Dusty Harrison was knocked down midway through the sixth round but managed to get a six-round unanimous decision over Marques Jackson.
Harrison was hit by an overhand right that caused him to slump into the ropes. Jackson couldn't finish the job and lost by scores of 59-55 and 58-55 (twice).
We'll have a very interesting post-fight in a moment. Interview now with Harrison on Spreaker.
Dusty faced adversity for the first time in his career, and he passed the test. He showed the heart to get off the canvas, the intelligence to weather the storm, and the grit to finish the round strong. This was a great learning experience for a young fighter.
ReplyDeleteAnd do not take anything away from Marqus Jackson. That dude did not come here to lay down and showed a tremendous amount of heart in his own right. Dusty hit him with everything but the kitchen sink and he never stopped coming forward.
Great main event and great night of boxing!
Dusty is very overrated. Don't pin your hopes on him.
ReplyDeleteI saw Dusty do something tonight that most fighters don't do and that's hold on. He did what he needed to do woke up and won the the fight. The kid he fought tonight wasn't a bum and he got the work he needed.
ReplyDeleteDusty lost
ReplyDeleteDusty has to work on his angles and his defense. He never took an angle when it came to slugging, inside. We are talking about a fighter who has never really been hit. There were several times when he was hit with left hooks that, if properly thrown, would have knocked him out.
ReplyDeleteThey are trying to work with him on angles in our gym but he ain't picking it up. Very slow on uptake. Not that bright.
ReplyDeleteDusty trains in VA. His ass ain't never even been to your made-up gym. Ain't that bright "MY ASS" he making big money while your back stabbing ass is broke. 17 and making more money than you ever will. Even with that flunky ass job you got. He got a new car, small place in Capital Hill, rack of tats, hanging out with top flight rappers, Has people like you following his every move, wanting dearly to ask for an autograph. Just opened his own barber shop in Southern MD. Never pays for his meals where ever he goes. OMG Bitch you are one jealous Ho!
