harrison pulls out

by dunne_and_dusted (U4776944) 06 December 2006
comment on the article

yes you've guessed it according to peter harrison scott has pulled out of the bout because he couldnt make weight therefore vacates the title and new champ is juan manuel marquez. This is not really surprising with this fool seems like he will move up to super featherweight (good luck mate you'll need it guzman will get his revenge) i feel for cook he has been played and will not get his shot that he has dreamed about since being a little nipper, i say harrison should pay compensation and make cook mandotary challenger to marquez.

Scott is obvioulsy ill, I can't imagine anyone would be on here complaining if he'd pulled out of the fight because he has cancer. Alcolholism, Depression and Mental Illness should be seen in the same light. Scott needs help.

I can also only imagine that "bear_with_me" is a Rangers fan, and your comments make you look both bigoted and ignorant.

Frank Warren's web site itself says Nicky Cook will fight

http://www.frankwarren.tv/drill/News/Articles/2006/12/07/text-cook-fights-on-guaranteed-world-shot.html

"An opponent was being finalised today" so as yet un-named.

CLEM_89 - Yours is the most moronic post I've ever seen on this board.

We shouldn't criticise Harrison cos he would "knock our arses out"??? Of course he would! He (was) a world champion boxer!! And he obviously doesn't think twice about assaulting people.

Professional fighters shouldn't be throwing punches outside of the gym/ring. They can really do some damage to an ordinary joe.

And how can you honestly suggest that the media have destroyed Harrison. Would you like to explain how you think they have done this?

And "racist"!? What are you talking about?? Where does racism come in to this?

Harrison will get no sympathy from me. He may be an alcoholic, but he's also a thug. He's had his chances to sort himself out but he has proved he's nothing but an irresponsible "ned" (as they say in Scotland).

He has a lot of apologies to make if he wants to continue with his career.

There is something genuinely wrong with Harrison be it mentally , physically or otherwise.
But whatever it is , it's being held within his camp as they don't want the public to be made aware fully of the situation. Sadly this could very well be the end of Harrison's career. He's no longer visible within the title scene as it is, his comeback all the more difficult.

Stalkerman,

You are right, Harrison does need help. He seemed to enjoy his time in prison whilst in Spain so I reckon putting him away for 12-15 for assaulting a police officer should see him ok.

As for the comment on Harrison at Sellick Park. It's no wonder people think there is a bigotry problem in this country when clowns like yourself attach the word to all comments. Truly you are as bad as the bigots.
