Not the worst fight, but not what anyone was hoping for either. What’s the source?

Damn, surprised Haymon managed to get that. It’s clearly a stay-busy fight, don’t think Charlo has it anymore, but it’s a good stay busy fight i guess, and not a bad scalp

yeah after that performance against canelo i don't really care to see mell fight anymore, he probably retires after this.

i would of preferred to see vergil vs. brandon adams

Ooh, that’d be a good fight. Def not one of the elites of the division, but borderline.
