sounds like he was unimpressive again, with his lack of workrate.
Anyone remember when Audley was out on his feet against Mathew Ellis? If he steps in with brock or peter he will get outworked and maybe KO'd. And I don't rate those two at all. I don't think the american fans will care for any more stalling, it's finally time for him to back up his words. He has no more excuses.
I hope he does it, but I can't see it happening.

He's a funny case, really, Olympic gold medallist, darling of the media, and he has about 5 fans left in the world now.
He's alienated himself over here and he's now trying to win over a country which has never been won over by a British heavyweight, and he's trying to do it through a career path that is, let's say, prudent.

Lets be fair, he was shaking off a fair bit of rust, and sounds like he was in fair nick coming in at 249. wiggins isn't a world beater, but he was a solid enough prospect with some good wins, and known for being tough.
Sounds like Audley was probably finding his form, and once he got honed in decided to put some shots together, I think this is a good performance, but now he has to put some fights together and get in the picture.

Thats some funny shit!!
He stops a fighter who has been in with (and beaten) decent opposition and who has never been stopped, Audley beats him in 4 rounds and he was still unimpressive (a reality check is needed IMO)
As regards to Audley being out on his feet against Ellis
(The American fight fans boo 90% of fights, I don't see why they bother going to watch in the first place)

The only time Harrison will have been out on his feet versus Matt Ellis will have been when he saw Matt's girlfriend - she was sitting in front of me and my brother-in-law - and she was hot.
Actually, I have that wrong, I saw her when Ellis was on the undercard of Harrison v Draskovic - she was still hot...
Or I dunno, they all blur into one...but the over-riding memory was a) Dean Francis shouldn't have been allowed to box and b) Ellis' missus was fit.

Sounds like a good win for Fraudley, i hope he comes through and wins the world title but i remain pessimistic at this point...however i think stopping big Bob Wiggins is actually a good win for him. Now he needs to keep the momentum going and start fighting more active opponents on a more regular basis.

Horrible fight by both guys
Audley wins the first 2 rounds with a few jabs and a few left hands. Wiggins does nothing. In the third round Wiggins lands a right hook and wobbles Audley for a split second. Audley lands more punches in the round. Audley lands a weak left hand in the 4th round and Wiggins goes down. Wiggins gets up and Audley tries to flurry. the sad part is most of the punches miss. Wiggins goes back to his corner and his corner wants to stop the fight ? obivously this was a payday for Wiggins and nothing more. Retire you waste of space. We know why Audley won't fight anybody who might actually land a power punch on him, because the fight will be over.
Fox Best Damn Sport Show is turning to shit with all these loser fighters.
At least Glen Johnson is the next guy to headline a main event. He is a real fighter.

Oh no, I thought Wiggins came with some ambition in this one. He probably shat it when he saw how fit/big Harrison was at the weigh-in - a big difference to Tshabalala.Spreadking wrote:Horrible fight by both guys

And I agree with you about that show. The sight of one of the Goosen's walking around with that permament fake half-smile, while Riddick Bowe drooled into the mic 'we're going all the way to the top' or whatever, was truly nauseating.

Ah, good old Audrey. I've been away and just heard about it first in snippets yesterday. The Times described it as the best performance yet and even the BBC seems to have tones down it's mandatory butter-resentment jibe in every internet article it does on him now.
No doubt the height factor has paid well again, but he's sounding fit and healthy now, and A1 news is that he opened up within half an hour this time.
Nice to hear a bit of corroboration from himself/Goossen about trying to make a fight with Brock. If there are any doubters still out there (you should all be locked up) you at least can't Harrison is now at a point where one or two fights would set him up for a title shot.

Brock is ordinary but with a good workrate, audley is talented but ponderous.
I don't think Brock has the skills to find regular success on the inside vs audley unless audley sits on the ropes with his gloves over his ears and lets brock work, which in this instance I don't think he'd allow.
Kind of tough to call though.
