Get a tape of him KO'ing Medina (which was about a year before Medina beat Harrison), drawing with Pac or even beating on Victor Polo (and he floored Polo, something supposed wrecking machine Harrison failed to do).
Straight up I've rarely seen a better text book counterpuncher since Ricardo Lopez knocked out Saman Sorjaturong.
If you've only seen him against Jaca then you may be in for a surprise -- I think he's desperate to convince HBO to put him in a big fight, hence the Macho stuff in his last couple.
He shut out Salido (who just beat -- speed consumption aside -- Guerrerro) -- Orlando could not lay a glove on him all night long.
Even if Marquez is fifty per cent of what he was, he's got too much for either of these boys.
Marquez is a very good boxer, who could be the best at the weight, but he did lose a couple of fights ago against Chris John, just because it was held in Indoneasia doesn't mean it was a robbery, i've seen the fight and he just didn't do enough to deserve the title.
The victory over Manuel Medina was a great performance, but that was over 3 years ago, and Marquez isn't the same boxer now, he couldn't keep throwing against Jaca , something he could have done a couple of years ago.
As for being desparate for a big fight on HBO, wasn't it Marquez that turned down a rematch with Pacquiao? then ended up fighting for alot lower money against John, in a fight he lost.

Harrison by spiteful, angry 9th round stoppage.

Anyone know where I could get this John fight?

Marquez may be an imbecile but he certainly didn't lose more than 4 rounds to Chris John..it was a BS decision

Harrison to bash up Cook TKO 1O

My head says Cook, my instinct says Harrison.
I'll go for Harrison to build up an early lead, fade down the stretch and suffer some extremely hairy moments but hang on to win a very close possibly split decision.

Harrison's state of mind seems to be that of a street brawler right now.
His talk is all of blasting Cook away. He's so wound up it's going to be like releasing a coiled spring, but if Cook's still there after 3 rounds I can't see Scott having anything left.
Cook's fight for me. That 9/4 looks a good bet.
