Tommy Frank vs. Jay Harris RBR.

Thought at one stage Harris was running away with this but Frank hanging in there 77 - 75 Harris

 

...the odd boxing ultra-nerd aside.

 

Think the guy just does not like woman commentating

Round 8: Frank 10-9
Round 9: Harris 10-9

86-85 Harris

Great work for Harris who hurts Frank at the end of the round, but doesn’t manage to forge the stoppage.

 

Harris coming on! Frank now the one looking gassed! Harris seizing his moment, bashing the skull of the champion with hooks, planting his feet, resetting, and having another go before Frank can recover! Stoppage looking to be on cards perhaps!

10-9 Harris, 86-85 Harris

 

87 - 84 Harris

 

Yeah it’s ebbing and flowing this one

 

Any more momentum shifts and the ring'll implode.

 

There is the white towel of surrender, Frank's corner saving him. Harris hard charging until the finish; Frank held in place on the ropes with right hand leads and left hooks!

 

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

Round 10: Harris KO

Frank isn’t throwing much back and his corner throw the towel in. Harris becomes the new British champion at Flyweight.

 

Really enjoyed that much respect to both fighters

 

Alas, one less runner in the Lonsdale outright race now for Azeez, Smith and Bentley to worry about.

 

Does anyone know the official scorecards at the time of the stoppage?

 

Nothing to do with that. For a sport that once had Harry Carpenter, Reg Gutteridge and Ian Darke to go from that to this is a great shame. If you really believe that not liking that relentless waffle is down to sexism we'll leave it at that. Derry Matthews was awful too. Utterly dire. Excellent fight though .
