    Does this mean we don’t have to hear “Feed him to Evil Twin Charlo “ anymore?

    Golovkin knocks both Charlos out cold in 8 rounds
    Jacobs decisions both 10-2

    Here we go. ^ This.

    Although maybe we are underestimating the role Korobov's talent played in making Charlo look beatable ;)

    Korobov is top class no question, his only loss came by the way of Fluke KO in my opinion but he is way past his best now and took the fight on 1 or 2 weeks notice and whooped Charlo

    I hope it gives Golovkin the balls to take the fight. Problem for him is, he isn't a southpaw with decent boxing ability, and Charlo will have a full camp to prepare, instead of two weeks or whatever it was to get ready for Korobov. Golovkin stylistically is an easier match up for Charlo. Charlo is a big boy, who can take some punishment seemingly. Both guys eat flush power shots from their opponents. It would be interesting to see whose chin folds first.

    No he isn't Charlo is a flawed yet very tough guy and GGG is past his prime. Charlos main problem is that he can't avoid the straight left, and GGG doesn't use that punch. It's a great fight and I take Charlo, although GGG would have beaten him 3 years ago.

    In his prime, I agree, GGG busts up Charlo, but at this stage I'm not so sure.

    Aww man please tell GGG to take this easy work because he’s definitely a slick awkward southpaw who has great foot speed.. He’s gonna be hitting Charlo with straight lefts all fight.. Haymon offered GGG 8 figures to fight Charlo let’s see if he take that easy money.. lol GGG didn’t even wanna fight Korobov during his reign for this very reason

    Trout and Korobov have something in common, they're both southpaws, they also have something in common with GGG, they're superior boxers with impeccable defense that are great at parrying punches. Charlo has a major weakness, he's a shitty boxer, who relies on his power. Time for Charlo to be taken to school from the orthodox position.

    head movement seems very unnatural for both Charlos. It's like they remember every now and then to move their heads or change levels but that seems to be when their opponents aren't throwing. GGG would have an easy night against those stationary targets. Also, I hope the Charlo's can see themselves clear to take those mandatory drug tests they missed recently.

    No fluke, Lee beat the dog ish out of him, not the only one Lee's right hand did that to.

    Korobov came with a great amateur reputation but has been an underwhelming 12 round fighter. That he beat Charlo on short notice speaks volumes as to the quality of Jermall.
