Well, shut my mouth.

I in no-way expected this fight to go ahead, and expected scotty boy to be languishing (belt-less) in a spanish clink for the forseeable future. As it is, im glad the fights back on, especially given that it appears proper assessments of Harrisons condition have been made.

I have been impressed by Harrisons interviews etc since confirmation of the reactivation of the bout; given the very public pantomime of both his career and private life over the past months, he seemed remarkabley clean headed and focused. He has been contemptuous of suggestions that he may be ill-prepared, either mentally or physically, and claims to be in tip-top shape. Perhaps, after the spanish fiasco, he realises he has used up his chances and has something to prove (or, rather, something to remind us of).

Anyway Im sure it will be a cracker - I like Cook also, but hope Harrison wins and will expect that as long as his boasts about his condition are reasonably accurate!
