It wasn’t easy, but WBC interim middleweight champion Jermall Charlo (28-0, 21 KOs) was able to get a unanimous decision win over late notice replacement Matt Korobov (28-2, 14 KOs) in the PBC on FOX main event in Brooklyn, New York. This salvaged the night for the Charlo twins, with Jermell Charlo losing his WBC super welterweight belt to Tony Harrison in controversial fashion.
Jermall had considerable trouble all night with Korobov’s razor-sharp straight left hand, but Korobov certainly wasn’t training for a 12-rounder, and understandably faded as the fight progressed. Charlo had Korobov on skates in the final round, but could not finish the Russian.
