I'd wait for charlo at least untill belts start getting stripped. which has to be soon...

when was his last mandatory? last fight was a rematch, 2nd last fight was a unification, 3rd last fight was a unification, 4th last fight he was the challanger... harrison didnt have a mandatory because it was a rematch... charlo vs harrison 1 was a vollantary defence, charlo vs trout was a vollantary defence, the WBCs last mandatory was 5.5 years ago... (and charlos last mandatory.)


P.s fundura is booked for his 2nd defence (third fight) for the interim WBC title... that cant go on much longer, if tszyu could fight fundura for the full WBO and WBC then that would be worthy..

yes i think tim would beat anyone charlo has - charlo has done a good job cleaning up the titles but it hasnt been a strong division. fairly evenly matched, but not particularly high quality

i mean ffs julian williams and banana rosario were unified champs

Yeah, Charlo has had a blessed run.
I thought he got lucky stopping Lubin early, and his power has saved him a few times.
Tonight I thought Tszyu had a whole other gear, and was still out pointing Harrison, without even breathing heavy. As soon as Timmeh stepped on the gas in R9 you could tell he was ready to go to the 12th like that.

Just saw a clip of charlo saying he will be back end of the summer (so im guessing august). so hopefuly its timmy because that would be perfect timing. If he wants a tune up he has to get stripped of at least WBC and WBO, but probably WBA and IBF too....

He should be stripped of everything. The Tszyu fight was set with a long preparation, then Charlo pulls out. If Charlo tries to postpone it further, he can't be called a champion. A tune up fight? How you can have it, when you're a champ with a mandatory?

Actually several long waiting mandatory fights.
It would be such a shame to split up the belts, but in all fairness Charlo has let the situation get too far out to be saved by benevolent Orgs. Especially when Tim in Australia will bring more money for them than Charlo vs 'not Tim' in America.
The Harrison win, spectacular as it was, will get casual Aussies behind Tim big time now.

Absolute moron for a referee in that fight, what the hell was he thinking, the fat dumb ass was happy to let Harrison get killed in there.

the ref actually posts here ocassionally in the records section

i get giving a guy a chance, but dear gawd that was like mercer-morrison with an extra 5 shots for good measure. harrison was sleeping on his feet long before he went down

Does he? Hope he reads this then, to let the brave TH takes all those shots, late in the fight, then to do his upmost to get him to continue after the count……just ignorant beyond belief.

Then strutting around the ring after like he’d done an ace job…a dangerous level of incompetence, no awareness at all.

i agree, doing a full count just delays harrison getting medical treatment too

Fight should of been stopped after the 2nd overhand right with harrison looking at the floor wayyy befor the uppercuts...

That being said, great for tszyu that the ref decided to let him go. Thats the type of highlight KO that gets you trending and known outside of australia...

Side note, whos Tony harrisons corner? fvcking hell they are stubbourn, Not only did they not throw the towl during the beating, they stilll didnt throw it when the ref started assesing there guy.

Yeh. That’s daft. He has all the belts, if he can’t fight Tim, then and wants a tune up, against who? Another mandatory?

Other orgs will want to call it.

Charlo can simply vacate the belt and Tim becomes full champion.

ref should quit his job. harrison should retire. and charlo should fight tszyu or hang em up too.

If your reading the thread, and haven't seen the fight- try catching it on youtube later on.
It's well worth a watch to see a guy's coming of age fight, a lot like Taylor Vs Postal, except Harrison didn't school Tszyu in this one like you might have expected him to.
I think it is essential viewing leading up to Tim's next big fight either against Charlo, or as mentioned above, for a vacant belt.

Good win for Tszyu and an emphatic finish, must've nailed Harrison with 10 right hands/uppercuts, Harrison boxed well enough sharp jab but a bit passive and not enough power punches thrown to deter Tszyu who brought steady pressure and good variety, got tagged more than once but never got flustered and got a big TKO

I didn't expect Tim to "school" anyone, especially not ToeKnee !
Tim's great and it was exactly as you described in 'coming of age', BUT..
I expected him to lose the early rounds, but "get to him in the end".
Didn't we all..?

Harrison is done. He quit. Got a retirement paycheck.

he quit? did you see the fight? ffs he got brutally ko'd..........this sequence here was after he'd already been badly hurt and taken a shitload of shots just before too

i guess morrison pulled a heartless quit vs mercer too

ya, look at tony 'quit' here

Quit?…. He got hurt, hit with 4 overhand rights backed onto the ropes, got hit again, then copped 4 uppercuts and a left hook (Mabey even another haymaker on on the way down) and he still got up and tried to continue.

Fight should have been stopped 6 or 7 clean punches ago and he was still battling. It was Mabey the single least amount of quit iv ever seen…

dude was almost sleeping on his feet, he was going limp, he was too far gone to even make the choice to quit

his reluctancy to really attack is harrison's problem. for whatever reason.

he touched up tszyu nicely with his jab but if u are a rangy guy with a quite excellent jab like tony u got to follow that shit up with something.

he's lacking the aggression to really hurt his opponent. to be first with your jab and then everytime stop in your tracks is an issue with a lot of guys that would've got the tools but suffer from a phlegma that keeps them from really letting them hands go and do damage.

only when they are rattled or even hurt the natural survival instincts kick in and they show serious initiative. often it's too late. I'm babbling. gotta take a nap.

tszyu got that shit goin. guess it's called killer instinct.

Oh for sure Skankie, I would have put money on Tony taking the young fella to school for at least the first 4 rounds. On my card I only gave Tony one of the first 4.

The reason he was reluctant to attack was Tszyu hitting him hard with counter right hands and the looping left hook whenever he tried to open up. It was a stellar performance from Tszyu, who not only had the quicker hands, but also the power to make Tony clam up.
