Vivian Harris, Former Champ Signs With Golden Boy

[sasnyc]

Vivian Harris?? is this some kind of a joke?
Last time I saw him he was accussing Junior Witter of taking steriods after Witter knocked him the **** out!
What the hell do Goldenboy want him - he'll be sparked again by the first decent guy he meets.

maybe they want to use him as Rickey Hatton's comeback opponent!

Vivian Harris has the skills set to be great, but the focus just is not there.

wow! what a waste of money, i used to like harris until he ran his yap so much and then couldn't even back it up with the sub par opposition, classless. the guy is a underachiever of magnificent proportions............. i really have to question GBP's scouting on this move, unless they're trying to fluff him up to have a younger fighter build his record off of harris's stepping stone of a name status, that could be the long run plan............?????

For all you Vivian Harris Bashers out there, you're all going to be real suprised at what he's going to accomplish!. He has a Top notch trainer in Tommy P, Golden boy has signed him for a 5 fight deal. Vivians been training like a mad man on a mission. He gives ANY 140 pounder out there a real serious problem. I'm sure he will get that championship belt back!

What's with Vivian Harris and the number 7?

Ray Oliviera had 7 losses going in to fight Harris and proceeded to befuddle Harris to hand the native of Guyana his first loss.

In the 7th round against Maussa, Harris got caught by a left hook, struggled to his knees at the count of 7 but never got to his feet.

Also in the 7th round against Witter, Harris landed a left that drove Junior to a corner, then, went in to try and finish the job. Instead, he crumbled from a counter-left hook for the full count.

Ahead in the scorecards in the first fight against Urkal by virtue of a third round KD, Harris started landing low blows in the 7th resulting in his getting a point deduction in the 8th. He nearly lost that fight as it went his way only by MD.

I realize that Harris has a 7th round TKO win over Stevie Johnston-- his only stoppage victory in round 7. But then Johnston was a late sub for Mike Arnoutis.
