OK, so he's been depressed, been involved in barroom fights and has just 'escaped' the slammer...
But he'll still be too big and too tough for Nicky Cook!
Cook is a sweet fighter but lacks the k.o factor that Harrison has.
Should be a good fight, puncher vs boxer.
Im assuming the fight is still on??

Great.. Never mind the fact that he's ducked his two mandatories who would have absolutely taken him apart in Guzman and Marquez.. I don't even see how the WBO allows this crap to happen.. He allegedly assaults a police officer after dodging those 2, while in training for this next fight, and they still sanction this for his belt?? BS. He should have been stripped at the very least when he was sent to jail, if not before... Imagine if he had vacated last year when he should have, Guzman vs Marquez for the vacant WBO title.. That would have been a GREAT fight.
I hope Cook beats him. Nothing nasty just a straight forward victory. If Harrison wins this one then all concerned will have dodged a bullet IMO. They should all feel ashamed of themselves for allowing it.
Are the lot think Scott went to jail and got into trouble to avoid fighting certain fighters?
Sounds strange!
So he should be stripped for what he has 'allegedly' done?
There is storys throughout boxing about champions 'allegedly' doing stuff? Nigel Benn and an ashtray anyone?!
Im not doubting Harrison has a few personal demons but apart from one bad performance nothing says to me he will lose against a guy with no power.

Medina had no power, he did alright.
I think Cooks got a great chance. Physically Harrison wont be at his best. Im not buying this nonsense that prison has benifited him. For me that is a line that has been adopted by those that are doing their best to convince themselves that all is well. Mentally he could be all over the shop and there is no telling what might happen if the going gets tough for him.
I've not heard of the ashtray allegation regarding Nigel Benn but I'm praying with all my heart that he wasn't accused of 'inserting' it.Quote:

I think Medina had a huge reach advantage. I think when Scott stands next to Cook we'll see just how small Cook will look. I dont think Cook has a huge jab either. He's smart and fit but i think Scott will be too powerful.Quote:

Harrison ducked nobody,if anything Guzman ducked Harrison,he was the one that pulled out of the fight claiming weight issues and Marquez pulled out aswell to fight Jimrex Jaca,that was before Harrison went to jail in Spain,get ur facts straight man,I take it ur not a Harrison fan! ;)Quote:

I still say he should have been stripped as soon as he wen't to jail, he's already been given several allowances and hasn't defended his belt in a year. I also notice someone made sure to include "alledgedly" in my post, that's my bad if it indeed isn't for certain, I realize that could be problematic... What did he go to jail for in that case??Quote:

With Marquez well like I said before Harrison was even in trouble in Spain Marquez pulled out to fight Jaca so the argument about Marquez not wanting to wait around does'nt hold up as at that time Harrison was'nt in trouble in Spain as yet so who knows why he did pull out?,maybe he is physic,lol.
All I'm saying is Harrison is scared of nobody!,he's a warrior
One word : JuanManuelMarquez. ;DQuote:
