By Keith Idec - Vivian Harris doesn’t talk like someone who has won one of his last four fights.
The former junior welterweight world champion projects the confidence of a fighter who has been much more successful than Harris has been since he out-pointed Juan Lazcano in a WBC elimination match 3½ years ago in Las Vegas. The Brooklyn-bred contender from Guyana dismissed Victor Ortiz as an ill-prepared opponent while promoting their 10-round, 140-pound fight tonight in Los Angeles.
“I don’t think there is anyone going to stop me, especially Victor Ortiz,” Harris, 32, said. “You know what I mean? He’s a great young fighter coming up, but I think that he has a lot of doubts when it comes to himself. I don’t really think that he’s confident when it comes to beating people, getting there, to be where he’s supposed to be.
“He has a lot of talent, don’t get me wrong. But you have to believe in yourself and I definitely don’t think he does. [Tonight] I’m definitely going to push him to that limit because I’m coming to win, like I always do.” [Click Here To Read More]
