Finally, I thought they weren't going to show it. Great fight apparently.

Tennis on at the minute which isn't good. It almost always overruns and sometimes programmes get cancelled. It better not happen here.

Man, what is Holdsworth watching? I thought Harris clearly won that first, he even seemed to rock Urkal a few times.

Steve doesn't go to these fights any more. He commentates from a London studio. If there's a bird knocking around the studio, his commentary suffers.

Notice Holdsworth follow boxrec as the light welterweight rankings.

He's just handing Urkal these rounds, Harris looks dangerous, he's pretty sharp. I can't see Ricky fighting this guy.

Cancel that Hatton vs Harris fight, theirs no way in hell Warren would put Ricky in with a guy who's as sharp as Harris. He looks dangerous as fornicate.

Harris got badly stabbed outside his Brooklyn gym in New York in 2000, which nearly ended his career.

Isn't Harries down for Cotto in September?

Harris throws that right hand with mean intentions. Decent left hook to.

How the feck does Harris make 140? Urkal's been boxing at light-welter since his amateur days (he won Olympic silver in 1996), but looks small at the weight compared to the champion.

Yet another tall thin banger. He's strong as well though, he just pushes Urkal away with his left hand if his jab misses.

Notice Ottke has been teaching Urkal to throw punches on the run and keep throwing to make the opponent look average. And to hold when they get close

Holdsworth's watching a different fight.
