Vivian Harris on Maussa

[achillesthegreat]

I've heard people say he weighed 134 pounds. He says he was in tip top shape.

J.S: Just talking about that awful night you had with Carlos Mauser back in 2005. What went wrong there?

V.H: I was in tip-top shape for that fight. I make no excuses. But I was having trouble with my promoters at Main Events. They were stealing from me and not paying me like they should have been, so I was arguing about all that. Main Events dumped me after I lost, though, so I was happy. I got with another set of promoters [Gary Shaw Productions] and they care about me and my family. So it was God's will that I lost to Mauser. He fought a great fight, he had a great camp, whereas I was not right mentally. I had too much on my mind. Also, Emanuel [Steward] only came to camp with me two weeks before the fight, so that wasn't right. I have no complaints really though, I got beaten fair and square.

J.S: He hit you when you were down too, didn't he?

V.H: He did hit me when I was down, yeah. But I have nothing against him. I'm happy for him. I wasn't happy at the time, of course! But I'm looking forward to moving on and the future.

thats funny im sure i read somewhere else he blamed te ref for that loss

[Illmatic]

it was God's will. Now he's going to go home and pray and love the God that made him lose to a clown posing as a boxer.

[nrgetic]

Good that he took the loss well as it was a horrendous performance on his part, absolutely diabolic. He had such a skill advantage but his head was not on the fight at all

His head isnt in the fight no matter who he;s fighting. Lazcano shouldve lost 11-1 to Harris if he didnt fight like such an idiot all the time. No wonder steward stopped working with him.

Vivian lacks discipline - once he gets that - he'll be as good as we know he can.

I remember in that fight by the first couple of punches he threw he was in trouble. He was'nt the same for sure.
