Round One: The home commentary team gave it for Harrison, but I gave it for the visitor. Harrison is cut above his left eye.

Round Two: A competitive fight, both rounds have been close. Harrison probably landed the harder shots in this one and seems to be decoding Polo's style, but he's being outboxed technically.

Round Three: Polo's round. The cut seems to be troubling Harrison, and he's adopting rough house tactics to try and conquer Victor's cute boxing abilities. Harrison gives Polo a large grin at the end, but it's seemingly full of malice.

Round Four: Harrison gets a warning for a low blow, but it's the most decisive round as his brawling style gets through and he registers a few times. The first three were close, this one should be Harrison's on all cards.

Round Five: Polo was badly hurt halfway through, though managed to survive due to his intelligent bobbing defense and Harrison smothering his work. However, it does look like it won't go to the scorecards. Harrison a round up for me, probably two up for the home crowd.

Round Six: Polo adopts offensive tactics and comes back strong. However, he's warned for using his head, which went unnoticed by me. As Harrison's cut is significantly increased this would seem to be borne out. Harrison maybe just a round up.

Round Seven: "You're too far oot!" cries Harrison's corner as he consistently misses the taller Columbian. Polo is warned again for head work, but it's possible that the referee is just overenthusiastic.

Wish I'd remembered to put money on this one...

Round Eight: The home commentators favoured Harrison, but I'd give it to Polo. The deciding factor could be that Harrison is clearly physically stronger and seems capable of KOing Polo. Polo doesn't seem capable of hurting Harrison, though is winning the boxing match.

keepem comin thanx

Round Nine: Polo is the better technician, Harrison the most effective. Harrison shaded this one, making Polo just a round up for me.

Effective = effect of punches, not stylistically effective.

How many times is the commentator gonna say the word cute

Round Ten: Polo for me, possibly Harrison for the home advantage. There's panic in Scott's corner, though, with "What the f*** is he [ineffective cornerman] doing? GET THE ICE BAG!"

looks like thing arent working according to plan

Round Eleven: Polo's round without question, putting him at least two up. Harrison is exhausted, is hurt in the first minute and his left eye is almost closed. If it goes to the card and Polo doesn't win he'll have been robbed.

round 12? .

Round Twelve: Polo raises his arms in Victory, and Harrison does the same. However, you can see Harrison knows.

A decent fight, the decision coming up. Polo DEFINITELY won, Harrison's face is a mess.

Was Harrison off form (first time I've seen him personally) or was Polo just too good? Harrison is covered in blood while Polo is being roundly booed by patroitic Scots in the audience.

Awaiting the announcement. Polo is walking round the ring, Harrison is rueful...

John John Coyle 116-113 for Polo...

omg teh suspense

115-113 for Harrison...

Drawww .

114-114 - a draw, Harrison keeps his title on points! BULLS***! BULLS***! BULLS***!

Harrison LOST NO QUESTION. HARRISON KNOWS IT. THE CROWD NO IT. Polo ripped off again. Polo ROBBED.

An ungracious Harrison addresses the crowd on the mike, thanking "Scotland" but not his opponent.

"He wus buttin me wit tha hid an elbus"

Was he HELL. You LOST.

That was a robbery, polo easily landed the cleaner punches harrisons eye is sealed shut

That's ugly, another one in the books.

i called it lololol

Harrison wants Chi, Chi would put a serious beatin on him

One of these men is about to be robbed.

I'm glad I didn't bet on Polo now... nothing worse than winning a bet and not winning it, if you get my meaning.

He's talking about Barrera and Morales next...

You've got to be kidding me. That's poor...

They said they were looking at all those names but then Maloney said we'll have to go back & look at the tape of this fight and we'll go from there, doesn't sound like they'll go for a big name and if Frank has any sense he'll steer clear of them unless he gets a huge payday and only takes it for the £££ coz he'd get beaten up ;)

I feel quite angry about it. I can understand one imbecile out of three scoring it even on a round-by-round basis, but the guy who had Harrison two rounds up - what fight was he watching?!!!?

I didn't score it myself but my feeling and everyone in my house watching it thought he lost, well outboxed and looked like being put on his back in the 11th by a guy everyone though was washed up, doesn't look good if he fights one of the top boys then does it :eek:

Are you gonna take your Avatar down, Barryboy?

Considering Polo didn't appear to be a heavyhitter, then Scott was in big trouble. He wouldn't be able to live at top class. Stick to Ethiopians who like falling down without hitting you back, Scott.

