guzman - not that impressive

MightyWarrior · Post by **MightyWarrior** » 13 Feb 2006, 06:06

Yeah I doubt Guzman was too interested in some of his recent non title fights, but he's going to be very interested in grabbing hold of Harrison's WBO belt you'd think.

It looked like the obscure Estrada stunned Harrison once or twice, so if he thinks he can walk right through Guzman he's gonna get a shock I think.

He should take a look at the Sanchez fight for what to expect.

Great fight, really looking forward to it & I hope Scot is ready and I also hope he wins - but this one looks a rarity for a WBO fight: 50/50.

Seen Oliva fight, but Oliva was a very poor opponent for a world title. Can only go by what I have seen, but he looked pretty much the same against Oliva to how he looked against Morales.

We should be rejoicing, a match of this quality, on terrestrial TV live.

Harrison v Guzman is a tossup, it should be a great fight.

Great work by allegedly in getting the fight on, and getting it on ITV.

Sorry Graham but if it was up to Warren or Maloney, this fight wouldn't be happening. This is all down to Harrison himself... Warren wanted Harrison to move up a weight and Maloney says on paper that he didn't want this fight.

I disagree. With this fight, Frank (W) has a perfect opp to bask in glory on ITV live. Sure its a risky fight but if Harrison loses in a close up and down exciting war, his stock goes up, even if he loses the WBO title.

Frank (M) may have not wanted the fight, and Warren may think its riskier but Warren wants this, beleive me.

I don't go along with Guzman having to get to Scot early, esp not with the way Harrison has started tiring late on in fights. I think for Harrison to win this he is going to have to be all over Guzman for the whole fight but I don't think he has it in him to do that anymore and I blame weight making. To go from what he does at the weigh in to what he is in the fight in almost unnatural.

Although I always predict Harrison to lose (and had money on Polo beating him

) so I may be a bit bias, I just think he has looked there for the taking for so long now

Sayin' this fight's a toss up...

Is like sayin' Pacquiao vs. Larios would be a toss up...

And mainly the Mexicans would be sayin' it's a 'toss up'...

Poor analogy, it's Guzman moving up in weight, not Harrison.

Guzman's not moving up in weight...

True, Guzman already fought some thai guy (I think) at 126 on telefutura some months ago...He does not look undersized at 126 but then Harrison is a pretty big guy to be at that weight...I would say a gutsy effort by harrison but Guzman beats him up with sharper and more accurate punching, and stops him on cuts or harrison's corner steps in around the 9th...

Yes he is, he hasn't fought anyone at world level at the weight, which means he is stepping into the unknown. He is also going to be getting in the ring with a welterweight come fight night.

Harrison will weigh around 142 wheras Guzman will enter the ring at 137 ish

Considering the weight advantages he has enjoyed Harrison hasnt really impressed recently.

Hussein had him all over the place. If Guzman catches him like that its over.

Brodie was completely shot from too many batterings and he even got to Harrison early in the first.

IMO Victor Polo could have been awarded the decision over Harrison, though I agree it was very close.

I make Guzman a warm favourite, he will be more comfortable at the weight.

"Harrison throws a lot of punches but let's be honest, he's slow. However, Harrison comes at me is how we will fight. If he wants to slug it out we can do that. If he wants to try and box with me we can do that, too."

Why isn't showtime pickin' the fight up? They've had Guzman and Harrison fights before...

I wanna see Harrison hit the canvas in round 5 on TV not readin' it off a website!

guzman - not that impressive

Hmm...
