Bum ass Chavez Jr. came in over 5 pounds and they're still gonna fight
@the13thround who you picking cuz? 
Cmon fam, you know I despise ol hot headed ass Charlo.@the13thround who you picking cuz?
Harrison has already won the mental part.
I think he's going to outbox him again like he did the first time.
Charlo is gonna over-exert himself looking to end it with one shot.
Notice how he keeps referencing his KO against Cota in every interview.
He wants to end it early.
Jermell is 10x more athletic than Harrison.
If he actually calms the fuck down and chooses to box smartly, he could win easily.
But his ego and hot-headed nature won't let him do that.
Boxing is all about composure and not winding yourself up too tight.
However, Harrison needs to win CONVINCINGLY this time around.
If its close, the judges aren't going to let Charlo lose twice.
I'm putting money on Mel with the stoppage. I actually think Charlo won the first fight and he damn near stopped him in the 12.
But I hate that Vegas got Charlo as the favorite, that means I gotta bet on a KO to win some money. Also makes me wonder if those springtime "Harrison got KO'd in sparring rumors" are true.

Great job Eddie
I need to make a gif out of this mane
Man that shit is hilarious
As long as they keep paying him Millions he's going to keep coming into the ring and quitting
Look at this clown shit.
He punched Kenny Porter's woman.
This dude is DONE.
He punched Kenny Porter's woman.
This dude is DONE.
Ridiculous
Do tell
And he has a young thot. Dude is basically living through his son. I like Kenny but he does need to grow up
I understand what you're saying. When he knows he can handle the other fighters power, he becomes more aggressive, knowing that's it will cause him to get hit more. He doesn't stand there and get hit on purpose but it comes with the strategy.

When the fight ended abruptly with Chavez, the favorite of the largely Mexican and Mexican-American crowd, refusing to go on, spectators rained boos on him and pelted the ring with debris. When Chavez left the ring, people in the crowd of about 10,000 continued to throw things at him in an ugly scene.
Chavez said he quit because he had a broken nose. His lawyer, Miguel Leff, told ESPN's Salvador Rodriguez that Chavez will have reconstructive surgery and will be hospitalized at least 24 hours. Regardless, Jacobs had begun to take it to Chavez, who also quit after nine rounds in a 2015 fight with Andrzej Fonfara.

"They won't let me enjoy my victory," Jacobs said as he was being protected from objects flying into the ring. "I never ran and I never will, but I will duck these beer cans."

