Scott Harrison Opponent named today

[barryboy]

It was confirmed last night that the opponent will be Nedal Hussein 39-2. A decent choice his only losses came to Oscar Larios (Though widely on points) and Pacman by tko10 but I hear he gave Pacman a real tough fight though it was a weight below, Hussein has been weighing around the 130 mark recently so Harrison may not have the weight advantage he usually does when he gets in the ring. Anyone see the Hussein/Pacman fight? how'd it go?

featherweight Champ Scott Harrison will have his opponent for his 5th nov bout named later today(thurs)

The opponent will have known for a week or two already therefore will be in training already and be prepared for the bout within plenty of time.

Just hope its a quality opponent so Scott is allowed to show his doubters that he actually can compete against top opposition.

I would like to see him in with Pacman as Manny is custom built for Scott who would stop him within 6 rounds.

Stop Pac in 6, are you serious? LMAO, tell your boy Scott to fight some live opponents in division first. Let him fight Marquez and if he can past him...oh wait, he won't. Marquez would destroy Scott.

But I do agree, Nedal Hussein will be a tough test for Scott but I think Scott still gets the decision via hometown UD.

Agree about Pac, Marquez etc. but after the b.s. draw Harrison got at home against Polo I think the spotlight will be on the judges not to **** about this time(I hope!)

You only have to look at his record to see he's fought very good opponents. I dont even like Harrison but you have gotta respect that he will fight anyone.

Yeah, thats so true.

There's a big difference between fighting "heard of 'em" fighters and "elite" fighters. I just want to rephrase my statement about Scott, since he has a belt, he needs to fight "elite" fighters and not "heard of 'em" fighters.

"Heard of 'em" fighters are just gatekeepers. Fighters like McCullough, Abelyan, Polo, Brodie, etc are just gatekeepers. If Scott wants to get a name in boxing, he needs to fight fighters like Chi, Juarez, Pac, Marquez and if you're getting the trend, they made their names appearing in American Boxing(HBO & SHO).

I know it's kindda sad, an average fan will only heard of certain fighters when they appear in big American networks but that's the way it is.

Pac was knocked down Hussein's jab, can you believe that LOL. But we all know him as relentless punching machine, he caused a cut on Hussein and the ref stopped the fight.

Pac's chin was very much underestimated when he fought the three popular Mexican fighters especially with the Morales fight. Pac haters always say "If he was dropped by Hussein's jab, imagine what would Morales' overhand right do to him." LOL @ those haters.

Thanks for that.
And for your previous post, fair enuff I hear what your saying and I ain't a big Harrison defender but it's the notion of if people haven't heard/saw a certain fighter in action then he's labelled as **** that I don't care for. I'd like to see him fighting the elite in the division as they would be action packed while they lasted(not all of them winnable, Chi I would favour Scott to beat but the rest would paste him imo) Joan Guzman is his mandatory and the match is being mooted for early next year (If he gets past Hussein of course!)so would Guzman be a satisfactory opponent for you even though he's not elite?

[rudy]

No Guzman would not be suitable he is just talked about as a great prospect even though a former world champ he has to fight Marquez next to prove his is a great champion
