By Cliff Rold - It wasn’t easy but 30-year old 2004 Uzbekistan Olympian Sherzod Husanov (15-0, 7 KO) survived ten rounds of nasty warfare with 25-year old Jhon Berrio (15-7, 11 KO) of Monteria, Colombia in the Jr. Middleweight division on Friday night at the Northern Quest Casino in Spokane, Washington, escaping with a majority decision which, while it probably should have been unanimous, was a credit to the game Berrio.
Husanov came into the bout just under the 154 lb. Jr. Middleweight limit at 153 ½, Berrio is a couple pounds over at 156.
Husanov began with a left jab, Berrio responding with a hard if blocked combination. Husanov countered a Berrio body shot with a sharp left hook and a crowd pleasing right near the ropes followed moments later. A right at mid-ring sliced through the guard of Berrio and Berrio spent ample time in the second half of the round with his back near the ropes. It didn’t seem to bother the Colombian, his face calm as he looked for space to land his measure of leather. [Click Here To Read More]
