The offensive output for either fighter was flat out embarrassing and most of all unprofessional. To me this fight was more about being a real professional than just someone who comes to get a pay day. Neither boxer gave it his all in a fight that looked worse than most sparring sessions. The plain refusal to throw punches undermined the entire sport of boxing and I believe further discredited the two fighters. Win or lose it is the job of every boxer to give it his all and at least try to mount some kind of an offense.
I watched with interest, this advertised crossroads pairing of heavyweight prospects Dominick Guinn and Audley Harrison - and once the curtain dropped with Guinn scoring a unanimous decision, I left with the feeling both are still caught in traffic at the intersection. Opens with both in a careful, feeling out mode - Guinn circling from the outside and Harrison traipsing about some littered minefield - the pace would only quicken slightly after some three stanzas had come and gone.
GUINN DEFEATS LETHARGIC HARRISON BY UNANIMOUS DECISION... by Tom Dickey In a crossroads battle of sorts, heavyweight Dominick Guinn handed British heavyweight Audley Harrison his second straight loss. In a fight between two struggling highly touted heavyweights, Guinn showed that he wanted it more, as he was able to out hustle Harrison in what was mostly an uneventful fight. The fight was the main event on ESPN's Friday Night Fights from the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, California.
