Jermall Charlo vs Thomas LaManna Preview

The size difference in this one will be obvious the second they touch gloves. A fully rehydrated Jermall Charlo will dwarf Thomas ‘Cornflake’ LaManna, who’ll look like a guy who wandered in from the welterweight undercard and took a wrong turn into the main event.

LaManna, 33, is a classic tough Jersey kid—heart, chin, and just enough skill to make things interesting before reality sets in. He does everything adequately, but nothing that keeps opponents up at night. His best weapons? A big heart and a long reach. Neither of which tends to matter much when the other guy is faster, stronger, and better in just about every category that counts.

Charlo, 35, once had the look of a star—but these days he fights like a man more familiar with the bottle than the gym. Just three fights since 2020, and none were compelling. The whispers about alcoholism aren’t whispers anymore. They’re shouted by his inactivity, his inconsistency, and the faded sharpness that used to separate him from the rest.

“Cornflake” is likely to get turned into toasted oats in this one, with Charlo’s power and aggression proving too much for his smaller, hittable opponent. Charlo, desperate for a payday, will throw everything he has into this fight in hopes of landing a bigger one against Caleb Plant.
