WBC Light Heavyweight Eliminator and WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title
In the co-feature, last night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, Marcus Browne (23-0, 16 Kos) asserted himself early in his bout against Badou Jack (22-2-3, 13 Kos) and never looked back. Real Talk!
Browne executed the “game plan” at hand perfectly to a “T” and boxed beautifully inside that squared circle. Browne showed to be ready and on point and didn’t miss a beat as the rounds wore on. Badou had no answers to Browne’s slick movements and it cost him early big time.
Clearly behind by the seventh round, Badou suffered a nasty gash in the middle of his forehead on an accidental head clash that had him looking like a warrior from Vikings – blood everywhere. Real Talk! This unexpected accident didn’t help Badou at all but it did make it harder for him to see his opponent.
That being said Browne stuck to the task at hand and continued to batter his wounded warrior all the way to the 12th round. I tip my “B” hat to Badou for withstanding the onslaught while being blinded by his own blood. Dude is a serious warrior hands down.
With this impressive and convincing win over an established highly ranked adversary, Browne has truly showed that he belongs among the top Light Heavyweight in the Division.
Browne now has options in front of him after winning the WBC Light Heavyweight Eliminator and picking up the WBA Interim Light Heavyweight Title.
Congratulations Marcus on your latest accomplishments. Your future is looking brighter by the day, keep it up.
