    Osuna asks if the hatchet is buried in the Mayweather vs. Judah rivalry.

    Judah says yes, and not only is he prepping Mayweather for May 2nd, but Mayweather is actually helping to prepare Judah for his own fight in April. The past is all in the past and they're friendly now.

    Didn't you say Khytrov would destroy Melendez?

    Khytrov looked good, but there are a few things he needs to work on, such as going to the body, quit the wasted movement, and either do a better job fighting in the clinch or tie his man up, Melendez's best work came in the clinch when Ievgeny was just lazely standing about.

    Still think he'll be a top 10 mw, but I don't see him ever challenging GGG

    Remember that epic Gamboa vs. Lopez showdown that never happened?

    **** Adonis Stevenson.


    Tony Harrison is the guy I wanna see carry on the Emanuel Steward banner in the next few years. (besides, he's a ****load younger than Stevenson)

    Way too critical. He was excellent to be honest. Probably already a top 10 MW. I'd like to see him fight Jacobs.

    10-7 round instead of TKO1

    if Harrison hadn't fooled around he had gotten the 1st round win

    Round 1

    Harrison is throwing quick jabs up from the pleated grass-skirt style trunks. Smith is folding his neck and rolling his head back to slip but getting hit with the jab anyway as Harrison uses feints and variations on the speed and hardness of the jab to confuse him. Smith's nose bloodied. Smith is doing very little countering and consequently little of his trademark barking, slashing out a few left hooks and poking the body with jabs. Harrison finally opens up with a combo - 1-2-3-2 followed by a 1-2 on the nose - and Smith is down hard in a corner. Less than half a minute left. Byrd gives Smith a very generous 15-second count which he beats. Smith goes wild countering with no-look hooks up high as Harrison keeps a blistering fast 1-2-1-2 pumping in his face with uppercuts strewn in, Harrison moving in for the kill. Another combo, another knockdown at the bell on a delayed reaction by Smith doing a stinky leg dance on the way down.

    10-7 Harrison

    Anytime he went to the body Melendez winced, yet he kept neglecting it for some reason.

    Harrison is the truth though, very impressive showing so far.

    The ringside physician is advising the ref he wants to stop it and will if Smith looks hurt again..

    Round 2

    Harrison shoots the jab out fast and hard at the face of Smith. Harrison walks Smith into the ropes and lands a BIG RIGHT! Smith drops to his knees, bounces up, but Robert Byrd intercepts him to inform him that he is done.

    KO2!!
