Harrison stops Charlo
Print Edition
Tony Harrison dethroned World Boxing Council super welterweight world champion Jermell Charlo with a controversial unanimous decision Saturday that brought jeers from the Barclays Center crowd in Brooklyn. Previously unbeaten Charlo was the aggressor throughout, but neither fighter landed any devastating blows and the judges gave the all-American showdown to Harrison by scores of 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113. “You know they took that fight from me,” said Charlo, who fell to 31-1 with 15 knockouts. “I was there, pushing the action the whole time. He was moving around just going to the jab, one or two punches. He didn’t win that fight.” But the new champion, who improved to 28-2 with 21 wins inside the distance, insisted there should be no doubt about the outcome. “I grinded. I grinded, I grinded and I grinded,” he said. “I showed championship composure. I didn’t have to do much. I used my jab. I kept him at bay.” The fight was the first of a twin bill that featured Charlo’s twin brother, Jermall Charlo, who retained his WBC interim middlweight title with a unanimous decision over late substitute Matt Korobov. Jermall Charlo pummelled Korobov in a decisive 12th to improve to 28-0 with 21 wins inside the distance. Korobov, who stepped up from the undercard after intended opponent Willie Monroe Jr failed a drugs test, fell to 28-2.
