It's like watching an amateur fight
This fight is awful. Gausha looks like the stereotypical good amateur that just can’t adapt to professional ranks. He isn’t doing anything.
Thurman and Wilder looked almost offended Broner was sitting between them mugging for camera. Broner must know he's the dented can of potted meat among fresh deli cuts here.
The venue has emptied, why is this the main event? Worst fight on paper proving to be worse than expected
I wondered the same thing. To all boxing fans this was easily the least interesting fight. It should have been first.Quote:

Gausha is never getting on a big network again and Lara is getting a paycut next time out regardless
Also notice how Charlo vs Hurd has been called out, responded to and verbally agreed to while waiting ;D
Hurd lumbers forward and Charlo shows his skills. Charlo on another level to Hurd.Quote:

Now they've been bored out of the arena.
Haymon is at the very least struggling to make this PBC thing work. He may even be on his last legs, who knows. I wonder what he's thinking about whatever genius worked the sequence of fights out tonight.
The fans are too bored to even boo.
Lara is excellent, but he seldom sets the room on fire.
Just watched this on YouTube, Trout did himself proud fighting a much bigger man, glad it was stopped when it was to be honest
Lubin can come back from that, as someone said earlier in the thread, it was one punch, it wasn't as if he got beat up over 12 rounds, the quality of the video that I watched wasn't the best, but it looked like Charlo twatted him on the ear which could be part of the reason why he looked like a dying fly when he was trying to get up.
I haven't bothered with the Lara fight, I had a feeling it'd be a bit of a stinker so I checked on what you lot said before I put it on, I'm glad I didn't waste my time with it
Lubin managed to make Charlo look like Thomas Hearns, Charlo isn’t a big puncher so we must assume Lubin has a glass jaw. Trout actually impressed me but it’s another defeat (4 out of 7) which probably spells the end for him at the top level. Lara was as boring as always not sure why so many people want to see him fight Canelo again, I literally feel asleep during that fight.
Be careful getting yourself caught in a trap of looking at a young fighter, deciding what he is and never allowing for change.Quote:

There’s something that makes me hesitant to get too excited about either Charlo but there is no denying the talent.
It remarkable. How did Mayweather sellout venues and yet Lara and Rigo are booed out of the place.Quote:
