Feelings on Vivian Harris?

[DiegoFuego]

Harris is highly skilled, but he's also a headcase who will cave in to pressure fighters or guys that can take his best shot and keep coming.

[oldgringo]

Harris gets worked by Hatton, Castillo or by any of those top guys at 147. He has some high points, but ultimately too many lapses to get to the very top.

[Chipper]

He can't hang with the elite guys. He wouldn't be able to make the right ajustments in a fight with them if he needed to, he's too stubborn.

Is he fighting Witter next?

I don't know what you're looking for.....

Lazcano is as tough a customer as you'll find for that type of fight. He hit Harris with a barrage of low blows, elbows and headbutts and made the fight ugly. Harris made a statement in that he could stand and trade with him...and even though he was inactive he was getting hit and not backing down. The minute he took the fight outside...he did what he was supposed to do.

I think if he wasn't trying to prove a point....he would have stopped Lazcano in the middle rounds after pot shotting him from the outside. Styles make fights and I don't think anyone can look impressive against Lazcano..but whatever. If you aren't impressed that's your opinion.

That's my point.. Lazcano made him fight ugly? Why wouldn't Harris fight his fight.. everytime Harris keep that distance, no question, he can't lose the fight.. it seemed through ****iness, he sunk down and fought at that close, close distance just to prove something and it cost him many rounds that he could've easily taken otherwise..

and i know his intention was to make the statement that he could stand and trade, but he failed at that, miserably... just look at the close scores..

i completely agree that he would've taken the fight had he fought his fight.. maybe im just a bit disapointed that he'd let himself get sucking into a type of fight that obviously doesn't suit him

In short, i'm not sure he'd get "blown out" by ANY fighter, but against the best at 140 and 147, i don't like his chances because of the choices he makes in the ring

No way!
Herman N. was working with Castillo pretty well and I feel that Harris is wayyy better than Herman N..

As for Hatton, it depends on the one that shows up. But it's a closer fight than you might think.

Is he fighting Witter next?

I hope he fights Witter and beat him, i think too many people are starting to over rate Witter - but to be fair i haven't seen Witter fight since his fight with Judah.

Hes a good fighter with plenty of skills. He just seems to have problems listening. He might be too confident for his own good, and he doesnt seem to have a lot of heart.

Hatton TKOs Harris.

Ngoudjo or however the **** you spell that crazy name presented Castillo with a much different look than HArris would though.

^^^ was in that tight defensive shell and was effective with his short punches inside. Harris would be outside for the most part, slangin that long right hand and coming back with the left hook.

The long layoff obviously affected Castillo a little bit. He was rather sluggish...I think we'll see him better than that in the future. Once HArris saw that he couldn't merc out Castillo with his power he'd get discouraged. Castillo would take Viv right out of him gameplan....he'd eat that ribcage right up.
