Roc Nation Sports Debuts: Dusty Harrison, Johnson Win
By Thomas Gerbasi - Welterweight prospect Dusty Hernandez-Harrison didn't deliver the showcase performance his fans and team might have expected against 35-year-old New York veteran Tommy Rainone at the Madison Square Garden Theater on Friday night, but he added another win to his unbeaten record by way of a less than thrilling 10-round unanimous decision in front of 4,253 fans. The bout marked the first event of Jay Z'’s Roc Nation Sports, a night highlighted by the appearance of the aforementioned hip hop icon and mogul and other notable stars, as well as a performance before the main event by Fabolous. The only thing missing when it came to star power was the main event, with Harrison workmanlike but little more against Rainone, who was game but didn't have the firepower to put a dent in the confidence of the 20-year-old. Scores were 100-90 twice and 99-91 for Harrison, now 25-0 with 13 KOs; Rainone falls to 22-6-1 with 4 KOs. Harrison picked up the WBC Continental Americas title with the win. After a three-minute feeling out process to start the bout, Harrison began walking Rainone down in a more determined fashion in round two, ripping off a couple left hooks that got the New Yorker's attention as he did so. The third round followed suit in the same fashion, the most exciting portion of the round coming in the final moments when the two got tangled and then tumbled to the mat.
