    Re watched jermell vs harrison, jermell clearly won the fight its just harrison put up a way better fight than what people expected and stole a few rounds. Its like what they call "underdog bias", It should have been 7- 5 charlo. As far as jermall vs korobov it was a razor close fight, but you need to do your research on korobov, the guy beat usyk in the amateurs and was a hell of a talent. One of the best russian amateurs ever, not a bum just a guy that didn't fulfill his full potential as a pro and was an inactive 35 year old. Much more dangerous than willie monroe (even with roids).

    Beating Usyk in the amateurs when he was YOUNGER has no bearing now in pro boxing when hes older, and an inactive 35 year old who didnt live up to his potential.

    No. Harrison won. Korobov won. Both Charlos lost.

    harrison lost, korobov won. charlos need polish. i am not impressed with derrick james, his fighters look good offensively when things are going their way, but look lacking when they need to adapt to difficulties.

    Korobov had a two year run in the amateurs where he was untouchable but lost his form the final year before turning pro. He had chronic issues with his sinus' that affected his stamina and was never able to have the condition corrected medically. He was underwhel;ming as a pro showing limited power, punch selection and work rate. He was inactive and essentially semi retired when he got weight drained and offered the Charlo fight on 6 days notice.

    Who you call one of Russia's greatest amateurs is in effect one of Russia's greatest disappointments yet that old, retired, weight drained hyaena just got off his couch and tooled one of the sports young lions.

    Strong delusion. Isn’t it confirmed that Shawn porter beat Usyk in the amateurs? Forget the amateurs, there’s all sorts of results about I’m sure. The Charlos are overrated. The fights last Saturday were close and could have gone either way, which means korobov should have the most to complain about. Jermell Charlo is an idiot and thinks he has more ability than he does - jokes on him, it will cost him.

    The fights were close. Majority people here thought both brothers lost. Then again majority here dislike them.

    many of us already knew about Korobov. you left out that he has never went past ten, only fought bums for a few years. he is definitely still far better than Monroe. Monroe was a sitting duck.

    Agree with this. I thought the judges got both fights wrong.
