Frank Maloney's words mean very little in truth. Now, Eugene on the other hand, he's a funny guy. And a tough guy. He worked as a minder to Lennox Lewis when Frank handled Lennox's affairs. Many a big guy took one look at little Eugene (he used to be a pro flyweight) and fancied his chances of getting close to Lennox - or getting into an after-fight party.
They soon learned otherwise.
Did you know, Eugene once put a gun to Steve Holdsworth's head!
But that's another story.

:) Good story Bennie
McCoy gets the feeling that if Sedric Fields heard some of the stuff that Holdsworth said about him in the past that he would be pointing a gun in Steve's direction too!

McCoy does agree with Frank on this one though, this may well be Harrisons toughest test to date, cos Abelyan is a young awkward slick southpaw who seems to have tons of confidence, hes also in his prime, & as you know is ranked in the top 10
Hopefully this will be a great fight, as both men have already said they are going to stand toe-to-toe with each other & have a war

Harrison is exciting to watch at times, thats for sure. I think this is a weaker fight for Scott than what Frank is making out. After the Medina fights, I believe they are taking on the WBO 1 as quick as they can. The WBO often let manatorys run on and on.
Before Scott lost to Medina, they wanted the best in the world. I wonder has this made Frank a little Gun shy with Harrison. Or after this fight would he be prepaired to put Harrison in with the elite at 126 pounds?

Frank Maloney's words don't mean much.
I remember after Tyson beat Julius Francis, Maloney gave an aftermatch interview saying that Julius just showed that Lewis will destroy Tyson. tyson doesn't have a chance etc. A few months later after Lewis fired his ass he pulled a 180 saying how Tyson will destroy Lewis etc. Not to mention that he called Wayne Elcock the new Tommy Hearns or something like that, only for Elcock to get banged out in about 60 seconds. He has no credibility in my book.
