jermell charlo and austin trout was decent..the crowd wasnt feeling it all lol...booing the fukk out of the fight...booing charlo during the post fight interview...but its cali so there must have been mad mexicans in the audience..shyt was similar when i saw charlo-j rock at galen center...trout was making a fight of it in the first half..the second half charlo took over but more because trout got too gunshy and plus was catching some shots...a 113-113 draw with charlo scoring 2 knockdowns is kinda :hhh: to me..thats the bullshyt...a hurd-charlo unification is the fight and i would have to say hurd is the slight favorite with his light heavyweight self

what did you think of LSC/Mares II?

Same, watching it now. This is kind of underwhelming

yeah its funny they threw more than 2000 punches in the fight but it didnt give me that war feeling...hurd-lara and valdez-quigg were wars to me....the first lsc-mares fight was more of a war..back when LSC was more one dimensional and mares was fighting shell shocked and throwing like he had to get this nikka off him...they both boxed a lot better in this one and LSC start working that jab again in the mid rounds..he started stifling mares's offense..mares was getting his head whipped the fukk back at times with the follow up right hands by LSC...style clash is too great..mares will never beat this dude..lsc has his number..the crowd was loving this shyt though..gary russ will pick LSC apart if they fight..i hope its next..lsc needs to stop all the 3rd fight shyt with mares...no one needs to see it

This dude pretty much summed up my feelings on the fight perfectly, I was only half watching it cuz it felt like the same sequences over and over

I don't get those opinions who thought Charlo was unimpressive

He was a little too economic when he got Trout hurt, that's about it. Trout wasn't close to win 5 rounds, that was a BS, so was that draw, he basically survived the whole time maybe except some brief periods.
Charlo did what he had to, his style is very different from Hurd's. Against Trout's spoiling, crafty style Hurd's was the perfect style to stop him. Not letting him breath, drop tons of punches at him non-stop with the requirement of taking many shots himself in the early rounds and keep pushing.

I still got Charlo in Hurd vs Charlo but I can't say it very confidently. Not because of this fight though... this fight basically changed nothing on how I view Hurd vs Charlo. Charlo was right when he said Hurd will be there to be hit. For Hurd taking the risk of getting hit more but carrying on and overpowering opponents late in the fight paid off so far. Big risk, big reward. But Charlo punches bigger and more precisely than Lara or Harrison. If Hurd fights the same way against Charlo as he usually does it's likely that he gets stopped. Lara rattled him a few times, if he can, Charlo can do it too and possibly more.

Of course still not overlooking Hurd. He might takes those shots too and walks Charlo down, we might find out that Charlo kracks under that pressure, etc... anything can happen, but as of now I'm picking Charlo

LSC vs Mares was entertaining but it was basically what I expected...

We didn't need this rematch whatever how hard they tried to shove down our throat the narrative that it was so "awaited" and needed. It was clear enough first time who's the better fighter and as we expected nothing changed since. It was a nice fight though. End of story.

I hope we really get LSC vs GRJ
