Dusty Harrison vs Terrell Davis

by Gautham Nagesh

WASHINGTON, DC–Local welterweight prospect Dusty Harrison scored a quick stoppage in his first fight in front of his hometown crowd. The 17-year-old knocked the overmatched Terrell Davis down three times before the ref stopped the fight at 2:46 of the opening round, giving Harrison the win but displeasing his fans.

Winless in four attempts coming into the bout, Davis was chosen to be an opponent but failed at even that duty. Harrison was doubtless looking for more of an opportunity to impress and he landed several flush right hands, but Davis never looked interested in mixing it up. Harrison’s right hand was too fast and accurate, leaving Davis with no choice but try and hold on for dear life.

Dusty’s camp currently bills him as the youngest professional fighter in the country but he looked preternaturally poised despite the bright lights and luminaries at ringside. If he continues his work at Old School Gym there’s no reason he couldn’t eventually find himself on the televised portion of a card like this.
