Manuel Charr KO’s Christopher Lovejoy With Ease Inside Two Rounds

Germany’s WBA World Champion in recess, Manual Charr destroyed American Christopher Lovejoy with ease In Cologne, Germany on Saturday night. Charr moves to 32-4 with 18 ko’s, whilst Lovejoy took his first defeat as a professional.

The show looked awful on the tv screen and the hall where the fight took place appeared cramped, but what is to be expected of such a fight. Whilst Charr is respected amongst boxing fans, Lovejoy is somewhat of a mystery as there is little or no footage of his previous fights online. But a plenty of noise from Lovejoy on social media.

This was Manuel Charr’s first fight in over 3 and a half years and he began the first round in a somewhat cautious manner. Lovejoy looked to throw his jab often and the first round saw little action, apart from a clinch which saw Lovejoy fall to the canvas towards the end of the first round, where he moaned about a painful arm.

The second round saw Charr back up Lovejoy against a corner and the German proceeded to unload a short combination on the American which resulted in him falling to the canvas. Referee Jurgen Langos gave a full 10 count before the fight was stopped at 1:09 of the second round.

Charr was overwhelmed and clearly pleased to have returned to the ring with a knockout win as his post-fight celebrations were very animated. 

The situation with the WBA is very confusing, as Trevor Bryan is the current WBA World champion, but Charr was previously – so does that mean the two men will now fight in the near future, or will Charr be given his own title.
