Detroit’s Tony Harrison took on the usually boisterous Antwone Smith in a 10 round contest.

Harrison hailing from the famed Kronk Gym quickly made it know that he intended to use his length at 6’1 to keep the outgunned Smith outside. Harrison landed punches at will. With seconds left in the first Harrison knocked Smith down with a damaging right hand. Soon after the bell in the second Harrison landed another huge right knocking Smith down and out of the fight. Harrison captured his 21 first victory via 2nd round TKO.

Undercard Results:
