Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Back Judges: They Got it Right, Harrison Beat Charlo!

[BoxingJunkie]

I cant believe Teddy said this. I had Jermell winning the fight 8 rounds to 4. I believe it to be a complete and total robbery.

Then go back and watch the fight. I've seen it twice and I agree with Teddy, Harrison won this fight. All 3 judges scored it in favor of Harrison so there is no "robbery".

Charlo pressed the fight, threw more and landed more to the passive Harrison.

I don't like the Charlo brothers attitude but he won that fight.

Here Teddy knows his boxing

I thought Jermell won the first time I watched it as well, but I wasn't really paying close attention to the fight and what landed and what didn't. After rewatching the fight I came up with the same score as the judges...115-113 for Harrison. He was controlling the fight with his jab, made Charlo miss wild swinging shots, and countered him when he needed to for the majority of the fight. He did just about enough to get the W. Good job by the judges.

For anyone wondering I have Harrison winning rounds 2,3,4,6,7,9,10 and Charlo rounds 1,5,8,11,12.

I agree completely. Sitting at the fight with no commentators I felt that Harrison eked out a win. When I got home and was reading about a "robbery", I was totally surprised. The fight could have gone either way but it was not a horrible decision!

I only watched the last 4 rounds and thought Harrison won.

All of you Charlo fanboys need to chill out! Harrison was making Jermell miss all night! Charlo only landed 4 or 5 significant punches all night! So what if Jermell was the aggressor most of the night, that doesn't mean anything if you're not landing shots! All this bullshiiitt about having to beat the champ, well, Harrison did beat the champ!

good post !

yea that..... " you have to take the title from the champ" rubbish..... is bullshlt

if you win by one point, then you win

just like that..... " close rounds go to the champ "..... rubbish

[aboutfkntime]

You always have to beat the champion to take his title. A draw results in the incumbent Champion retaining. That, I believe, is all that adage ever meant.

agree with that

Harrison and Jermell was a terrible fight. Harrison has no power and Jermell looked lost. Frankly didn't care by the end of the fight who won it was boring and uneventful.

what surprises me is that boxing fans are laughing at charlo struggling with Harrison as if hes some kind of bum, if you knew boxing you would know that this would be a tough fight for charlo. I had charlo winning but im not going to cry about the decision. but now that he struggled with another professional fighter hes a bum and overrated?

good post !

yea, no need to throw Charlo under a bus

either of the Charlo's, for that matter

Jermall is a stud for fighting Korobov on extremely short notice

no excuses, no crying.... no avoiding Korobov to pick Vanes

are the fans who say..... "you have to take the title from the champ"..... the same fans who think that "a real champ should dominate" his opponent?

plenty of great champions struggled with lesser opponents for all sorts of reasons..... especially #styles..... I knew Harrison would give Jermell problems if he put in a tight 12-round effort

not saying that either of the Charlo's are great champions
