    How did you score the fight?

    Who should have won?

    The Compubox punch stats were wrong, whoever was counting the punches was obviously biased in favor of Charlo.

    I thought Korobov deserved to win by wide decision. The 119-108 scorecard was probably the very worst of 2018, although there have been a lot of terrible ones.

    But all three scorecards were very bad. Korobov clearly out-boxed Charlo in most of the rounds, he should should have won 117-111 or at the closest 116-112.

    Korobov won that fight. These judges with their horrendous scores need to be banned from the sport.

    Lol so Matt lands some nice lefts (no doubt) but I could only give him 4 clear rounds. Charlo won this clearly.

    Korobov by 2 or 3 rounds maybe, 12th round was obviously Charlo, but if Korobov was still standing he gets it.

    Draw. Matt faded down the stretch and allowed Charlo to catch up.

    I'm more disappointed in Charlo because of the overall circumstances of this fight.
    Korobov has been inactive for a year.
    Korobov is 35 at a time when guys like GGG are being called past prime.
    Korobov got this fight on 2 weeks notice.
    Korobov got off the couch , did 10 push ups, drank soup for 2 weeks to drain to 160, and still had enough to out fight, out maneuver, and time a 28 year old with 6 weeks to prepare.

    Thats where it gets tricky and thats where you get exposed for fighting soft touches. What was fighting Monroe gonna do for his career or abilities? Good Korobov did this to him because its time to straighten up. Now he has to reflect on the reality that an old man with top skill and moderate power worked him. What would Jacobs do? What would Golovkin do? What can Andrade do? BJS would be willing to fight a Charlo now.

    I am not a jc fan at all and I thought he was losing pretty clearly after 6 rounds but he pulled it out after the second half. I had him winning 7 rounds to 5 plus the extra point in rd 12 for big round

    I thought Korobov won this fight by 3 or 4 rounds. He was landing more consistently and more cleanly. Charlo won big in the 12th but I don't think I would have given Charlo a 10-8 round as Hazzard did. Ironically, I had Jermell winning his fight against Harrison 115-113, giving the last two rounds to Charlo, because I had the fight even after 10.

    9-3 korobov
    He got tagged real bad in the 12th but clearly schooled charlo. Charlo was just following him the whole fight and missing shots

    I had it for Korobov. No horse in the race going in to it.

    Draw is a stretch, but if you give Charlo every break, i could see it.

    The cards we actually got were straight trash.

    Jacobs vs Jermal needs to happen, 1 million dollars each.

    Korobov fought for the world title on one weeks notice & BEAT the supposed lion but got robbed Hazzard jr should be fired immediately for that 119-109 BS Ishe related to Adalaife Byrd ??
