Crazy, I know, but people are talking about this matchup. A pointless fight for Ricky to take tbh. No need for him to face Harrison...http://www.worldboxingnews.net/news...up-for-june-ricky-burns-world-title-shot.html
He had two fights in 2012, but I never saw them. I really don't want them to make this fight. Surely they can get an opponent who deserves a crack at Burns!
harrison should hang out with pavlik at a pub while burns fights rees. then broner could fight someone worth watching.
I guess it might sell some tickets in Glasgow. I just googled Harisson, apparently the cousin he was in that brawl in a Malaga brothel with has been stabbed to death. I wonder if Scott will even stay on the rails long enough to get a big fight
If Gavin Rees wasn't facing Broner this weekend, himself vs Burns would have been a pretty good matchup to make.
A family friend used to stay near Harisson and he took a package off the postie off him a few years back without knowing who he was; took it round and Scott was sitting, drinking super brew in the dark of a living room with no furniture with a bunch of junkie & gangster looking cunts with no teeth, chib scars etc. Scott invited him but Gerry made some excuse and got the fuck out of there. Apparently it was proper grim
Scott should have been a major international star in boxing beginning about 15 years ago. I was very impressed by him after watching him batter tough Wayne McCollough, and he wowed the U.S. boxing crowd in those early internet days off of such a dominating performance. Showtime loved him as he had such a crowd-pleasing style, and it is a real boxing tragedy that he had no control over the booze and his temper. He should have made fortunes in fights vs. Barrera, Morales and Hamed.
