VIDEO: Middleweight Champ Jermall Charlo Cracks Dennis Hogan With 7th-Round TKO
By Sam Dunn
Jermall Charlo entered Saturday night's fight festivities undefeated. And he's leaving undefeated. In Showtime's main event, the WBC middleweight champion of the world was in command end to end. He sent a strong message starting in Round 4, putting Hogan on the canvas with a slick left-handed uppercut.

Hogan's not used to being on his back. He gathered himself quickly, but the writing was on the wall.
Come Round 7, Charlo was ready to put this one on ice and send a shot across the bow of the rest of the 160-pound division.

One day, don't be surprised if Charlo is fighting Canelo Alvarez. At this rate, unification fights have got to be on the way given the ever-expanding brilliance of the 29-year-old's run.