Pandemonium ensues as Chavez Jr. exits the ring
As Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. exits the ring after quitting, the crowd erupts in boos and throws a variety of garbage his way.
Jacobs returned to the win column after losing a competitive decision to Canelo Alvarez in a 160-pound title unification bout in May. Jacobs had been having trouble making weight in recent fights, so he moved up to the 168-pound division to face Chavez, also a former middleweight titlist.
But instead of facing a man his size, Jacobs was in the ring with a much bigger man who had failed to make weight Thursday and probably was close to being a cruiserweight on fight night.
Whether Chavez would even make it to the ring was riddled with uncertainty. He had to obtain a temporary restraining order from a Nevada court on Tuesday that forced the Nevada State Athletic Commission to lift his suspension for refusing a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association random drug test on Oct. 24 that left the fight in limbo and led Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn to move the bout from Las Vegas to Phoenix. The situation also forced Hearn to sign former two-time middleweight world title challenger Gabriel Rosado to fight on the undercard knowing he would be on standby to face Jacobs in case Chavez was not allowed to fight.
Even after Chavez's suspension was lifted, the fight was again in limbo Thursday when Chavez was 172.7 pounds at the weigh-in, a whopping 4.7 pounds over the 168-pound super middleweight limit. He had to give up $1 million of his purse to Jacobs so that Jacobs would fight him. Jacobs could have invoked his contractual right to fight Rosado instead because of how far overweight Chavez -- who has had weight issues for several bouts -- was.
"To me it wasn't my debut at super middleweight because to me he was a cruiserweight," Jacobs said. "Even his jab was heavy. Physically, he was a bigger man, so I tried my best to be elusive and box, but he was heavy. I did my best to counter him and slowly but surely I got my counterpunches in there and he quit."
Chavez made plenty of excuses following the fight, including accusing Jacobs of fouls that did not occur, and even had the audacity to call for a rematch.
"I was getting close but got head-butted above the left eye," Chavez said. "Then I had problems because of all the blood. I came over to the corner and couldn't breathe. He elbowed me and head-butted me. Very tough fight. I felt I couldn't go because I couldn't breathe properly. The ref wasn't calling anything.
"I apologize to the fans. I'd love to have a rematch. I got head-butted. He fought a dirty fight and [the referee] didn't even take a point away. He would have been able to continue doing the dirty work."
Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. backed up his son.
"With all due respect to the fans of Phoenix, Arizona, I disagree with you. My son was making a competitive fight and he was winning," Chavez Sr. wrote on social media. "Unfortunately, he was head-butted and elbowed. He has a broken nose and will undergo surgery now."
Chavez was very aggressive at the outset. He punched to the body and used his massive size advantage to push Jacobs around in the first two rounds. Jacobs, who was with a new head trainer in Fareed Samad for the first time after splitting with longtime cornerman Andre Rozier due to a financial dispute, got his jab going in the third round and appeared to get into a rhythm.
As Jacobs (36-3, 30 KOs), 32, of Brooklyn, New York, let his punches flow to the head and body in the fourth round, Chavez began to slow noticeably.
Chavez (51-4-1, 33 KOs), 33, of Mexico, had some success in the middle of the fifth round, but it was short-lived, and overall it was another good round for Jacobs, who cut Chavez over the left eye and gave him a bloody nose. After the round, Chavez returned to his corner but did not sit on his stool. As Chavez's team worked on his cut and nose, he did not seem to want to continue.
Finally, referee Wes Melton walked to his corner and Chavez indicated that he did not want to go on. As Melton waved the fight over, the boos cascaded throughout the arena and fans threw liquids and debris into the ring, some of which hit members of the DAZN broadcast team at ringside.
According to CompuBox, Jacobs landed 61 of 223 punches (27%), and Chavez landed 35 of 116 (30%).
Friday night marked just the second fight for Chavez in more than two years.
After losing by shutout decision to Alvarez in May 2017 in a fight in which Chavez did not appear to even try, Chavez had beaten only journeyman Evert Bravo by first-round knockout in a light heavyweight fight on Aug. 10 in Mexico.
By quitting the way he did, it is hard to envision Chavez back in a major fight. Jacobs, however, is in line for another big one, possibly a title shot at super middleweight against either Callum Smith or Billy Joe Saunders. All three of them are promoted by Hearn and fight on DAZN, which means they would not be complicated bouts to make.
More serious discussion of those fights will come in the future, but on Friday, Jacobs wanted to try to enjoy his win.
"I am comfortable with the victory. Obviously, they won't let me enjoy it," Jacobs said of the crowd. "I know they're not mad at me. They're mad at Chavez, but I did my part."

Chavez Jr. quits; fans jeer, pelt him with debris
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. quit after the fifth round of his super middleweight bout against Daniel Jacobs on Friday night, causing the crowd in Phoenix to rain boos and pelt him with debris as he left the ring.
Per California State Athletic Commission, purses for Saturday night’s Premier Boxing Champions on Fox card: Tony Harrison $500k, Jermell Charlo $1M; Efe Ajagba $15k, Iago Kiladze $20k; Karlos Balderas $10k, Rene Tellez Giron $10k; Hugo Centeno Jr. $25k, Juan Macias Montiel $22,500; Jhack Tepora $10k, Oscar Escandon $13,500; Andre Dirrell $20k, Juan Ubaldo Cabrera $2k; Eimantas Stanionis $10k, Julio Cesar Sanchez $10k.
damn Dirrell only fighting for 20k
fuck...smh
Yeah who would've thought his brother would be getting $1 mil purses while he's down to $20k
Charlo beat him the first time. Hell, Harrison wasn't punching that much and was backing up. I believe they (boxing judges circle) were trying to teach Charlo a lesson. But, Charlo will knock his ass out this time. You right, he needs to calm down a bit.
Yo on the low...this Balderas-Giron is entertaining. Lol
You’re right, Charlo did win that first fight.
This fight won’t last 3 rounds
