Scott Harrison comeback

[ThereByTheGrace]

Please just give it up now

[ShadrachSimmo]

Please just give it up now

That bad?

The delusion is worse than any performance.

Yep. The bbc and stv were giving him air time on friday news and fair enough hes determined but so are a lot of other fighters without the same baggage.

Find something else to do his time is long gone

[Old bones Ian]

The look on Peers face in the corner at the end of the 2nd round, you could see he was done.

Was this licensed by the BBBofC ?

Whilst never a fan of Harrison I was at the Wembley show when he got well beaten by Liam Walsh, who at that time was establishing himself at British level, and remember willing him on to last the distance for old times sake. I felt sad for Harrison, desperately trying to compete and just hanging in there by the end.

Now another 7 years have passed. It's that awful situation where they seem to manage to convince themselves that they've improved, when the opposite tends to be the case.

It's good he's got himself in shape and still has enough to see off vastly inferior opposition, but it's when they think it's leading to something bigger it becomes an unenjoyable watch. I don't know how good Paul Peers is, but Harrison didn't look that good IMO but did finish the fight well.

There's another young whipper snapper out there ready to bring him back down to earth with a bump, and not anywhere near the level he once competed at like when he shared a win and loss with Manual Medina for example.

Sanctioned by BIBA

[THEBUTCH]

Ah, now things make a bit more sense

I'm guessing a BIBA world champion is a completely different level to a genuine title holder in the pro game.

BIBA were the sanctioning body that were behind the Nigel benn comeback that thankfully didn’t happen

[Coco]

A bloke with Harrison's issues needs focus.

This comeback will be a success story if it keeps him on the straight and narrow for a bit.

[Old bones Ian]

Did Paul Peers have 2 pro fights under BBoC and lose both by stoppage?

He did indeed. Well out his depth here. It is what it is though.

Late shot by Harrison was a bit cheeky at the end. Don't think it connected.

[Steveh583]

Tbh i 'd prefer him to have a few micky mouse knock over wins at a low level, pick up an unrecognised strap along the way, and be able to claim his comeback a 'success' than see him fight a genuine pro. I've no probs with him getting piece of mind before selling his book then the inevitable career as a personal trainer. Providing no one gets hurt obv.

[THEBUTCH]

One of the earlier posts said Harrison thinks he is going to be a world champion again, which suggests a big increase in opposition at some point. That's the bit that is a concern.

Anyway, this is being done under something called BIBA, so IMO it's not 'real'.

[Ruthless-RKO]

How come it’s not showing on BoxRec results?

In my observations, fading fighters often alter their definition of what a 'world' champion is. PBC belt here we come.

[THEBUTCH]

Altered beyond recognition in this case.

Hopefully he earns a few quid, gets a bit of spotlight and ride off Into the sunset

Jesus, imagine being an executive type walking into a gym and getting Harrison as your PT instructor, fúcking terrifying

They’d love him. Those types are always dying to have tough guy mates.

Boxrec don't accept BIBA results, noticed the away fighters are on boxrec and box on bbbofc shows, worrying if they are on suspensions from getting stopped and loaded straight on to other shows as its not been logged

Exactly the reason why BIBA (and some other) results should be included in my honest opinion

[MasterG]

My personal opinion is that any boxing match that has taken place in a 'professional' capacity should be on a record of some sort. It could be noted which sanctioning body the fight was under beside the result.

The only reason I would like to see this is because of 'ringers'

I remember a fight many years ago. Kevin Plant v Homknokkor Som-Song. Originally Homknokkor Som-Song's name was just Samsong and no one knew eff all about him. (Homknokkor Som-Song was a world class Thai boxer) The fight didnt end well for Kevin Plant even though 'Samsong' was making his debut against Plant.

I just dont like to think that a ringer from another organisation could very well make his debut BBBoC or anyone else and wreck a novices life.

Didn’t realise it was BIBA.

Just as an aside Michael Nunn took part in a kick boxing contest last night, he's 57 years old.
