Sometimes there are fights and performances that are just inexplicable and make zero sense. One such fight, in 2005, saw the WBA light-welterweight champion Vivian Harris defend his belt against Colombian Carlos Maussa, a long-limbed, human wind puppet who appeared unable to throw a straight punch, never mind a correct one. It was, on paper, another of boxing’s great mismatches, with the image of the two squaring off enough to amuse. In one corner you had Harris, his punches stiff, straight, accurate and hard, while in the other you had Maussa, no defence and no idea, his arms hollow, his body starved of muscles.
