WBO feather title

I see the WBO have nominated Juan Manuel Marquez v Terdsak Jandaeng for the Interim WBO feather title.
So where does that leave Harrison if he can get back into the ring? will he have to face the winner of this title first or will he be allowed to make a couple of defenses of his WBO title first.

Also has Maloney given up being Scotts manager? just thought i saw something along those lines yesterday.

Wow Harrison against JMM would be some fight, I wouldn't fancy his chances much to be honest. The interim fight is not until August so he's got plenty of time. I fancy they'll let him have a contest or two before facing the interim champ, more sanctioning fees!

Every time I hear the name 'Terdsak' it makes me laugh, how unfortunate. His nickname should be 'The shitbag.'

Cannot see Harrison beating Marquez in a month of sundays, totally wrong style for him. Marquez is not only tough as nails, he's fast, mobile, and worst of all, a pretty spiteful puncher. Would be like the Polo fight except far worse. Marquez is probably a little on the slide now, but still should have way too many wrinkles for Harrison.

Of course, it's debatable whether or not Harrison is going to actually be in the ring again.

If Harrison comes back his best bet is probably to go up to 130 and perhaps a title bout with Alex Arthur... but things don't look good right now... seems he may be on the verge of heading the same way as Benny Lynch...

Hasn't Harrison been calling JMM out fot about a year now, saying he wants this fight ???

If so then i'd suspect that Harrison would be fairly happy about this interim situation.

Obviously, the first concern is that Scott gets himself sorted before anything else. However, should he return to the ring in good health, JMM (who I would expect to win against Terdsak) would be an absolute nightmare for him. I just cannot see him winning that fight. However, going on past WBO 'Interim' rules, he'll be fighting the loser of a JMM-Jandaeng before he takes on the winner. (See the Calzaghe/Veit/Salem shambles)
