    Defiant Harrison vows to fight on

    Audley Harrison says he has no intention of retiring despite losing his second successive fight on Friday.
    Harrison's points defeat to America's Dominick Guinn in California followed his much-derided loss to fellow Londoner Danny Williams last December.


    "I've got to re-galvanise myself," said the 34-year-old Harrison. "I wasn't hurt at all at any time, I just didn't put my foot on the gas.

    "I've just got to go back to the drawing board. This ain't over yet."

    Harrison, who won gold at the 2000 Olympics, has now lost two of his 21 professional encounters.

    But Harrison still believes he has what it takes to become heavyweight champion of the world.

    "I've got to keep working on it," said Harrison. "I'm close, but I just haven't come over the mountain yet.

    "Frank Bruno went for world titles three or four times and eventually he got there."

      Audley Harrison is about as finished as they come. He looked really garbage against Dominick Guinn, and at 34 he can't really rebuild after 2 consecutive losses. I was calling this fight a mismatch because of Guinn's domination of taller, less mobile fighters. You can't stand in front of Guinn and dominate him. Guinn has struggled against guys like Toney, Barret, and Lyakohvich because they were able to move and show different angles. Against guys like Grant and Dokiwari, who were taller, less athletic fighters, he looked like the best American heavyweight since Rid**** Bowe. Harrison was simply too defensive and didn't jab enough, he was in trouble from the opening bell.

        Harrison was aweful. Based on that fight I can't imagine him beating anyone with any skill at all.

            I was talking about Friday's fight against Guinn, which was televised live here on ESPN2. Unfortunately I missed the Williams fight. I didn't mean to judge Harrison's career or potential; I just thought he looked a little clueless on Friday.
