    The card was all around ****ing terrible. The most biased team i've ever heard and corrupt judges. A ****ing disgrace to end the year.

      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.
      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?

        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.
        Take it up with Lennox Lewis but from what I saw Sugar Ray didn't do any better on DAZN

          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.

            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.

              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!

                Well we would of found out had the Monroe fight happened, last minute replacement and brother getting robbed surely affected his performance

                  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.

                    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.

                      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.
