Unbeaten cruiserweight Dusty Hernandez Harrison (37-0-1, 23 KOs) won by third round knockout against Darin Austin (11-2, 8 KOs) on Saturday night at the Patapsco Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. Harrison, 198, dropped Austin for the count with a hard right hand. Time was 3:00.
In the co-feature, welterweight Rashad Kilpatrick (8-3, 3 KOs) scored a six round unanimous decision over Devonta Jones (3-4, 3 KOs). Both fighters were down in a good scrap. Scores were 57-55, 57-55, 58-54.
How is Harrison looking these days? He’s fighting at a much higher weight then when he was an up and coming sensation. I can’t help but root for the kid, but it’s hard to tell if his heart and head are fully in it. I wish him all the luck in the world.
This guy went through some horrible things in his life. I’m glad he is still plugging away, but at cruiserweight? I remember he was an upcoming middleweight machine.
How is an undefeated boxer with that many fights not ranked? I don’t believe he ever had been, right? He needs some management
John W-He started his career at 147 and has gradually risen up to Cruiserweight, never staying at one weight and yo-yoing up and down from 154-to 175. He never really established himself in one division and started fighting higher caliber opposition. He’s also had long periods of inactivity. 2 years ago his father, who was also his trainer was murdered in Washington DC. He’s had some serious setbacks along the way. At 30, he’s still young enough to get on a more consistent path in terms of weight and activity and become the fighter he was heralded to be.
Like Kamala Harris, Dusty is a fraud. He is a fugazi. His record is a pile of shit. Bogus.
I know he backed out of a fight with Scott Sigmon. Sigmon dogged him badly on social media for it too, basically echoing what you said.
Not sure why he backed out of the fight, but the name Scott Sigmon does not exactly strike fear in the Cruiserweight division. Who knows what’s going on in Harrisions mind now. Harrisons dad was very influential in guiding his career and was a very charismatic guy both in boxing and the community. I’m sure losing him greatly affected his confidence and identity, both as a fighter and a person. There are some definite psychological issues with someone who not really that long ago to have fought at a mean 147 to have ballooned up to nearly 300lbs. In boxing, if you’re not fully mentally prepared to fight, you do not belong in the ring.
You are beyond STUPID!! Get a life and stop being so immature. No one cares about your political or racial views. In case you haven’t noticed, this is a boxing website! Not a far right white nationalist site!!!
Although I completely disagree with lekaren’s assessment of Harrison as a boxer, I got to ask how is that related to white nationalist views? Serious question.
LeKaren,
Such a foolish comment..
You are one very tough arm chair warrior…
Get a life sunshine..
Only a homosexual man would vote for Kamala.
37-0 against an 11-2 yeah you should be undefeated
Years ago I went to a fight card in France. There was a Cruiserweight fight where one guy was something like 34-1 and the other guy was 4-3. Obvious mismatch right? Wrong! The 4-3 guy completely dominated. Records don’t tell the whole picture. It all depends on who you’ve fought!
So many stops and starts to his career. I don’t see him getting to a title shot though. Getting down from almost 300lbs though is success in it’s own right
