A better opportunity came up…

I remember reading about Alycia Baumgardner lobbying this fight for his trainer Harrison. (Didn't know this at that time.)

And so I though he must be fuming mad when he found out, but to Alycia he's giving him favors.

LAS VEGAS – Tony Harrison had a ringside seat Saturday night for one of the more brutal boxing matches you could witness in person. The former WBC super welterweight champion came away from it more impressed with Erickson Lubin than ever. He still wondered whether Lubin should continue his career after absorbing that type of damage to his face during a technical-knockout loss to Sebastian Fundora in their fantastic fight for the WBC interim super welterweight championship.

So Tim Tzsyu essentially saved Tony Harrison for a possible devastation leading to retirement. It's interesting.

No wonder Harrison quickly offered himself as replacement for the canceled Charlo fight.

The Tszyu fight was an escape route for Harrison to avoid the WBC mandated Fundora fight. Lucky for Tony, Tim accepted the offer.
