After some time away I hopped back online to check up on this........something seems strange.The more I sit with this, the more I think this was done on purpose to create controversy/buzz.
NOTHING sells more than controversy, nothing., no perfect fighter, no highlight ko, no undefeated record, nothing. FOX posted the fight highlights & post fight in ring drama and it has already received 237k views on the FOX Sports Youtube channel. FOX has nothing else on their FOX Sports channel that has anywhere even close to the amount of views, not even their NFL videos.
Other hints.
-Somebody in ring outside of Jimmy L Jr, KNEW that Tony would be the winner right before they announced it. Look right before they announce the winner..Tony Harrison is prepared to go back to his corner because he knows they're going to call Jermell...somebody in the front holding a pair of glasses tries to get him to turn around..and boom he's announced.
-They changed the camera awfully fast to Jermall's reaction in the locker room..as if the camera man was ready on QUEUE to catch the reaction. Kept going to their mom in the crowd as well
-The overall impact of Harrison winning has created MUCH more of a buzz than if Charlo would have got the typical/predicted knockout. A Jermell KO would have came and went as another KO on his list..sure it would have received attention online, yet not as much as this upset.
-This will bring more fans to watch the main FOX cards...as now they know it can be a competitive fight. Remember, just like how they did in the UFC, FOX is doing a monthly PBC Countdown show that highlights BOTH fighters equally.
-They gave an additional amount of promo to Harrison in the build up....if you've been paying attention to their social media feeds, Harrison gets the same type of segment 1 for 1 that Jermell is getting.
I think FOX is trying to create additional stars and also show that fights on their card are must see as they will be competitive or even controversial.
What better way to start off with a set of twins and one has to get back on track.
I think Jermall's performance was more due to being in total SHOCK. They definitely wanted him to get the quick KO.
All in all it almost seems as if FOX sacrificed Jermell's 0 in order to generate more buzz......and so far it has actually worked.

The twins needed this reality check, hope they come back stronger
I thought Haymon was this boogeyman, now dudes are saying the twins got setup and Haymon was powerless to stop it

this isnt wrestling bruh...this was an unnecessary showcase card for the charlos that went left for both of them and both their stocks took a hit due to the perceived status of their opponents

It was a total disaster for 2 hyped dudes who talk an " A" game but will always be "B" fighters.
Anyone thinking this was good for PBC and Fox is nuts.
This was a disaster.

I fell asleep 
No way Jermell threw away his undefeated record for controversy.
Conscious Pilot
Do Better.
I actually see where the breh coming from though. I mean this the same sport that gave us 5 draws in 5 major fights in less than 2 years.
I wouldn't put nothing pass the nikkas that's pulling the strings at this point.
Jermell a victim in this. I don't think all this extra controversy buzz benefits him, just the platform.

Yup. Jermell is just the victim here, the fighter's don't have a say/know.
Also...this sets up a nice rematch on the Spence/Garcia FOX PPV. That card needed a huge second fight and now we got one.
Views on the FOX Youtube channel are at 340K now, show me something that's close. They are also keeping the Charlo's Toe to Toe promo video as their lead in/home page video.
That PBC Countdown to Charlo/Harrison was like killing 2 birds with 1 stone if they can get this as a rematch on the Spence/Garcia FOX PPV..
You also have Hurd appearing on that card in the crowd/ring and it will be the 3rd time they create buzz for the potential Hurd/Charlo matchup and the 2nd time they create it on PPV...
It's also in Texas......
Word, just too much open potential from these coincidences.
Charlo/Harrison rematch on Spence/Garcia after all this fukkery, definitely gives that card a boost. Get you a mid tier crossroads fight in a progressive division and a prospect showcase and you got yourself a ppv card.

Yup, Spence/Garcia from a fight perspective is great..but a meaningful fight with some fukkery was needed to boost it.
Spence and Garcia are too classy.

LOL at this being setup for some epic rematch story for the PPV.
This shyt was a debacle

Regarding the bolded, Harrison wasn't standing next to Lennon, Jr. for the announcement, he was way off next to the ropes, the ring official was directing Harrison to get next to Lennon for the announcement so that's regular protocol. As far as the cameras on Jermall for the announcement they had cameras on him the whole time showing him watching the fight while warming up, so cutting to his reaction was natural.
