Time: 8 pm ET, 6 pm ET Undercard
TV: FOX and FS1 for the undercard
To say there is bad blood between Harrison and Charlo is an understatement. Despite the fact Harrison handed Charlo his first pro defeat and took his title in a controversial split decision, the two men have traded insults ever since the initial meeting almost a year ago to the day of the rematch.
This fight was supposed to take place earlier this year, but an injury forced Harrison out of the contest.
That delay only built the tension between the two 154-pounders. Now the time has come for Charlo to right the wrong from the first bout. Harrison’s movement, arm length and punching accuracy gave Charlo some issues, but it didn’t seem to be enough to cause a title change.
However, that’s how the judges scored the fight and the result left a bad taste in Charlo’s mouth. He’ll likely stop at nothing to get his title back, and to pursue unification afterward. Harrison wants to prove the first fight wasn’t a fluke.
