I thought he was absolutely forbidden to drink as part of his release etc etc?

Scott Harrison needs more time to earn money, get seasoned in the ring and get enough wins to build up a match against Ricky Burns.

I actually think Simpson will beat him and I think it will be a very good fight.

what sort of money will harrison be getting in these comback fights do u think

I remember a friend of mine who used to work for the telegraph going up to interview Harrison in Scotland and saying he watched a training session where he was running up the steep mountainsides with a heavy pack, with this talk of him drinking I just don't see him able to sustain the kind of training that made him a monster at his best.

IF he gets into the proper kind of training and is as fit as he can be for an intense 12 rounds, then I can see him outworking Simpson. However, if he is on the booze or less than 100% committed the Simpson has the tough hardman approach to expose any weaknesses.

No matter how hard Scott trains he is vulnerable to a good boxer, I like both fighters but have become a big fan of Simpson lately. John has looked excellent in his last couple of fights. This is going to be a classic.
