Jermell and Jermall Charlo were both victorious tonight in Houston on the Morales vs Garcia undercard, as were Jamie Kavanagh and Lanard Lane. Here's a quick rundown of what's already gone down. Don't forget we've got live coverage of Morales vs Garcia and Kirkland vs Molina starting at 10 p.m. EDT.

Jermell Charlo KO-3 Chris Chatman

A very nice performance from Charlo, who controlled things from distance before blowing Chatman up with a right hand in the third round. Jermell (17-0, 8 KO) is the better of the twin brothers from Houston, or at least so it's believed right now, but they're 21 years old and relatively untested, so I guess that could change in time. Chatman (10-2-1, 5 KO) was no pushover for Demetrius Andrade in 2009 and can fight a little bit. This was a good win in a well-matched fight.

Jermall Charlo TKO-5 Sean Ryan Wilson

Reported as more of a beatdown than a competitive contest, the "other" Charlo improves to 9-0 (5 KO). Wilson falls to 7-4 (2 KO).

Lanard Lane TKO-8 Milton Ramos

Lane (13-1, 8 KO) is another Houston fighter, born in Philly, and a member of the Houston Fire Department. The last time he was in the ring was in 2010 against Mike Dallas Jr in a meeting of unbeaten prospects, which Dallas won by decision. Ramos is now 7-3-2 (0 KO) and loses his five-fight win streak.

Jamie Kavanagh TKO-5 Cesar Cisneros

Cisneros went down in the first round on a flash knockdown and was eventually stopped, but Kavanagh was bloodied as usual. Being part of the Wild Card and getting on TV a few times during "24/7" or the like, Kavanagh (9-0-1, 4 KO) has become more famous than his upside or talent really deserve. He's a gritty fighter and fun to watch, but anyone expecting him to graduate to title contention someday will probably be let down well before he gets there.

Once again, make sure you join us for live coverage of the Morales vs Garcia card on HBO, as well as Judah vs Paris on NBC Sports.
