Can Harrison win the rematch?

I understand Scot Harrison's rematch is scheduled for the 29th November. I imagine he learnt alot from the first bout in July but I still feel he has alot of work ahead of him if he intends to win this fight. Any predictions?

Harrison to regain the title on points. I'm going along with assumption that there were problems that night (other than Medina boxing well) and we'll see a sharper Harrison.

Harrison can't fight any worse than he did last time, but in saying that, Medina just might have the style to beat him every night of the week.
I fancy Harrison to gain revenge.

When I saw the title of the thread I thought "Hmmm maybe an Audley Harrison - Lisandro Diaz rematch might be closer, hopefully he can pull it off again".

Just because he has a world title rematch finalised for November with Manuel Medina, doesn't mean Scott Harrison has escaped the pub assault he was connected with in August, which left a man with a broken jaw and nose.
The 26-year-old Scot was quizzed by police after Colin Reid was beaten up in East Kilbride.
A police spokesman said yesterday: "A 26-year-old is the subject of a report to the fiscal.'' In other words, a file has been sent to the public prosecutor and charges may follow.

I agree with Bennie here, I don't think Harrison can fight much worse and also I'm doubt that Medina can fight much better.

I say this time Harrison gets it correct and wins a tight, but correct, decision. It might even be as close as one or two rounds, but I'm sure Harrison will be somewhat sharper in November .

It's the style aspect of this fight that worries me. Although Harrison appeared to be way below par last time, I'm just concerned that Medina will stick and move like last time and do enough to get a narrow points victory. However, that's the pessimist in me.

The optimist says that he'll do a Marquez on Medina and stop him late.
