will he get past guzman and if he does will go after anothe champ or will he move up??
i think that if he loses then he will move up and use the "weight issue" as part of an excuse
what im trying to say is that i think harrison will stay a featherweight until he gets beat
scott harrison
I would tend to agree with that. If he gets past Guzman (which I don't think he will) I imagine he'll push hard for a fight with the winner of Marquez-John. I can't see John winning that one, so the likelihood is that Scott will get beaten in one of his next three fights, be it against Guzman, Marquez, or a.n. other. At that point he'll probably move up to super-featherweight and get pounded on some more, because the competition is even tougher there (hence him staying at featherweight for as long as possible.)
I think Harrison/Guzman could go either way. People seem to be putting a lot of faith in Guzman despite his not beating anyone of major note. He has huge power but can he carry it over to Featherweight against higher class opposition? His last 3 fights have all gone the distance. Apart from his power, the couple of fights I've seen of him he has struck me as reckless and uses up way too much steam early on. He has the tools to upset Harrison but I'm not so sure if he'll beat him.
On the night I think Harrison will look 2 weight divisions above Guzman and will have a huge strength advantage. I think Harrison will take a more cautious approach than with some of his more recent fights and see if Guzmans power really is worth troubling himself about and then we may see and all out brawl that will have one of them out of there by the 8th I reckon.
Saying that, I recently placed a bet on both Calzaghe and Harrison losing their titles in their next fight. Hopefully I'll be in the money.

definitely a closer fight to call than some would have u believe.
however i still favour guzman to win a competitive scrap. 
Yeah, but I reckon he is a loss waiting to happen against a mover, Guzman will scrap with him.glahn wrote:I don't think it'll be a walkover by any means, but to me Harrison looks like a loss waiting to happen. He lost to Polo (on my card) and looked fairly unimpressive against Hussein. I just don't have much confidence in him anymore.
