    Ironically almost exactly a year later Harris would faceplant Jimmy Thunder with a very similar overhand right in what was considered a big upset at the time.

    Did you think Harris was out after the first knockdown? He rose from the dead like The Undertaker!

    Dude was under 6 feet and almost 300 pounds at his highest weight. What a waste. He had a ton of talent and clearly some power as well. Wouldn't say he was any worse than someone like Bennt, and look what he accomplished with a little luck.

    He wasn't bad actually. Any idea why he retired when he did?
