Audley weighs in.....

249 lbs - nice consistent weight 5lbs lighter than last time, his 3rd lightest ever. Seems to be around the 250 lbs is his desired weight as only once since his 4th fight has he fluctuated 5lbs either side of 250.

Wiggins is 220 lbs, giving Harrison a 29 lbs edge..... somethings never change.

There is a big of Audley on fightnews, I hope that one of those in the shot isn't his opponent becuase again he looks weight devisions higher than them all.

I was so proud when Aud won gold, now its just a joke.
the man has bags of talent but fighting crap all the time. I know money
talks, we faithfully tune in hoping to see something new, as yet nothing
I love this sport so come on Aud how about using pride and honour
and fight for the people who after all pay the bills.

29 pounds is a huge difference, maybe splitting the Heavyweight division isn't such a bad idea after all, i mean you wouldn't let a Light Welter in with a Middleweight would you?

Not that simple, cannot look at absolute weights, percentages would be more accurate... still its the heavyweight division and Wiggins isnt that small....

As you get bigger the weight difference is less an issue

Audley had a decent result though last night!!!

I agree Knockout, i was just a little perplexed by the sound of 29 pounds, it's an awful lot of weight but as you say i suppose the big guys can negate it better.

wtf is everyone on about with this weight thing?

What, so you want audley to step in with another 250 lb lardass like julius? Or hulking towering monstrosity of ineptitude like julius long?

I don't understand. Fill me in on all these bulky 250 lb heavyweights he could be fighting.

I wasn't referring to the weight in relation to Audley just in general about the weight differences amongst fighters in the Heavyweight division that's all.
