Vivian Harris TKO7 Stevie Johnston... Vivian Harris was too tall, too strong and too prepared for ex-lightweight champion Stevie Johnston. In the main event of HBO's Boxing After Dark telecast from Santa Ynez, California, the 5'11" Harris floored the 5'5" Johnston a total of four times and had him cut over both eyes before the referee rescued Johnston from further punishment. It was Harris' first major win (he also won a tune-up) since losing his WBA 140-pound title to Carlos Maussa a little more than a year ago. He improves to 27-2-1 while Johnston, a relatively late replacement for Mike Arnaoutis, drops to 39-4-1 and now has a tough decision to make about retirement. source: HBO Boxing After Dark
