    Decent enough fights, but not what the Charlos should be facing. Standard PBC fare; good but not great.

    I probably am being pretty nice.

    Monroe and Thompson are both decent fighters but both are a solid step below the champions. This card is set up to showcase the Charlos on national TV, not to move the needle in either division.

    BS fights.

    I thought the Charlos were lions. They should be fighting the Canelos & GGGs of the world. Not someone's leftovers.

    It’s a good fight for Charlo to see where his skills are at. It makes sense from a bringing a guy along perspective.

    Yeah on the bright side they are facing top 15 guys and at least it’s activity. The Harrison fight should be fun because Harrison will box Jermells socks off till he catches a big shot and Monroe can really make fighters look bad although he doesn’t show much ambitions against the top names.

    I've never really rated Monroe so it's just sort of a meh fight. It's decent. But it isn't against one of those top 8 or so names at 160 therefore it leaves much to be desired. It won't change many opinions on Charlo no matter how positive the result is for him.
