The Charlo Coin Flip.

So the Charlo Twins tossed a coin to see who would fight in the main event. Jermall won so he got to fight Korobov in the main event.
Jermell gets upset by Harrison in the fight before. How much do you think that played on the judges minds when tabulating the scores of Charlo/Korobov? I’d say it was a huge factor and Korobov pretty much needed a KO to win that fight. The scores in that fight were absolutely tragic. Korobov deserves this win as much as Harrison did. If both Charlos lost their titles on the same night then the place would have exploded.
In my opinion, that coin toss was a huge factor in who left the arena with a belt between those brothers. I’d argue that Korobov did more to win that title than Harrison did and both Charlos really should have lost last night.

I can't honestly disagree with you. I was shocked at both of the fights scoring. Hazzard Jr.'s card was criminal.

After hearing those insane scores, Korobov needed a KO to win that fight. I was thinking that the entire time. By the way, how horrible would Charlo lose to Canelo? It's absolutely insane how made for Canelo Charlo is. Dude was broken down by the end of the fight. He could barely lift his arms to stop Korobov.
Canelo is a real body-puncher. He'd have stopped Charlo that night. Korobov isn't much of a body puncher, and he managed to really break down Charlo with those sneaky counters to the body.

Jermell should've won his fight.

Jermell got upset by Haymon, not Harrison. Still, having relatively close fights with Vanes and Harrison shows what his level is: a contender who can sometimes win a belt but is not true elite.

I'm not about to rewatch it, but I've heard from credible posters on another forum that Harrison won that fight. I didn't watch the first half, and I was on-and-off watching the second half. Either way, Harrison did substantially better than I'd have ever imagined. I'd have to go back and score it myself, but from what it sounds like, you could be kind to Harrison and probably argue a close decision in his favor.

Charlo himself admitted to giving away rounds. These 2 Charlos want these dazzling knockouts and forget that the first goal should be to get the win.

Harrison came there to survive. His whole body language was telling that. He did NOT win that fight.

Harrison did not come in there to survive. It was a stupid talking point that the commentators took out of their ass. Harrison was just cagey and looking to counter well. He did very well for his really bad chin; although, the 154 Charlo is prone to being outboxed. John Jackson was outboxing him until he got stopped.

He was negative but that doesn’t mean he came to survive.
