When you make a fire just use the t-shit to help it burn more.

Your right T-Shit would be a more appropriate name for it.

Oh good god, surely this fight isn't happening, who on earth actually wants to see this bout? Wasn't Harrison v Williams bad enough? I know this could be better as Skelton will come piling straight in and come looking for Audley, but even so, it will still be shit.

What sad news it is that Mr Harrison will darken a British ring again!!!!!

How will he cope having THREE fights in one calendar year???

10p?

That's a bit optimistic!!!!!!

aaghh I actually find myself being fooled by Harrison.

he knows where he has gone wrong, I know there is a massive difference between that and actually doing something about it, but I can't help but think he has the tools to stop Skelton easily. As Terence said Skelton is gonna be all over him and it could well force Harrison to fight, he's not going to plod after him at a snails pace ala Williams. Also it's a year since he let everyone down at the same venue, i'm sure there must be a huge will for redemption otherwise why come back to Britain or why even continue to box??

I wouldn't be surprised to see another big crowd at Excel for this, many of whom will hope that Skelton will get rid of Fraudley once and for all.

Who bets Audley pulls out with an injury between now & fight time?

I think its a near guarantee. If it does happen though, great way to bring the curtain down on Audleys joke of a career.

I give this fight a 40% chance of happening this year.

Jesus Terrence, you really are a glutton for punishment, do you really want to end up cursing Audley after you waste your money on train and hotel?

I'm inclined to agree.

He's due another 'injury'!

I can't see him having THREE fights in one calendar year; that constitutes overtime for him! :P

This could end up being main event if Scot fails to fight which I think is quite likely. Why cant Warren deliver bigger fights for Skelton?

F r a n k W a r r e n reminds me of Harrison; big talk & lots of promises, but nothing ever happens!

They should make a great partnership!!!!

Bugner was a much better fighter than Audley Harrison, and from what I remember Frazier was doing most of the bashing.

leforge · Post by **leforge** » 02 Oct 2006, 16:31

What was wrong with getting a quality foreign opponent in. I just know this end up as main event.

Max Molyneux · Post by **Max Molyneux** » 02 Oct 2006, 16:45

Heard Bugner wasn't the same after that guy dying who he fought.

Frankie had the cheek to write in his NOTW column that one of the reasons for Skelton not fighting Maskaev was because shows in Moscow fall through too often, the irony!!

I still deciding if me my mates should go to this, Skelton v anyone else I would go, Harrison stunk the place out last year, what is up with Warren? More to the point Itv approving this, I sure the casual viewer wont want to see him again.

Like it or not Harrison remains more of a name than most world champions the the british public, warren [wrongly in my view] thiks its a relatively easy option for skelton to build some kudos and make some cash.

Why does Audley get constant chances and fights even though he is bascially dire? His name of course! Skelton will KO the fraudulant one in 10

Righly or wrongly the Williams fight was almost a year ago and Audley has signed to fight a tough, dangerous fighter. Not bad going for a coward!

I think you must be Harrison in disguise!!!!

Of course he is a coward!

Have you not watched the Williams & Guinn fights?

Harrison should have been fighting Skelton standard opponents in 2002!

Signing to fight the likes of Skelton, SIX years after turning pro is not a sign that he isn't a coward.

Great question.

I don't even know how he has managed to acquire a 'name'!

He's done sod all as a pro, yet he still manages to get all these chances!

That's how sad is the heavyweight division is today!

Remember guys, Williams and Guinn didnt put too much pressure on Aud, were similarly reluctant to go all out.

Skelton is going to be all over him. Its fight or flight. Thats what makes this fight entertaining IMO.

Stop being so cynical my brothers!!
