    11-1 you say?........course we all know that ain’t a mistake.The only possible way forward imo would be to sack all these judges that have made such obvious calls,right you now you could pick three members of public to do a better job.

    Korobov won that. Granted he gassed in the second half of the fight but everyone who's followed his career knows that he's always had problems with his stamina and he was training for an 8 rounder against a journeyman who was 1-4 in their last 5 fights so it didn't exactly come as a surprise when he did so. And obviously he's only fought once in 25 months and been fighting scrubs and journeymen in 6 and 8 rounders since the Andy Lee fight. The commentary was very biased.

    He's got a hell of a chin on him though and great powers of recovery. Andy Lee caught him with his pet right hook mid exchange which is a devastating weapon and although Korobov was badly hurt he still didn't go down even after Lee teed-off on him with a series of at least 10 shots. Funny thing is Korobov didn't appear anymore hurt after shipping them than he had been by the right hook that initially hurt him.

    And he walked into a huge right hand counter in the fight against Badou Jack conqueror Derek Edwards after he got careless looking for the finish after he hurt Edwards. He was out on his feet in that one but as we saw again tonight even if you catch and hurt him with a big shot (s) he won't go down. In fact, I don't think he's ever been off his feet and if he has I certainly haven't seen or heard about it.

    Korobov 8-4 or 7-5. The Commentators sucked. Totally pathetic. Here was a 35 year old who hadn't fought in a year and a half, come out and really give Charlo a boxing lesson. All I heard was those clowns going down on Charlo... Disgusting. PBC sucks.

    CLEARLY Korobov. CLEARLY. Charlo may edged one or two of those close rounds but he almost landed nothing in the other rounds. He looked spectacular but he was quite ineffective. Like his brother who also deserved to lose and lost fair and square thankfully.

    I had Korobov winnig 9-3. 8-4 and maybe 7-5 was okay too but there is no way Charlo won that fight. Korobov edged the first five rounds easily. Charlo landed NOTHING. From that he was jabbing more and Korobov was on the backfoot but countering well, defending well and still landing right hands and especially left hands.

    I would like to see the punch stats for that one...sb have?

    It stinks because you know if both fighters were swapped Charlo would win just as clearly as he actually did. The bout was very close indeed.

    Korobov imo but it was a close fight, like the Harrison won. Both were either man type affairs imo.

    I had 7-5 to Korobov, I think Korobov deserves an immediate rematch. It was closeish but Korobov did the better cleaner work throughout the fight.

    What's funny jackass? You know what's really funny is anytime the guy people like you like don't win a close fight you cry and call it a robbery. Where was your outrage for the charlo-Harrison fight? I picked charlo to beat harrison and scored it for charlo but he didnt get the decision. Did i cry robbery hell no it was a close fight he didnt get the win move on
    I hope charlo learns and comes back stronger. Thats the difference between me and agenda driven trolls cry babies like you. A close fight doesnt mean a robbery just because the fighter you like more didnt get the nod.

    Explain the 119-109 card or whatever ridiculous thing it was? Why does this stuff keep happening when you fight a house fighter in America?

    They weren’t even trying to hide it, just flat out biasedness.
