Audley's take on his performance on his website

"Yo Yo,

Happy to get another win and move on to the next stage of my career. A rough, tough opponent, who has only been stopped legitimately by Juan Carlos Gomez, was always looking like a distance fight and I was happy to get the rounds.

A solid victory over a guy whose defence was major tight and game plan was all about not getting tagged by my crisp shots. He was always tucking into a shell, avoiding my shots. With 50 fights under his belt, he has learned to do that well. I started to drop my hands and let him hit me clean (I felt he couldn't hurt me), as I wanted him to get confidence letting his right go, so I could walk him onto my cross, but he was quickly into defence and got away or came close and sat on my chest.

I thought my boxing was good and I tried to keep my work rate steady throughout the fight. I mixed up punches to head and body and felt a little off with my timing, which ultimately saved him from eating a clean cross or my uppercut.

I sometimes feel there is a conspiracy against me which only strengthens my resolve to succeed.

Fact: Arias fought Tares Bidenko in his last fight before me and went the distance. Bidenko is ranked 4 in WBA. Arias fought Sinan Samil Sam and lost on points. Sam is ranked number 12 by WBA. Arias was stopped in four by Juan Carlos Gomez in a bout he protested bitterly about when getting stopped. Gomez is ranked WBC number 2. He also fought Owen Beck who was ranked and 18-0 at the time and went the distance. He stopped one time prospect Steffen Nielson in 3 rounds when he was 21-1 (other loss to Julius Francis who scored an upset win in 6).

His weight was 212 for this fight which is 7 pounds lighter than his heaviest weight, suggesting he was in shape and prepared to go the distance. Tell it like it is and cut me some slack.

I thought the crowd was harsh to be booing from the 2nd round, but I stayed focused and stuck to the game plan. Styles make fights, these guys with quick hands, tight defence, who are small in stature, are not ideal opponents for me in terms of re- building my image. I'm disappointed that this guy was the choice. I didn't even get a video of him, so had to take a few rounds to look at him, before I went to work. I'm prepared to fight the guys they want me to fight, but guys like this, it is hard to look good against, so you just have to get the victory and move on.

I'll be back in the ring before December against a more meaningful opponent and intend to be sharper and busier. In reality, this is my first real contest since February 2007. I give myself a B -

Onwards and upwards towards that title

'Yes I Can'

A Force "

Yep trying to wheel out the 'I have'nt seen any videos on this guy' excuse.

Regardless of this he should of been a bit busier, and should of broken him in the later rounds.

Apparently Frankie Warren is in talks with Dan Goossen about matching James Toney against Harrison.

James Toney??

Is this Warrren's version of Brewster's Millions?

Does he want a stable left by Xmas?

JT is a bad match up for Harrison.

He is a bad match up for ANYONE!

I'd be there in a heart beat.

I agree with Audley that the crowd were extrememly harsh (as they further proved with their reaction to Khans defeat). Anybody that was expecting Audley to blow Arias away had unrealistic expectation IMO, he's a tough experienced operator with a very tight defence.

I haven't subjected myself to watching this fight for obvious reasons but i'd guess that the crowd probably booed because of Audley's pawing punches, lack of workrate and commitment to taking the fight to his overmatched opponent. Juan Diaz never takes opponents out early but he doesn't get booed does he?

No-one expects much from Audley but i think him being served up to Toney would be good for the old man for a last hurrah. The sight of a 5 ft 9, overweight 40 year old having his way with a 6ft 5 natural 17.5 stone HW would be a good spectacle to go out on. That's the only way i can imagine myself buying a ringside ticket for a Fraudley bout.

so he either didn't watch the video's or he's lying.

haven't seen this yet.

sounds like i didn't miss much.

same old claptrap from audley.

he needs to get serious and take chances in fights.

he ain't gonna beat any of the top boys by fighting in his shell all night.

So he can put JC back in it? Boom, Boom.

I'm just trying to think which character Dean Powell could play? The guiding star perhaps.

Don King would obviously be the mule that carried Mary, Mick Hennessy would have to be one of the shepherds as he's guided his Froch by night.

and got lost.

If Audley isn't liking the fights with the small guys with tight defences then I think James Toney would be the last fight he shoul take.

I think we all know Audley's next fight will be on the next Khan undercard, probably against Williams, Sprott or Skelton.

DavidPayne · Post by **DavidPayne** » 10 Sep 2008, 07:58

I'm beginning to wonder whether Warren can RISK Harrison losing?

One thing about Audley though, he doesn't give up.

Audley, Audley, Audley

rhino222 · Post by **rhino222** » 10 Sep 2008, 14:26

cut audley some slack boys, how can he be expected to look good against an opponent of which it was impossible to get videos for....... perhaps the self opinionated 6 ft5 'skin off a rice pudding' punching lump of gold medalled arrogant twat should stick to dvd's.... as no one deals in videos anymore.

so.....audley was telling the truth, he had dvd's not videos !!!!!

Don't mock the big man; them shots had serious flavour.

Frankie Brewster can't use Peter Buckley, according to the rules.
