Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Drops Harrison Three Times, Stops Him In Eleventh

[AKAcronym]

I think the showboating was meant to throw Charlo off. Harrison been bragging about living in Charlo's he's throughout the promotion.

It was meant to confuse, humiliate, and frustrate Charlo and cause him to fight recklessl Charlo showed his mental strength though and stuck to the game plan.

It could mean that, but that's what I mean when I say he loses focus. No reason to do dumb **** like that when it was your boxing that was doing all the talking. If you can't put that stuff to the side for mere minutes, you definitely have a problem with keeping focus. If this was the first time, I might give him slack, but not after 3.

I fu cking hate reading Idecs descriptions of fights.

Seriously! Why can't the guy just cut and paste that thing back in order before posting. It literally takes 30 seconds.

Harrison was in full control of the fight (well, not according to the paid off judges) but the lapse in concentration and Charlo never letting up got to him and finally nailing him was inevitable. I had a feeling this would happen even though I was rooting for him, kind of the story of this guy's career. Great boxing skills but horrible durability and chin.

I give credit where its due...if the judging had Jermell ahead at the time of the stoppage, that was most certainly not the case.

After the knockdown in the second round, Jermell was getting thoroughly outworked in the inside for the rest of the fight. Harrison is piling up points.

It's the 11th, and I'm disappointed in Jermell! Did he hurt his hand in pummeling Harrison in the first two rounds? Why is he not pulling the trigger?

If this continues, Harrison will LEGITIMATELY win this time ! Something woke Jermell up in the 11th. I feel like he could have gotten Harrison out of there within 5 rounds!

You idiots need to make up your minds. Reiss did a great job. Harrison was dead after the second knockdown he was down twice in the same round then Reiss gave him yet another chance and he was not answering back with anything.

I know a lot of you guys hate Charlo and would try to discredit his win but would you guys like it better if Harrison died? Most refs wouldn't even have let it go after that second knockdown but Reiss gave Harrison the benefit of the doubt and you punks still *****ing about a bad stoppage.

Can you guys please go away and leave my sport along

Yep, after that second KO, Reiss gave Harrison his "champion's respect" and let him get up. If this wasn't a championship fight at the highest level, the fight is most likely waived off after that second KO.

Great fight. The atmosphere was electric. Great refereeing as well tonight. Early stoppages are ruining this sport. Most refs would have stopped Balderas after the first kd, Kiladze when he was on spaghetti legs and Harrison after the second kd in round 11 and third overall. They were given a chance to make a comeback. Great card tonight overall.

It's hilarious seeing some of you front like you're *****ing about the "bad" stoppage when you're really just upset that the guy you wanted to lose won

lol it's even funnier that you think others won't realize it.

Helluva fight. Just goes to show you can't really trust punch stats. I thought Harrison really landed the crisper (not necessarily harder) punches overall. Also, I'd see Tony land a jab and snap Charlo's head back and the punch wasn't tallied by punch stats and Charlo would counter with a hook to the glove and it was counted.

Harrison dictated the tempo and was winning rounds. Alot of rounds felt like Jermell would land early and Tony would land late. I give Charlo alot of credit because he continued to try to land his shots and pursue his gameplan. I think the end came because Harrison got fatigued again, the showboating was a symptom of that (IMO). He was trying to hide the fact he was gassing. Props to Harrison for being gracious in defeat.

Awesome fight! I was rooting for Harrison before the fight but the showboating was a lil bit too much & cost him dearly. Looks like Charlo is the one that got into Harrison's head.

The two judges who had Charlo ahead at the time of the stoppage need to call it a career. Charlo is trash, easily outboxed the entire night and debatably only won two rounds before landing lucky punches. Harrison just got too ****y, he needs to quit the showboating.

doesnt matter charlo took the drama out of it
