I was really looking forward to this.

This is slowly eroding my passion for boxing.

I'm really pissed off.

So after starting out with a 50/50 fight in Harrison-Cook, and a decent Heavyweight fight with Audley-Skelton. We end up with Audley-Williams and Khan as the main event again.

What will happen to Harrsion WBO title? Will it just go straight to Juan Manuel Marquez or will Cook still get a shot.

Can't it be as they normally do in such situations... Harrison is stripped, but Cook can win the title should he beat him?

As with Guzman vs Barrios.

Although, I don't want to see Cook at risk for taking a beating if Harrison is THAT much over. I don't want to see another Castillo vs Corrales II.

No way can Cook get a shot at the title. Surely.

Damn

To be fair the fight should have been cancelled back when Harrison was in prison twiddling his thumbs. He was in no mental state to fight, now it turns out hes not in physical shape either but why leave it to the last minute? AGAIN!

SHIT

WAY TO LET THE TICKET-HOLDERS KNOW IN GOOD TIME!

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 06 Dec 2006, 16:15

Harrison will get stripped now for sure and rightly so. What a twat all that big talk this week and he was never going to make the weight.

Any idea what the wanker weighs right now?

That's Mr. Warren for you. (Well, allegedly anyway).

Another promising show bites the dust, any SN show must be taken with a pinch of salt when first announced as it always ends up a shadow of how it started for one reason or another. Yet again the public who brought tickets are made mugs of.

Well the whole Harrison affair is not exactly their fault, however it should have been called off four weeks ago when he got out.

Exactly. Cook said to him 'just make sure you turn up' and Harrison said 'aye nae bother'. Tosser.

Well, Harrison can rightly kiss his title goodbye. He's had plenty of chances, let's be fair.

allegedly must be absolutely apoplectic after the events of this week.

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 06 Dec 2006, 17:31

Warren should drop Harrison like a hot potato.

states · Post by **states** » 06 Dec 2006, 17:35

Too right he should. But how much more of this can ITV take before they drop Warren? I know it's hardly his fault, but how many of his bills since the return to terrestrial TV have featured pull-outs or cancellations? It seems like every show goes wrong somehow.

they've gotta save the fight.

surely they can agree something.

i'll be pissed if it's called off completely.

sod the title.

I'll just quote you if you don't mind. It's exactly what I wanted to say.

Where do people stand with tickets?... can they get refunds?.... its very iffy that the fights been called off only now, am I the only one who thinks that the fight was never going to go ahead and that this has all been done to stop people refunding their tickets earlier???...
very poor show!... no wonder boxing has about 0 credibility in Britain now!... and I'm afraid that I'll be shocked if ITV is still showing boxing this time next year...

Surely refunds will be offered... public pressure persuaded Warren to offer refunds for the Williams vs Skelton II bill (orignally scheduled to feature Calzaghe vs Johnson and Enzo M vs Nelson).

Now with main event and chief support (which ever way round it is) being changed in the last week.... surely refunds will be given.

Not a predicament Warren wants to be in and I will be in full support of him ditching Scott Harrison.

silkov · Post by **silkov** » 06 Dec 2006, 18:01

Harrison should be ditched without doubt but Alleged is at fault also for not cancelling the fight 4 weeks ago and taking the fans and ITV for a ride!....

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 06 Dec 2006, 18:21

SN's shows on ITV has been an absolute shambles on the whole. Almost every main event seems to get cancelled or changed.

Is it officially off? Nothing on the BBC, ITV or SN site about it.

Look again it's on the BBC Sport as breaking news
