WBA Junior welterweight champion, Guyanese, Vicious Vivian Harris, lost his belt in a lackluster performance against an unknown at the Boardwalk in Atlantic City last Saturday Night. The winner, Columbian, Carlos Maussa, earned no fans from his unorthodox style and the punch he landed after the champion went down. Harris blamed his overtraining as the reason for his performance. However, fight fans saw it differently.
Colin Morgan former trainer of another Ex World Champion, Guyanese Wayne Big Truck Braithwaite, also spoke with Muzik Media. The end result is a financial disaster for Harris. He turned down an offer of $750,000 to fight England based WBC 140 pound Champion, Ricky Hatton because he felt he deserved more. Harris reportedly received $70,000 for this loss.
