I'd pick nigel wright to win this one pritty easy

[saturday_kid]

It will be at light welter (Steve Williams has vacated the English strap to fight Daws) good English title match this one

Hopefully Dean can continue his rejuvenation under new trainer Lee Beard (he came back after a bad defeat to Darren Askew to stop Ben Lawler in 1 for the Midlands strap) and can ground out a tough 10 round decision, its gonna be extremely tough for him though, especially away from home.

Wright wins easily. Harrison is not a good fighter, Mc Closkey demolished him when he challenged for the British title.

Not a good fighter?? Whats your record in the ring then?

Dean might not be at the very best domestically but he's certainly still a good fighter, he'd give anyone at LWW a decent fight domestically. Remember he took the fight with McCloskey at just over a weeks notice, and McCloskey is very decent. Also I think Harrison was suffering from a bit of lack of confidence in that fight, the two had sparred each other and don't quote me on this but I think Dean had came off worse. He's also had a few problems with injuries and things in recent times.

I'd like to think Harrison could win the English title, and hopefully with a bit of luck get a crack at the Lonsdale. He can certainly hold his head up high.

Nigel Wright and Dean Harrison square up for the vacant English light-welterweight title in Houghton-le-Spring, Tyne and Wear, on July 23.
Local man Wright has already won the title twice but relinquished to challenge for bigger and better belts. He went the full 12 rounds with strong Londoner Lenny Daws in a crack at the British light-welterweight title and with the feared Ajose Olusegun for the Commonwealth light-welterweight title. He's fought both men twice, in fact, and has a fine 10-round draw with Daws. He also went the full 10 rounds with big-hitting Paul McCloskey, the current European light-welterweight champion, in a non-title affair in Ireland.
All this experience paid off when the 30-year-old Wright outscored former world champion Alex Arthur over eight rounds last December for his biggest win to date. The canny Crook southpaw was too big, sharp and slippery for rusty Alex in Newcastle. On his own manor he holds all the aces against Harrison, who also went in with McCloskey – at short notice for a virus-struck Barry Morrison – and was halted in four rounds last year. Since then, Harrison has been stopped by Darren Askew in three rounds in Stoke, a southpaw like Wright, and wrested the Midlands Area light-welterweight title from Ben Lawler in one stunning round in his most recent outing in March, which earned him this crack.
Harrison gets stuck in and is surprisingly effective with the jab when he wants, a man for whom the English means much more than it does Wright. He lost by a single point to Derby's flashy and capable Scott Haywood at the end of 10 cracking rounds in a previous stab at the title. He chopped down Dominican Ramon Guevara with a series of crisp uppercuts in Las Vegas in 2007. Clearly, the 26-year-old brickie is no mug but he does have a history of marking up and of struggling with southpaws.
Wright has the boxing ability to force a decision.
