Tommy Frank vs. Jay Harris RBR.

Main event starting now.

@IntentionalButt @CST80 You guys may be interested in this. I am backing Frank for the upset. WAR FRANK!!

 

Thomas Frank vs. Jay Harris, 12 rounds @ flyweight

 

If he does so he'll be in a three way tie with Dalton Smith and Dan Azeez, each one defense away from becoming next to win the Lonsdale outright.

 

What about Denzel Bentley ? Isn’t he 1 away too ?

 

Lads have one common opponent, Brett Fidoe.

Harris shut him out in 4 in his pro debut in 2013, and beat him again on points in a 6-rounder six years later. (Frank beat him on points in a four rounder in 2017).

 

Round 1: Frank 10-9

As expected it is competitive and hard to score. Harris landed some good body shots but Frank had the better work in the first round for me.

 

Right you are! Hadn't updated my list since his KO1 over Kieran Smith a couple of weeks ago.

 

10-9 Frank, I really like the sneaky cheeky left hook lead across the chin baiting the high counter and setting up a body combo.

Tidy work from both men.

 

Round 1: Frank 10-9
Round 2: Harris 10-9

19-19

Really high-pace action. Harris outworked Frank in this round and has a much better defence. I can see the judges being swayed by Frank’s home support.

 

...funny, Frank has a two inch height advantage but you wouldn't know it by looking as he's the one crowding inside, hunkering low and working the body. Harris boxing what traditionally considered "tall" behind the 1-2. Slightly better round for him (getting in some digs downstairs himself to fill the balance sheet), 19 all.

 

Good start 1-1 for me

 

Round 1: Frank 10-9
Round 2: Harris 10-9
Round 3: Harris 10-9

29-28 Harris

Harris can’t miss with the left hook to the body. I like how Steve Gray is letting the fighters work on the inside.

 

Forehead to forehead like rams locking horns, both hitting the body, love to see it. 2-1 Harris

 

Round 1: Frank 10-9
Round 2: Harris 10-9
Round 3: Harris 10-9
Round 4: Harris 10-9

39-37 Harris

Harris has a cut above his right eye but had a great round and hurt Frank.

 

Harris whamming away but has taken a bad cut. Think it might've been from a butt?
