    I was forced to watch a ****ty stream of this because I was at work. We don't get ESPN at the job, so I missed most of this fight, which pissed me off. The joys of working every weekend. I can't even watch most fights live.

      Great underdog victory by Nelson, hopefully he gets a big name next. He was the ring general in that fight and his experience showed. Wouldn't mind seeing him against Lara, or even a Vanes rematch.

      Harrison didn't pass the test this time but there'll always be a next time. Losing is just a part of all sports, very few boxers remain undefeated for a whole career and if they do it's usually due to them cherry picking the "right fights at the right time".

        Especially when they flaunt their arrogance and act like their sht doesn't stink beating shot fighters and end up facing a guy with a strange habit of actually punching back.

            Wasn't there a thread a week or so ago where a bunch of people were raving over Harrison's 'expert' opinion of Golovkin? About how Mayweather would beat him easily or something?

              Of all the 154 up and coming undefeated boxers, did he get rushed too fast?

              Before last night, his toughest opponent was who Antoine Smith? And than he gets put in with Willie Nelson?

              At least Jermell Charlo had faced the likes of Demetrius Hopkins, Gabriel Rosado and Vanes Martirosyan.

              Julian Williams has faced Hugo Centeno and Joey Hernandez.

              Jermall not the same level of comp as his brother or J-Rock, but a little better opponents than Harrison. Both fought Antoine Smith. But what Jermall has over Tony is he trains and spars with his brother, Erislandy Lara and Bryan Vera every day.

              Look for Haymon to push another young undefeated 154 Erickson Lubin in Tony's spot until he works his way back up.

                I'm the exact same way! Lol. I saw him in that signature and I'm like, "who the hell is that guy? I'm gonna have to watch out for him." And then this fight happened. Who's the other guy in his sig?

It was obvious Nelson could physically son Harrison if he had imposed his will from round one, he would have gotten Harrison out of there early. He needs to start early.


                  Whats with the glasses lately?!? Hilarious.

                    Have you contacted OSHA or human resources department? Not providing ESPN for employees is terrible!
