Charles displayed smart, consistent boxing against Coley Wallace, moving behind hooks from an unusual crouch to negate Wallace's reach and height, while Wallace nonetheless showed potential for a championship run in the future. Charles’ impending rematch with Nino Valdes or a similar challenger is discussed as the likely February date, with optimism for his return to form and a possible title shot in sight.
