PBC on FOX 12/22: Jermall Charlo-Matt Korobov / Jermell Charlo-Tony Harrison (WBC 154 title)

[reservoirdogs]

Wouldn’t mind them running it back. Both of the Charlo fights.
They can be on the same card again.
Wasn’t much interest about either bout before Saturday but there will be now. Charlo vs Harrison will have a sequel either way and it would be good to see Charlo vs Korobov again with both preparing to each other this time. Jermall probably won’t get Canelo, GGG or Jacobs in the first half of 2019 anyway and it seems like Korobov is the best possible opponent for him in 160 who is available (with PBC).

they did Korobov dirty , my mans had been grinding for that chance for years only to get that title snatched from him

Here is the thing...I dont think lil Charlo beat Harrison actually. TBH Charlo didnt punish him or try to overwhelm Harrison enough because he got shook of the counters and jabs of Harrison. Its crazy Harrison didnt look he just fought for 12 rounds by the end

Harrison wasn't really throwing though. Damn near every time he threw a nice jab or caught Charlo with a counter, he wouldn't follow up on it at all.

[krackdagawd]

Just goes to show nobody cares or gives a fukk about Jacob's, Usyk, or Devsfsgchenko

Jacobs bout to fight Canelo

 

[reservoirdogs]

[reservoirdogs]

Finished w Harrison vs Charlo

Watched it on a Russian link

Actually had Harrison on rewatch 115-113

There were about 3-4 swing rounds so it could be Charlo as well but on 2nd watch it felt like Harrison largely outboxed Charlo who couldn't put together enough string of good minutes to win enough rounds. Charlo usually had 2-3 bigger flurries per round, in some rounds they connected in some they didn't but apart of those he mostly followed Harrison around the ring who countered with tighter, crispier shots. Charlo's really neglected throwing hooks and fighting on the inside, he always tried with the 1-2 over and over again, seemed mad uncomfortable.

Charlo's corner must have know that this shyt is very close cause they were yelling with Jermell before the 12th round to put the pressure on Harrsion, they definitely didn't sound like they'd feel they have this in the bag.

Also Charlo had this bad habit of starting the rounds strong, like the first half minute but then slowing down. So sometimes he was doing his best work in part of the rounds what the judges remember the least by the end of them...

I don't know who I favor in the rematch, Harrison seemed like the smarter dude in there and rematches tend to favor the "boxers" so it can happen that he wins by a clear UD second time but it also feels like Jermell can improve from here, he is also not a one-dimensional boxer when he is at his best.

Charlo-Korobov Fox Tripleheader Peaked At 2,421,000 Viewers

By Keith Idec

Scheduled for the Saturday night before Christmas, the timing of the debut of FOX’s rebooted boxing partnership with PBC wasn’t ideal.

The “PBC Fight Night on FOX” tripleheader still attracted respectable viewership. According to figures released Thursday by Nielsen Media Research, FOX’s three-bout broadcast from Barclays Center in Brooklyn drew the second-highest viewership of any boxing telecast this year in the United States.

An average of 1,971,000 viewers watched FOX’s entire telecast, which ran for approximately three hours and 15 minutes. The broadcast attracted a peak audience of 2,421,000 during the main event between Jermall Charlo and Matt Korobov.

Including FOX Deportes (135,000 viewers) and FOX’s streaming platforms (8,184 viewers), the average viewership of the show was 2,114,184.

The peak and average audiences for Saturday’s show each ranked No. 2 among all boxing broadcasts in 2018. The only boxing offering to attract more viewers this year was ESPN’s telecast October 13 from CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

Viewership for that card peaked at about 2,800,000 viewers during the main event – Terence Crawford’s 12th-round technical knockout of Jose Benavidez Jr. That two-bout broadcast also averaged the highest boxing viewership of this year (2,245,000).

FOX is available in roughly 120 million homes in the United States, approximately 33 million more than ESPN, a basic cable channel. FOX’s four boxing broadcasts in 2018 averaged 1,254,000 viewers, 337,000 more than Top Rank’s 14 telecasts averaged on ESPN in 2018 (917,000).

Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions and FOX announced a four-year deal early in September. As part of that agreement, FOX will air 10 PBC shows per year starting in 2019 and 12 PBC cards per year on FOX’s cable channels, FS1 and FOX Deportes.

In addition to finishing second overall this year among boxing broadcasts, viewership for FOX’s show Saturday night was significantly higher than for its previous boxing telecast.

That show, headlined by Andre Berto and Devon Alexander, peaked at 1,266,000 viewers during Berto’s split-decision victory over Alexander on August 4 in Uniondale, New York. That four-bout broadcast averaged 941,000 viewers overall.

Saturday’s show featured Houston’s Charlo twins in much more difficult fights than odds-makers predicted.

Detroit’s Tony Harrison upset Jermell Charlo in the co-featured fight to win the WBC super welterweight title. Harrison (28-2, 21 KOs), an 8-1 underdog, defeated Charlo (31-1, 15 KOs) on all three scorecards to win a unanimous decision in their 12-rounder (116-112, 115-113, 115-113).

Jermall Charlo (28-0, 21 KOs) beat Russia’s Korobov (28-2, 14 KOs) by wider margins – 119-108, 116-112 and 116-112. The WBC interim middleweight champion admitted afterward, however, that Korobov provided a tough test.

Korobov took the fight on just six days’ notice, once Charlo’s original opponent, Willie Monroe Jr. (23-3, 6 KOs), provided an adverse sample in a performance-enhancing drug test.

The tripleheader began Saturday night with a very competitive heavyweight fight. In that bout, Dominic Breazeale (20-1, 18 KOs), of Eastvale, California, knocked out Puerto Rico’s Carlos Negron (20-2, 16 KOs) in the ninth round of a 10-rounder.
