      • Recess? Lovejoy thought this was lunch? Turns out, this was nothing more than a snack for the limited skilled NO CHAMP.

  • One of the rare cases where Don King is a good guy. Lovejoy got what he fucking deserved for not listing to the Hall of Fame promoter.

    Lovejoy probably fought like he trains, thinks, listens, and eat.

    The promoters are probably going to be the real losers in this, when Don King takes them to court. Lovejoy’s next fight should be with Jenny Craig. Then, he can find another career, like bouncing in bars, construction, or something that prevents him from getting killed.

  • If this fight were actually going to happen, that would be exactly how I would imagine it looking. We did not need to see that.

      • Well now, can’t disagree with that. It was the highlight of the event – by far.

        • It literally was the highlight. I watched the fight once. I watched the cartwheel 5 or 6 times.

  • Wonder what title Mendoza and the WBA will conjure for Charr now he’s no longer “in recess”. His only logical mandatory is Fres Oquendo. Make it happen.

    • Julian, let’s not insult those who are horrible. We all know Lovejoy is not that good.

  • Huge win for Charr. After bulldozing the undefeated Lovejoy, dare we say that he’s ready for the Impervious Pulverizer, Trevor Bryan?

  • Charr beat up the man who beat up panhandlers, janitors, pizzahut workers in Mexico

  • I don’t believe Don King has ever lost a court case!
    He won’t lose this one either*
    True

  • All that ‘hype’ around Lovejoy. You just knew he was gonna be a sack of potato’s.

  • I guess I could peek at the “highlights” since the fight didn’t go long at all.
    Maybe Chris will take away from this fight that his “KO streak” is still intact… 100% of the fights he’s in… still had a ko.

  • Finally..The Prospect from the Middle East is free to let his fists fly. History started born in Lebanon, amatuer champ from Syria, Lands in the Rhineland to give it back to Vitali and dude has talent despite. ust like Artur Beterbiev from Chechnia. Wait Wait Wait..Yea Yea yea. yubba dubba dew.

  • The heavyweight division has been put on notice…..
    Oops typo! I meant DIDN’T notice….

  • So, two complete bums fight in a glorified sparring session and the WBA considers one of these bums a “World Champion in Recess?” What a goddamned joke that organization has become.

  • Well now Lovejoy has to deal with DKP and get knocked out in court in 1 round

  • Charr Vs. Lovejoy Fight Went According To Script. Anyone Including A Novice Fan Of The “Sweet Science” Can See Lovejoy Needs To Retire, No Speed, No Skill, No Mechanics. Do Yourself A Favor Before You Get Hurt. Don King Has Used You, You Are Not Even Skilled Enough To Be A Sparring Partner, You Are More Akin To A Heavy Bag.

  • What a joke fight, glad I didnt watch this nonsense.
    Looks like the hype job Chris the Love had no joy, lol.
    Maybe he should be Wilders next opponent and join Ruiz in the battle of the Snickers.
