Prime Scott Harrison vs Ricky Burns

Moog what percentage of Scott lost to Walsh? Just curious.

Regardless of you think he won, I think the overwhelming majority who saw the fight would have agreed Walsh won it.

 

you not think ring rust would be a massive issue and hed get old manned ? a lot of folk let there heart rule there head id love to see scott back at the top but i got caught out with the same hype with Ricky Hatton thinking hed be back in his best and it just wasnt there no more , timing movement etc

 

50-60%, he never lost a round in first half of fight, and to be honest its weird most people in England I spoke to thought Scott won, big majority, in pub I watched it in Glasgow everyone thought he won, and on internet most I have heard from think Walsh won. Walsh had to go to hospital after fight to get his face stitched up

 

Difference is Scott I honestly believe kept himself in better shape than Hatton, and Ricky used his face to block punches to often so he took more punishment. Scott was very good defensively and had better footwork so that helps coming back. Ring rust would still be an issue, but fact hes been full time in gym for 18 months or so will mean not as much as if he just went into a gym for a training camp

 

Yeah you could be right

 

It was a close fight and nowhere near as wide as the judges had it.
Scott did well for only having a few weeks notice and only if he had more time to prepare for Walsh's style then it would have been a different story.
A prime Scott Harrison had problems at times with southpaws (Polo and Estrada) and Walsh's switch hitting style would give most lightweights in Britain problems, so I'm not buying this "Scott is finished" business going on his fight with Walsh.

 

Ryan as a Featherweight Scott had a massive advantage at times with the size difference from weigh in to fight night , do you think that at lightweight hes maybe losing that advantage and could he do SFW ?

 

well june 27th then billy aye, just in time for scott to get his license back

 

Don't see Scott being on the show mate. Scott hopefully gets his license back and fights an appropriate opponent.
World honours are a thing of the past now thinking differently is misleading himself and his fans imo but good luck to him

 

In all honesty mate I don't think the board would even sanction a fight between the two right now there you go

 

If Scott has a license board would having no objections as a non title fight

 

The only objections are coming from the Burns camp.

 

Scott is a bigger name, has had a more successful career than anyone Ricky has ever fought, and is Scottish and Camp Burns are running for the hills Scott's an expert at running up and down. Biggest fight possible in Scotland, people wont forget who turned it down

 

aye mon billy dinna be a poof mate.

 

This is the same camp who fought Nicky Cook who had been retired for 2 years, had a serious injury, a guy who was never world class and a fight fans never wanted, and they say Scott is not worthy lol
