I don't think Harrison's finished at world level if he loses again tonight. He looked excellent coming through and did a real job on Chacon and McCullough - that's a fighter with ability and that's why people started talking about him. He's not become mediocre overnight.

However, styles make fights, and Medina's on the evidence of their first encounter could be all wrong for him. Obviously Harrison will have to rebuild himself at domestic level in fights say against Michael Gomez, Gavin Rees, Kevin Lear and possibly Alex Arthur. I believe he's good enough to take care of them at super-feather should he elect to move up.

Things can change very quickly in boxing. There's so many avenues and so many titles knocking about that if you string a couple of decent wins together doors will open again.

Win or lose against Medina tonight I feel Harrison will have to be matched with relative caution for the remainder of his career. Crafty movers don't suit him.

True, even Warren sounds doubtful he'll pull through tonight. Harrison has to have some sort of winning plan though, if not he's a fool to take the fight.
Cut off the ring, step on Medina's feet, anything to keep him in one place long enough to break him down. The Mexican is an old featherweight really & it shouldn't be impossible for a fighter of Scott's quality to beat him.
I think he will - but saying that, I'll admit even if he doesn't it's not the end of the world - he'll just move up in weight and rebuild from there.

Really looking forward to this now, if Harrison can't cut off the ring like he has to then we know for sure that he's as one dimensional as some, including myself, think he is. I personally don't think he'll be able to, you've got to have some decent footwork to begin with, it takes natural coordination and after watching the first fight the other night where he couldn't adjust at all I don't think educated preparation will help him enough.
We'll see, if he wins I'll hold my hands up and admit that he's better than I thought he was.
