Audley - McCline

Phenomenal-Nutrition · Post by **Phenomenal-Nutrition** » 19 Sep 2005, 06:54

Aparently McClines accepted Audleys challenge and they just need him to sign now. Is this too big a step up too quick for Audley? Obviously he needed to step up before his 34th birthday. McCline is the sort of immobile opponent you'd hope AUdley could take to school. Should be pretty interesting as Audleys countering ability will come into play more.

For the first time we could have an interesting Audley fight. If he takes this on good on him. He'd defo be in danger of going tired against McCline, who at least can put impressive bursts of punches together.

We'll see.

Not having a dig at you personally phenomenal, but people have been slagging off the smallness and slowness of Audrey's steps for 4 years. Now he may be fighting a McLine-type opponent (ie. McLine) are people going to start saying he's not ready for it?

McCline is a hell of a lot better than anyone Audley has faced to date, it's a big step up, and a dangerous one. McCline has a serious dig when he uses it, and Audley's not been in with any punchers of note. If it goes wrong I can see Audley being carried to his dressing room.

This fight will not happen.

I cannot see Audley wanting to fight someone like McCline. It's just chit chat.

McCline will beat Harrison.

Agree with you, Audley hasn't got the minerals to take this fight. He will big it up and then pull out because his ridiculous demands for purses are not met! He will probably go on record as saying McCline is not good enough for him!

Lets not forget how easily Cedric Boswell was outboxing McCline, Audley probably fancies he can win this walking backwards all night.

All depends how much McCline can take out of Audley's engine each time he tries to mount a big attack.

Audley could well win this fight, but the step up in class is huge and its not a wise move IMO. I'm not heeping praise on McCline, its just that Audley's opponents have been piss poor.

The idea is to progress through the levels, not fight Z.Y.X oponents then jump to C.B.A oponents.

But, what could i care, i've been wanting Audley to hurry the fcuk up for a long time now so, if anything, i'm glad he's finally stepping into real world level.

I think the Americans think that McCline is a better fighter than he actually is because he is a big guy who can KO people, Harrison is also a big guy but is a lot faster, in my view this is the perfect way for Harrison to get credit in the US but without too difficult a fight.

I really hope this fight gets made, its the step up in class that everybody has been saying Audley needs to make and its the type of opponent Audley is craving.

It'll come as no surprise to most of you that I think Audley will win, but Jameel can bang 'BIG Time' and a momentary slip in concentration against him and you can end up on your arse, as Brock found out.

Its very rare that Jameel gets stopped (once against Wlad, excluding Jameels second fight), so Audley can't rely on getting the KO and will have to keep his workrate up, but in saying that Jameel is hardly known for his high work rate. I predict a comfortable points win or possibly a late stoppage for Our Audley, lets get it on!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCline seems to have suffered from a lack of a mean streak throughout his career. He was always a defensive fighter despite his huge muscles he wasn't much of a puncher. Lately though he's sat down and punched when the going got tough. I see Audley getting mullahed late in the fight.

Twinkle Toes · Post by **Twinkle Toes** » 19 Sep 2005, 12:43

I think Audley would win this quite handily.

McCline flatters to deieve in my opinion, he has the attributes, but is very reluctant in coming forward. His no show against Wladimir was shocking, and the ending came all of a sudden - Totally overawed by the occasion.

On saying all of that, it is a big step up for Audley - Not before time really.

I think Harrison would win.

Both men have stamina issues, Harrison likes to fight at his own pace and throw minimal amounts of punces and a few McCline opponents reckon the big man is puffing hard after a few rounds. Should be interesting IF it happens.

McCline tends to wear down as fights go on. Audley keeps a slow but consistant work rate. Aud UD 12 or late ko.

McCline "fights" like a pacifist, but he's prepared to share the ring with some good opponents (Grant, Wlad, Briggs, Byrd, Brock etc).

If it happens Audley will win.
