    A junior welterweight bout between former world champion Vivian “Vicious” Harris (29-3-1, 19 KOs) and Noe “Platanito” Bolanos (20-4-1, 11 KOs) ended in a no decision on Friday night at the Desert Diamond Casino in Tucson, Arizona. Harris became disoriented and collapsed moments after a hard accidental headclash :40 into round two. Medical personal rushed into the ring to attend to the fallen fighter. Harris was clearly conscious as he was taken from the ring on a stretcher and was later seen sitting up in the dressing room. The ring doctor said Harris will be taken to the hospital for observation.

    Agreed. Never like to see something like that, especially on a guy whose taken the punishment Vivian has.

    Harris has struggled to make weight for years. I surmise that he was likely severely dehydrated, which contributed to his disorientation

    That's what I'm getting worried about a concussion.

    Real nice of the crowd to boo him like that when there was absolutely no gain from him faking it. Yeah sure, Harris is gonna fake nearly passing out against an overmatched guy with 4 losses and in the second round no less. **** that crowd. ****ing scumbags.

    I was at the fight tonight. The sequence of events after his coach whispered into his ear seemed very suspicious.

    Reports says he was sitting up later on talking to team members and medical staff.

    I felt ESPN was making the mood more somber than it really is.
