    I thought he looked at his best ever against a bloke who gives most people serious trouble.
    Garcia can fight, rated him quite highly for a while. Not the biggest puncher but great work rate and good movement. He has tremendous work rate.

    Harrison boxed his nut off with ease, I didn't expect that at all.
    Maybe for 6 rounds. Harrison would be the king of 6 rounders.

    Harrison has suffered some tough defeats but he is a gritty guy to come back from them.
    If he can keep that focus, I think he is a champ again real soon.

    I don't think his chin is that bad tbh, just appears to have stamina issues and loses focus too much.

    If Harrison had a chin and better stamina he would have been the undisputed champion at 154.. But every fighter has flaws and he’s performed good despite of his..

    Tony Harrison is still an elite 154er.

    Tony vs. Fundora is the fight to make.

    Tony skillwise is as good if not better than anyone at 154 but hes also a bit fragile if he had a better chin and was more durable he would be a pfp level fighter imo.

    As long as Lubin recovers I think that Harrison v Lubin is a good match up both good boxer's but a bit fragile.

    This made me laugh. I thought he was going to go full Larry Holmes and drop kick him. The fact that Harrison was wearing sandals makes it even more amusing

    I would love to see him fight Tim Tszyu next. He went on record saying that he's interested.

    I like the way hes bounced back from every setback.

    Gotta respect that.

    Harrison's problem is and always has been his chin and gas tank. It can be beaten out of him. But if you can't beat it out of him, it's gonna be a real uphill battle against him.
