Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2016-05-21, fight not particularly good between Jermell Charlo and John Jackson: it gets two stars.The undefeated Jermell Charlo entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 27-0-0 (12 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.2 super welterweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Erislandy Lara). He fought twice last year defeating Vanes Martirosyan (=Charlo vs Martirosyan) and Joachim Alcine (=Charlo vs Alcine).
His opponent, John Jackson, has an official record of 20-2-0 (15 KOs=75%) and he entered as the No.21 in the same weight class. He suffered his last loss when he faced Andy Lee in 2014 (=Lee vs Jackson), after this bout he has won over Carlos Adan Jerez and Dennis Laurente. Charlo vs Jackson is valid for the vacant WBC World super welterweight title; undercard of Erislandy Lara vs Vanes Martirosyan 2. Watch the video and rate this fight!

This is why the should bring back the standing 8-count rules in my opinion. I would like to see a rematch.
agree
I think this was an awful, awful decision by the ref! Something was into the eye of Jackson, he was in no way hampered by a punch. What a shame
