The Charlo brothers got quite a bit cocky and arrogant in the last 2 years, specially Jermell. They kept talking about their own Lionsonly promotion and how they were capable to "run" everything in boxing.
Basically everyone thought Charlo would get the decision vs Harrison even though it was a close fight, but Charlo threw and landed more, was the aggressor and most importantly was the undefeated champion and the "bigger"/more popular fighter.
Suddenly the cards were read and Jermell lost by unanimous decision.
That was a huge wakup call and powermove by Al Haymon to remind the Charlos who the boss is and to humble them. It worked very well.
You could ask, why didnt Jermall lose to Korobov then? That fight was even closer and Jermall deserved to lose that fight. The Jermall fight was the last on the card and the message was already received with Jermells loss.
Secondly Jermall is more important to Haymon, because he competes at 160+ where he could possibly land huge fights vs Canelo, GGG etc, so a loss for Jermell isn't as detrimental, he fights in a division thats controlled by Haymon.
Also it shouldnt be too unclear why Haymon would prefer Harrison and not Korobov as the beneficiary.
So what does that mean for tonights fight? Both Charlos are, you could say, humbled. The message was received and they are still bigger names and more marketable than Harrison.
If the rematch tonight goes pretty similar to how the first fight went, Jermell Charlo will get the decision.
