wins over names like kevin lueshing and hacine cherifi both former felix trinidad victims.. Lueshing very underated and a solid fighter and cherifi a former middleweight champ although i think it was short lived..
and over winky wright.. which may or may not be just, i havent seen it but on paper it certainly looks good..
Thanks for the info Man, thats a shame, really is.Quote:

We used to get a "who/where is Harry Simon" thread EVERY week.
Sometimes two a week.
Obviously gone a bit quiet lately.
Wow me neither. I see he has a win over the Winkster?
There was talk of him coming back and I see he did have one fight but it looks to have come to nothing.
As far as I know he's doing a two year jail sentence over the 2002 accident
One more clicky: Harry Simon - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia from the page you linked to, would have pretty much answered your own question...
He has fought since: Fight:1185727 - Boxrec Boxing Encyclopaedia
I was impressed when he took the punches from Wayne Alexander, and broke his hands on Simon's head. He out worked Winky but the decision was a draw at first from memory.
remember watching him not giving a shit about Wayne Alaxander's power shots... hell of a chin :o
Harry Simon had one of the best Amateur records in history 271-2, as BIG H said he was involved in a car crash and he killed 2 adults and a kid and injured 3 other people or something. He did have a comeback fight awhile ago but he looked sluggish, i have seen 3 fights of Harry Simon and he would of been a force at Jr Middleweight/Middleweight.
I wouldn't mind seeing Harry Simon vs Winky Wright again and scoring it. Haven't seen that fight in quite sometime. But he started serving his 2 year prison sentence in 2007 so he should be out soon. By the way Saddo Wayne Alexander took that fight on 24 hours notice, replacing Robert Allen.
Yeah i know mate that is why Wayne when shit or bust with the haymakers... as he knew he had to get him out of there if he wanted to win.Quote:

Winky deserved the decision against Simon, IMO it was another bad decision against Wright.
I had Winkus Maximus by 2 points...Quote:

The BIG bullshit was the judges scorecard that read 117-113 that's just absurd.
Wasn't the decision reversed or something because one of the judges made a mistake ? thats how i remember it i would like to see it again, but its so rare to get i wish i would of saved it.Quote:

It was originally ruled a draw then turned to a decision for Harry minutes later...Quote:
