The fact this fight card was on network television, primetime, 3 good meaningful fights....this was awesome! Got to give Haymon and PBC props tonight, the production, commentating, minimal commercials was way better than that Canelo mismatch on DAZN last week.
I would rather watch Canelo slaughter a world rated 168 pound pretend champion in a mismatch than watch Jermall struggle with an unknown boxer boxrec ranks 54th in the world and nobody else ranks at all, DAZN has no commercials. None. I live in New Mexico and get all fox channels and they never showed the fight here. Thanks a lot PBC.
Yeah that heavyweight fight was a real meaningful fight. ive been waiting for that one for months on end.
Lol. I was thinking 3 meaningful fights? Even jermall fought an inactive 35 yr old guy who was nowhere in the rankings. It was only “meaningful” cuz it turned into a tough fight.
I enjoyed the fights tonight. Great to have this on tv again. I have no complaints with PBC. Most, if not all the fights that I've watched on tv this year have been PBC fights. Give me more!
The first fight was a crappy decision and the 119-108 scorecard for the second fight was ridiculous but that doesn't change the fact that we got to see some good fights on live tv.
Well we would of found out had the Monroe fight happened, last minute replacement and brother getting robbed surely affected his performance
I think his brother losing had more of an effect than him fighting Korobov honestly.
He looked off from the get go. I dont think they should fight on the same cards anymore. Instead of mentally preparing for their fight, one will always be watching the other before they get in the ring.
Was a Good LONG DAY of fights all around including the British fights! Charlo Brothers got humbled a bit, nothing wrong with some Humility, it could also make them better fighters.
But yeah good coverage from Fox overall I thought, nothing to complain about, Announcers could be a bit more Partial particularly Joe Goossen who is a good analyst but I thought was a bit Bias to the Charlo Brothers.
Strong Show but fans actually do want to see Undercard Fights, I wanted to see Efe Ajagba, they need to show those fights somewhere either on FS1 or FS2 or something
Step Up the fights though, put some bigger fights on Fox, these on Paper was suppose to be mismatches. End up being decent fights because of Negron, Tony Harrison and Matt Korobov made things interesting.
If you're as good as Charlo supposed to be, you may start off slow then adjust and win easily. The guy hasn't really fought in years and especially not against anyone good then he jumps in with someone who supposed to be A level and pushes him hard for 12 rounds.
I thought Charlo won 8-4 or 7-5 against Korobov so no arguments on the decision from me but I just dont think he can fight southpaws, period. Trout made him look average as well. The 154 Charlo is a better fighter by far IMO but he loads up way too much for the KO.

Thank you Haymon for giving us Hurd vs Charlo.... oh wait!
Thank you PBC for putting on a heavyweight classic in Breazeale vs Negron!
Thank you for robbing Jermell Charlo the win and gifting Jermall Charlo the win!
Shout out to Lennox Lewis with the great and deep thorough analysis and the commentary for being so fair and unbiased!
Great way to end the year!
Take it up with Lennox Lewis but from what I saw Sugar Ray didn't do any better on DAZN
Of course, both are terrible and that was the point of my thread that I made in that networks continue going after big names but not quality commentators.
Do you think when you been training for one guy and then get a last minute replacement that that won't throw your game plan off?
Especially if the replacement is a crafty Russian fighter with an extensive amateur career?

They can't use that crew, as they are signed to SHO/CBS. FOX is a totally different network.
Albert and Goosen are fine, but Lennox is as bad as I once remembered him on the mic. This guy is full of cliches and provides very little. I made a thread when it was announced he was going to get the gig that it was a terrible move and networks needs to stop going after big names and get legitimate fighters who are good on the mic. FOX desperately needs to make a move for RJJ.

Korobov is 35 and inactive as fk. That was considered a cakewalk my man. Harrison is a good fighter though who usually fades late in fights so that's not a terrible matchup IMO.
Fielding is a bum, and I said as much when the fight aired. If Canelo vs fielding ended up being a great fight would a big thanks be appropriate for DAZN? Proabbaly not, just would have meant that Canelo S H I T his pants that night. Charlos just didnt look impressive tonight is all. And come on, the heavyweight fight was 2 second or 3rd tier dudes with T I T S* slugging it out like bar room brawlers.

Fox have got to get better commentators. They all were way to biased and sounded bored all night.
Get the Showtime crew to do all PBC fights.

What was so cake walk about these opponents? I didn't see anything as soft as Rocky Fielding in the ring tonight!!

I agree. As a fan you got what you wanted.
I knew the Harrison vs. Charlo fight would be competitive. Harrison has always been an underachiever/Buster Douglas type. Talented, but lacked heart late in fights and would fade. He stuck to his gameplan and had a nice fight.
The Korobov vs. Mall fight surprised me. I respected Korobov and his ability, but the reality is that he had never shown his true potential. He had a great amateur career. But was a complete disappointment as a pro. He looked like the fighter we all thought he would be.
Overall he was a very good replacement for Monroe.
In the end, we got two competitive fights.
Fox have got to get better commentators. They all were way to biased and sounded bored all night.
Get the Showtime crew to do all PBC fights.
They do, do PBC fights
These were supposed to be cake walk fights.
In your mind, I guess you think boxing is easy, and like I said I didn't see Rocky Fielding in the ring tonight, I saw opponents trying to win.
