Sky are a biased lot too here in the UK but they at least give a good blow by blow commentary through the fight consistently rather than just ramble about something other than the fight.

Jacobs is a damn good fighter but they were trying to turn him into superman when he was having trouble and getting hit a lot. He did not look nearly as good as he did when he lost a close fight to GGG. Jacobs clearly won but not as easily as they were saying. Jacobs had an average performance and they went way overboard praising his skills and obviously trying to make him their next big star.

It was a close fight in reality but not that close of a fight on the cards, if you know what I mean. Biased commentary or not Danny was doing just a little bit more in most of the rounds. Plus the knockdown in the 12th.
It was a fairly easy UD to score.

I expect HBO boxing to completely cease to exist in the next 5 to 10 years, financially they're still surviving off the big money fights Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao were involved in but it doesn't seem like they have any plan or any funding to have a plan for their future. Showtime owns boxing now for the biggest part even Joshua is now on that side too. Such a shame that a network that carried boxing for so many years completely falls apart and almost ceases to exist in less than a 10 year span but when the networks have other more safe sources of money then they invest more in that. It is what it is.

Bias wasn’t much of an issue last night. Yes, Jacobs is the house fighter. But he outpaced his quality opponent to a clear decision and then threw on an exclamation point in the twelfth. The sky wasn’t falling, DJ wasn’t exposed, the sports books will install Jacobs as a favorite over Charlo. Relax.
