Wow, lots of points to address;
SOLD13R OF LOV3, I used Bruno and Naz as examples of where sportsman have been built up by the press and the public then smashed down by the same people. I could have just as easily used actors or popstars as examples.
RuaraidhJTBC,
I understand what you’re saying, but I do think that Harrison (rightly or wrongly) believed he could cause an upset. Can you imagine what the press would have been like if he’d come out with “yeah, I know I’m going to get a thrashing”? I don’t think he would have taken the fight if he thought it would have gone the way it did.
Knobsy,
I didn’t and haven’t called anyone a coward for not filling in their profile. I respect your right not to. I praised Brian’s comment because it has stirred up a good healthy debate. If Harrison is as you say “a journeyman put in the top level” then surely he should be given kudos for being brave enough to step up? I don’t think there’s too many journeymen Thai Boxers who would take a step up like that and take on someone who’s so obviously out their class and if they did then win, lose or draw they would receive lavish praise.
My question still stands (to everyone) about if it was someone from your club, do you think your reaction and feedback would be more tempered and balanced or would you still say exactly the same? Again not a dig at anybody, I’m just curious.
