Stevie Johnston. Vivian Harris is worse at coming through when he's supposed to then Judah.

Hey, that's not bad for a late replacement. Maybe a tougher fight than Arnautas would have been.
Re: Harris to fight Johnston!
I don't think its a bad replacement. I just dont think that Harris who is supposed to win is going to. He is so inconsistant and Manny isn't training him anymore.

Stevie has the heart but he is knee high to a grasshopper at 5'5. Stevie is going to be in an up hill battle.. Harris 5"11 frame and reach advantage will be hard to overcome. I hope Stevie finds a way to knock Harris out !

You never know with Harris, i mean if Maussa stopped him then anyone can!

CC, and bang on. I still laugh thinking about that match, never seen someone fight so stupid in my life. As for this one though, Stevie Johnston was a really good fighter at lightweight but Im not so sure he will be effective any higher and obviously he hasn't fought anyone of note in years.. But it wouldn't be an upset if he won, it's like you said.
