Thread: Scott Harrison vs Gairy St. Clair

http://www.fightnews.com

Another new foe for Harrison!
WBO World Featherweight Champion Scott Harrison will now defend his title against Gairy St. Claire replacing Martin Honorio on May 20 at the Kings Hall in Belfast. Honorio had stepped in when original mandatory challenger Joan Guzman pulled out, but due to circumstances beyond Sports Network and Jimmy Montana (Honorio's manager) control, Honorio went missing for three days and has now decided not to take part in the fight. As a result of the above Sports Network understand that further action may be taken by the WBO against Honorio. St. Claire, who holds the WBO Intercontinental crown, comes in with a good record of 37 wins from 42 fights with only three losses, two draws and 17 KO's.


Gairy lives in my town and I spoke to him a few weeks ago at the pub watching the Mayweather/Judah fight. He told me his camp were negotiating with Warren to make the fight. Then I heard Honorio had got the fight I didn't think about it. Today I read he's got the fight and it's on May 20, exactly 1 week to get to Britain, get settled and challenge for a world title.

I don't know if Gairy will beat Harrison, but he's a nice fella, very quiet sort of bloke and from what I read about Harrison he sounds like a bit of a dick. Gairy's main problem will be a lack of power, but he is a slick counter pouncher and has a nice jab.


Good luck to Gairy next Saturday night!!

This fight is garbage. I think Diego Corrales beat this St. Clair clown years ago.

Yeah he did...but gairy alway comes to fight. Should be given credit for taking a fight on late notice, sam soliman does it all the time....and he also comes to fight.

Having had a look at this guy's record, he's got a lot of wins there, but I don't see any names that would suggest he's got more than an outside chance against Harrison.

He's got to be gutted that the Guzman fight fell through cause that was the one that was going to prove he could mix it with some world-class opposition, and it's a fight i'd have loved to have seen too.

I can see him stepping up pretty soon anyway, he's always really struggling to make the weight, and that's got to take it out of a guy.

well, that's my clueless two penceworth anyway

Don't particularly like Scott Harrison so if this guy does beat him I'll be happy.

Personally though I'd rather he was just thrown in jail with fellow twat Naseem.

Harrison's the one who pulled out of the Guzman fight. He said his tooth hurt.
