in circumstances. Charlo, once one of the top middleweights in the world, has fought only twice since 2020 due to personal struggles and inactivity. His last bout was a unanimous decision win over Jose Benavidez Jr. in November 2023. LaManna, on the other hand, has been far more active, winning nine consecutive fights since his 2021 first-round knockout loss to Erislandy Lara. He enters this fight with momentum and hopes to capitalize on Charlo’s long layoff.
