Fight HighlightsIn an all-action heavyweight brawl that featured four knockdowns, Dominic Breazeale handed Izuagbe Ugonoh his first loss by fifth-round TKO. Also, 168-pound prospect Caleb Plant remained unbeaten with a lopsided 10-round decision over Thomas Awimbono.
This week in PBC Jabs, host Jordan Hardy recounts an explosive night of fights, highlighted by Deontay Wilder’s TKO of Gerald Washington, and checks in with Keith Thurman before his 147-pound world title unification showdown with Danny Garcia.
Jarrett Hurd’s first world title fight started with a whimper. Thankfully for him, it ended with a bang.
The parallels between Tony Harrison and Jarrett Hurd are many. Maybe not quite to the dimensions of the Abraham Lincoln-John F. Kennedy commonalities, but certainly enough to make for an intriguing 154-pound world title fight.
