    I saw it, and it definitely was a robbery. I think it was on the USA channel. BTW, Harold Ledderman was one of the judges who shamefully scored it for a washed up Holmes.

      Maurice Harris was one of my favorite fighters back in teh Tuesday Night fights days.

      He had a real nice skillset.

        It was a very close fight. At the time I didn't think it was a major robbery but Holmes didn't look very sharp.

          Never saw the Holmes fight but Harris was a tidy fighter, i liked his style. Man his fight with Jefferson was a barnburner!

          I think Mo had his fair share of iffy decisions against him so it wouldnt surprise me in a close fight as i hear it was that he got the raw deal against a legend in Larry Holmes

            That fight with Derrick Jefferson was a great fight!

                Harris is only 34 and is still fighting. He went 4-0 in 2010 against mediocre competition.

                  I knew he hadnt retired or at least i thought he was still active. Nice to hear that, howd he look? He was / is one of these fighters with skills waaaay better than their record suggests. Lennox Lewis rated him after having him in camp with him

                    I didn't see his last fight as it was on a PPV card off TV. He beat Nagy Agulilera who had just KO'd Oleg Maskaev, so it was considered an upset. I was shocked that he was only 34 since it seemed like the Holmes fight was 15 years ago.
