Official highlights
Good close fight, I thought Tony was edging it and looked relaxed in there. Charlo fought focused here, he hit hard and relaxed into it as the rounds went on…good shot from him to get Tony going. A tough stoppage for Harrison to swallow but…he probably should not have been allowed to continue after the second knockdown…he looked really hurt and dazed after that one.
Harrison show boated too much.
Awww maan…def not feeling that stoppage. This was a really good fight. Harrison fought very well. His Achilles heel has & always will be stamina. & i suspecr that’s wut got him caught & stunned. It’s also the reason he began showboating late…to disteact charlo. I realized in rhis fight that Jermell isn’t very good. He’s not very creative or thoughtful in the ring. He does come in wxcwllent shape & fights w/ a Mr. T in Rocky III type chip on hos shoulder but not same intensity. I wouldve loved to see the score cards at the end of this. Even w/ the kds this wouldve been close. Too bad. Guess boxing won’t produce anymore classics.
unlucky tony. good fight ..Charlo stayed focussed for 11 rounds
