So Harrison's comeback is against Cook...

[superheavyrhun]

So, Harrison is taking on Nicky Cook to show that he's overcome the whole alcohol abuse and dpression thing. I think it's a good thing for him that he isn't going straight in against Juan Manuel Marquez, because he might be a bit rusty, what with nearly a year out without a fight. We'll at least get to see if Harrison can still do the business, and if he can't and loses the belts...well at least they stay in Britain. Should be a good undercard too...rumour has it that Skelton will fight Audley Harrison, and I'm looking forward to see Matt Marsh too.

Scott Harrison will defend his WBO featherweight title against Nicky Cook at the ExCel Arena, London, on December 9, it was confirmed today.

Amir Khan, Kevin Mitchell, Peter Oboh, Tony Oakey, Matt Skelton and Matthew Marsh will also fight.

Troubled Harrison hasn't boxed since he defeated Nedal Hussein in November last year, but has battled hard to overcome a number of personal problems.

His reward is a mouth-watering domestic match up against Eastender Cook - to be screened live on ITV1 - who is the European champion and former British and Commonwealth title holder.

Undefeated in 26 fights, Cook was targeting a WBC world title shot before teaming up with Frank Warren, with whom he has signed a multi-fight deal.

He beat Cyril Thomas to win the European title before going on to unify British, Commonwealth and European crowns with an impressive win over Dazzo Williams.

Harrison, 29, was due to defend his title against Juan Manuel Marquez, but that fight has been put on hold and the intention is to stage it at some point in the New Year.

Cook will be looking to upset the applecart though, and himself has pretensions of taking on the best from the otherside of the Atlantic.

A second major fight is expected to be added to the card on Monday.

Tickets priced at £200 (Ringside),
£150 (Floor seating), £100 (Floor Seating)
£80 (Floor seating), £60 (Floor seating)
£40 (Tiered seating) will be on sale tomorrow (Friday).

Is Cook any good? Good enough for it to be a good fight?

I think Cook will come in with a fair chance of the upset, though Harrison will be a big step up in class for him. He's undefeated in 26, and has gathered in European and Commonwealth straps so far, and unless Harrison is on his game, he could get caught out. I also have my doubts about how able to make the weight Harrison is at the moment. I do fancy it could go a bit, and putting money on Cook, especially if you get good odds, would not be a hopeless bet.

200 ringside. You must be joking.


Anyhoo. Harrison needs a fight or two, shake off the rust and mentally get back in to things.

[Fenster]

What with Harrisons problems plus Cook is always bloody injured i wouldn't bank on it happening

Hopefully it does

Cook wins a GREAT fight.

He aint got time to have a fight or two its over for him now....the only thing he can do imo is fight cook try and beat him and then hope he can get lucky against marquez and sort his life out....the way he has been acting does he really deserive to be a world champ?

In my view, the governing body gave him an extension on that injury (how exactly is alcoholism and injury?) layoff that he had, and until he loses the belt, or get stripped, then he's a champion. To quote my mentor...Gandalf the Grey..."many who deserve life die and many who deserve death are given life, do not be too eager to strip a title from a fallen boxer". (I'm paraphrasing a bit of it.)

For Cooks sake, I think Harrison should be tested for drugs & alcohol pre and post fight. IMO.

Aside from that concern, the fight should be good and Scott IMO has the tools to beat Cook the question is can he bring them together under thesee circimstances? Guess we'll find out....

Tested for alchohol Yeah cuz it's such an unfair advantage to get smashed every night when your a professional athlete.

So in your opinion it would be OK for Harrison to fight intoxicated?

[p4pking]

Sure it would... I don't care if he wanted to fight stoned, drunk, as long as it's nothing performance enhancing.. As if being drunk would be an edge in the ring, he would get clobbered.

What about if Harrison pulls off something ilegal during the fight, like a punch to the back of the head or something outrages due to the alcohol? Costing Cook his career or health?
That would be OK?
You do realise alcohol may not be a performance enhancing but it IS a dangerous substance. Also different substances have different effects on people what may make you drowsy it might have a different effect on me and wake me up, it's different for everyone.
I got a friend who plays b-ball and can playbut whe he smokes weed he plays, hussels and runs 3 times better.
Not sure if you fully understand what your saying?

You just told me that you have a friend who plays basketball 3 times better when he smokes weed, and then you say I don't understand what Im saying?? Alchohol or Marijuana will never enhance anyones performance, I don't give a damn what anyone says. I was just saying in no sport do they ever test anyone for alchohol, and it's for the reason I stated, noone would be stupid enough to perform under the influence of it anyways in boxing... Not at the top level.

Despite that, you'll find a hundred heroes in every town in Britain who think you're wrong, and believe they have the best punches in the world every saturday night. Might benefit a defensive fighter like David Haye in his last outing to come forward and look for the KO more.
