On the Saturday night fight of boxing between Marcus Browne and Badou Jack, Marcus Browne roved himself as the elite light heavyweight champion as he gained points win over Badou Jack.
Browne in one of the toughest fights of his 23 career record won the fight by 117-110, 116-111, and 119-110 to win his WBA interim belt on Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
The sixth round clash left Jack with a bad cut on his forehead along with him bloodied and bruised. The 35 years old fighter might not get another chance to have the glory of winning a world title as the division is run over by many new young fighters.
Browne is clearly one of those energy pumped young fighters who took charge of the fight from opening round. New Yorker showed his fast speed and precision, his punches being from range along with quick combinations.
Jack, whose last six fights had been against world champions, tried to sue his experience in the ring but was smothered by his 28 years old opponent who was not only smart but sharp as well.
Browne had been in the control of the match before the sixth round but suffered a point deduction due to a head clash that left Jack with a one-inch gash on his forehead.
The persistent Jack tired to keep the gap as close as possible but the blood from the wound was clearly hindering his vision and the American fighter was clearly using his speed and combinations as an advantage over this disadvantage of Jack.
Thus the fight ended with Brown’s win as he showed the world that he is a real talent that other world light heavyweight champions should be on the lookout for.
