Harris talking tough

LOS ANGELES – Vivian Harris contends that he will be the only boxer with the moniker “Vicious” standing, following his non-title fight over ten rounds with Victor Ortiz on September 18 at the Staples Centre.The former world super-middleweight champion from Guyana has accused Ortiz of lacking courage, after the Mexican appeared to quit in a fight against Marcos Maidana last year.Harris has openly questioned Ortiz’s will to fight, although his opponent has strung together three straight wins since the loss to Maidana.“I am very determined, and nobody is going to stop me, especially no Victor Ortiz,” said Harris in a media conference call on Wednesday. “He has a lot of talent, but you have to believe in yourself and I don’t think he does.”Harris and Ortiz will feature on the undercard of the superfight between “Sugar” Shane Mosley and Sergio Mora.Harris, 32, holds a ring record of 29 wins, including 19 knockouts, four losses, and one draw, while the 23-year-old Ortiz is 27-2-1 with 21 KOs, and is ranked at No.1 by two of the four major sanctioning bodies.
