I assume you mean by KO, because with the massive difference in workrate Audley wouldn't have a hope in hell of winning a decision.
I think Brock would beat Harrison 10 times out of 10 personally.
I think Harrison has more in his locker than he has shown, he is naturally cautious but if he's pressured into a higher workrate then I think he has it in him to raise his game.
Interested in seeing who they put him in with next, from what he has been saying it appears they are ready to really step it up now.
It would be a very intriguing fight - not sold on Brock at the top level, I think his punch resistance will be his down fall - hurt by Etteine, dropped by McCline.
He is a tough fighter with character, but the big punchers like Klitchsko, Rahman will KO him.
However, Harrison isn't in that league of power but is a big lad and he could control the fight.
The thing is, if his strength/size/power isn't enough to control the fight he could be in big big power.
I think the first 4 rounds will be critical. If Brock can get inside and take his power easily, he will win by a late stoppage.
I've just watched the Wiggens bout, and the americans were not impressed with Harrison, they started booing half way through the 1st round, as the action was slow, the way Wiggens bailed out after the 4th looked a bit bad to the crowd as well. Although he had just been floored, and didn't look like he was going to get back into the fight.
The commentators were calling for Harrison to throw more shots and take some risks, James Toney was slating him for the same reasons in the studio as well.
Looks as if Harrison has some way to go to win over the american public

This is where I have never been a believer in Audley. I predict that when he is put under serious, quality pressure for the first time in his pro career, he'll be in deep deep turd.
If he proves me wrong and answers the potential crisis with a sustained counter attack which doesn't leave him exhausted then I'll take my hat off to him for once.

Whatever the answers to all the remaining questions about Harrison - and there are plenty - we should hopefully have them over the next year or so.
In virtually all of all Audleys fights he has taken the first round or two to suss out his opponent and to see what he brings to the table.
The American public boo virtually everyone, they never took to Lennox Lewis and accused him of being over cautious, which is rubbish, I reckon they didn't like him because he wasn't a yank.
I expect another Wiggens, Davis, Austin type opponent, maybe Gil Martinez, Zuri Lawrence or Charles Shufford. At this rate he can rack up every sub standard American Heavyweight ever to have appeared on Eurosport
Audleys thought on last Thursday win over Wiggins and the future
Yo Fight Fans!
Thursday night was an excellent win for me. I stated prior to the fight that I wanted to be the first person to stop Robert Wiggins legitimately and I came true with my promise. It is especially pleasing given the fact that Wiggins took Monte Barrett and DaVarryl Williamson the full distance when he fought them. In my view, that places me right in the heavyweight mix especially when you consider that Barrett has just fought a world title eliminator and that Williamson is a number 1 ranked contender. So I think my performance puts me up there and I think I should be ranked highly now. As for the future, I am ready to fight anybody in the top 15.
I thought it was a disciplined and controlled performance on Thursday. I felt comfortable throughout the night. My training has been superb and I think stopping Wiggins showed that the things that I have worked on with Thell and Kelvyn paid off.
Wiggins was trying to get forward and trying to make a fight of it but my jab was working well and much better than last time out. He is a rough tough guy but I was able to hold him off with my jab and my feints and I think it worked as he found it very difficult to get close to me. I wanted him to eat some jabs early and he ate some really good ones but as the fight progressed, I was picking him off at my own pleasure and it was only a matter of time before I hurt him. He couldn’t get past my jab and kept walking onto my left hand which took his steam away every time he came forward. I had been working on a lot of things to do on the inside but as he couldn’t get past my jab I didn’t get the chance to utilise these tactics. Then, late in the fourth I was able to catch him with a strong clean left and that put him down. Once he got up, I was able to open up and unleash combinations as I looked to end the fight. I smelt blood and I finished the job. The round ended and saved him from a further knockdown, but he wasn’t able to continue after that. Although the crowd want action all the time they seemed pleased at how the fight ended and were impressed with the knockdown and happy with the finish. Robert Wiggins is not known to quit and I made him do just that so I am very pleased with my performance.
I think that I am the best finisher in the heavyweight division already but I am always going to take my time, figure out my opponent and then take him out. I am not looking to take someone out in the first round unless they make a mistake. I honestly think that when I land my left hand on any heavyweight they are going to feel it. But it isn’t just about power. It is also about silky skills and technical ability and I have those as well as the obvious power that I have displayed when finishing my last two bouts.
My knuckles are slightly bruised but that is heavyweight boxing! Wiggins is tough and he has a tough head and I was hitting the top of his head a lot but it is nothing worse than just knocking your foot on the door and certainly is nothing long term.
As you might be aware, I am taking a short break this week during which time I will get married in Jamaica. My fiancée Raychel is happy that I have no cuts or bruises on my face and now the fight is over, we cannot wait for our special day to arrive!
Thanks for all your support and for continuing to check the website for all my news. Once I am married, I will be straight back to training and I hope to be fighting again soon and keeping active as I push forward and move upwards.
