I remember about two years ago when everyone was laughing at Warrington saying he was just an Eddie Hearn hype job. You wonder if Hearn wouldn't mind him back now???

It was a bit of a no contest for me, although there was some genuine beef between Chisora and Whyte, effectively it was a British title fight. Warrington/Frampton was a fight I was looking forward to for ages, I'm surprised Frampton was such a big favourite, Warrington was class against Selby, I fancied his chances before the first bell but have never witnessed an onslaught like in the first 2 rounds. Please watch it, Frampton did well to get past them.

Jermall Charlo gets past Korobov
WBC interim middleweight world champion Jermall Charlo (28-0, 21 KOs) scored a hard fought twelve round unanimous decision over late sub Matt Korobov (28-2, 14 KOs) on Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Korobov gave Charlo all he could handle for the first eleven rounds. Charlo finally rocked Korobov in the last round. Scores were 119-108, 116-112, 116-112.

They had both Charlo fights on Fight Night. Not impressed with either Charlo brothers as they just aren't that exciting. That said, Jermell Charlo won that fight, and Harrison was lucky to get a win. Didn't think it was controversial as much as it was a close fight, with the wrong guy winning.
Jermall Charlo clearly won the fight, but it was another yawner until the 12th when Charlo finally hurt him. Korobov was supposed to fight an 8 rounder on the undercard, and stepped in at the last minute. Gave a good account of himself.

Anyone interested in Pacquiao v Broner for the WBA welterweight title next weekend? $34.95 on Sky Arena Sunday 20 January from 3PM. I won't be buying it but will head down to my local to watch it. Badou Jack v Marcus Browne at light heavyweight on the undercard could be worth a watch as well.