I think I should really coz I HATE hometown decisions more than anything but fix your ****ing one first and take the S off noo you fool :D

How many times is the commentator gonna say the word cute
Oh, Jim Watt. Knows what he's talking about, but does tend to act like a stuck record when he's got a point to make. Witness the second Brodie-Chi fight. Did you think Injin looked like a bigger weight class, Jim? You should have mentioned it more often, I didn't pick up on it the first fifty times.

..........I think I should really coz I HATE hometown decisions more than anything but fix your ****ing one first and take the S off noo you fool :D :D

I'd give Harrison a slight chance againt Barrera because of the styles but he'd get beat by any of the other feathers.

I dont understand how a man can look so physically fit and claim to work so hard in the gym then look like an old man whilst fighting. IMO Harrison should get a new coach, Harrison snr isnt getting the best out of him.

Who's that playing with her breasts, elveiel? Forget boxing...

Polo's fourth title fight, I've heard he's been the victim of dodgy decisions. However, someone (his wife? I wasn't paying attention) has just been reported as saying this is the worst decision that's gone against him.

Who's that playing with her breasts, elveiel? Forget boxing...

??

She's just another internet hoe, one of the better looking internet hoes but still an internet hoe all the same :D

Let's make a forum all about her. Speak nicely about her, she's a lady.

Harrison is a bum. If he was world class he should have never had any problem with Medina to begin with and now everyone is saying Polo went into his hometown and schooled him.

Polo is not a bad fighter, but I mean come on.

Yes this is twice Polo has been robbed in title fights. He beat Julio Pablo Chacon with ease and didn't get the nod.

i found myself staring at it for so long i forgot what this topic was about and what i was gonna say... umm yeah nice tits, erm post...

I dont think Polo was robbed, it was pretty close with Harrison landing the bigger shots(even though polo ****ed Harrison's eye up)

I have to agree about Harrison ability, i dont think he's a bum but he isnt world class!

If he doesnt leave his father and find a new coach he's going to get a beating by someone. Harrison needs serious ammounts of footwork lessons.

114-114 - a draw, Harrison keeps his title on points! BULLS***! BULLS***! BULLS***!

Harrison LOST NO QUESTION. HARRISON KNOWS IT. THE CROWD NO IT. Polo ripped off again. Polo ROBBED.

:p ANOTHER MAGIC? That's the reason why Harrison and the rest of their fighters doesn't want to fight outside their home :D

Enough respect to Anorak for this excellent thread. And some beeatch was accusing him of posting crap just to get access to the boxing downloads.

It really wasn't that bad.

You make it sound as though it was a one-sided drubbing from bell to bell. It wasn't.

Considering it was your first time seeing Harrison fight, your ignorance is understandable. Most who follow Harrison already know of his limitations, BOTH medina fights exposed his level.

It was a close fight that Polo inched. The challenger always has to BEAT the champion, and receiving a draw was adequate compensation for Polo's effort.

Just be glad they didn't award the decision to Harrison (outright).

i had Harrison up 2 at the end of round 6, then gave polo the rest, close but clear for polo

Here's Manuel Oliveira's scorecards from recent bouts:

Williams vs. Klitschko - Danny scored a KO
Tyson vs. Lewis - Lewis battered
Tarver vs. Jones II - a shutout for Roy, 120-109

So I'm naive for not realising he's crap? And that if I'd known he was severely limited as a boxer I'd have seen the bout differently? Okay.

An across the board draw I would have whinged about, but accepted. But to have Harrison up...

It was competitive, but Harrison lost.

you mean Tarver Jones 1?

I could see how someone would have scored it for Harrison.

Aggression can sometimes sway favour. It may not have been as effective in the second half of the fight, but nevertheless, it was there. Personally I had Harrison losing by 2, but I could have gone either way on a number of rounds.

I'd hardly call Harrison 'crap' though, he's definitely world class. Whether or not you'll ever see him in there with the likes of MAB, EM, JMM or MP is probably now in dispute.

Chi is within his reach though, and if he comes through that then it's likely that the onus will be on him to face one of them.

By the way, are you a Scot?

you mean Tarver Jones 1?No, that's how Medina saw the second.

By the way, are you a Scot?Granted, he was the agressor. No, I'm not Scottish. I imagine if I was, I'd have had Harrison... actually, forget that. Even the crowd knew it wasn't a draw.

I'd call Harrison lower world class. He could compete, but from what I saw last night, there's no way he could mix it with the premier league.

No, that's how Medina saw the second.

Oh **** sarcasm, mah bad lol.

Whatever! Thanks a bunch Anorak! Very good job indeed! :cool:

He's talking about Barrera and Morales next...


He should quit boxing and be a comedian! That's very funny!! Ha-ha... :rolleyes:

this fight made a mockery of harrisson wanting barrera. Barrera would murder him, it'd be an embarresment to british boxing
