Former super welterweight champion Ishe "Sugar Shay'' Smith suffered a split decision loss to Detroit's Tony Harrison live from Sam's Town in Las Vegas.
In the co-main event, Andrew Tabiti scored a sixth round KO over Lateef Kayode to remain undefeated in the Premier Boxing Champions on Bounce main event.
After 10 rounds of action, Harrison (27-2, 21KOs) came out on top over Smith (29-10, 12 KOs) to gain the victory by split decision.
Harrison's speed and reach allowed him to land his shots and avoid Smith's punches. This made it difficult for Smith to get into a groove and execute his game plan. Judges saw the bout: 97-92 Harrison, 95-94 Smith, 96-93 Harrison.
"It's difficult for me to rate my performance," said Smith.
"I think we put on a great show, but overall his reach made it hard for me to land my punches. I don't think his speed or his age affected my plan, it all comes down to me. I fought a great fight and as you can see, judges ruled it a split decision.
And Harrison was happy with his own performance.
"I followed the instructions my corner gave me, they asked me to move and box, and that's what I did," said Harrison.
"I thought I could've put a lot more shots together offensively. Ishe is a vet and he showed it each and every round. Each round that I thought I could stop him, he came back. I just had to put the pressure on him a little more. All in all, I rate my performance a B+, my guard, my defense and offense was on point, my legs were on point. I stood up after the 3rd round all the way to the end and proved to everybody I could finish like a champ."
