Only watched the quick highlights of that one mate. From what I saw it looked like Charlo deserved the nod, but it wasn't an easy fight. Koborov seemed to be landing quite a few straight lefts. I've not actually seen any full fights of the Charlos yet, I've just been keeping an eye on them if you know what I mean. I'm not sure if they're over hyped yet. I think the middleweight one seems to be maybe the better of the two. Obviously the 154 one lost, and it looked like Harrison was outboxing him at times and deserved the win. Again I only saw highlights.
Why what did you think of the Koborov fight?

Yeah I haven't seen a ton of them myself, but it seems like whenever either twin steps up in competition, he goes 12 hard rounds against a good, but not great, fighter. So I am not really sold on either one.

I thought it was very close. I watched on replay and I think I had it a draw. Korobov landing the cleaner shots and looking the better boxer, Charlo the bigger stronger guy who was dictating the fight mostly. Max 7-5 either way. No real problem with Charlo winning. Korobov is a pretty slick boxer so I enjoyed watching him some.

I was interested in your thoughts on that one since you had some good insights on righty vs lefty. Nice to see someone post on here who knows what they are talking about! lol
