Another thing what the hell was the cutsman doing to Williams at the end of that second round - made the swelling way worse. It was Dean Powell wasn't it??

I noticed that too. Pushing the swelling up over Danny's eye can't have done any good what-so-ever. Although it didn't make much difference to the outcome.

If Audley gets another good win under his belt early next year, then I don't see any reason why he can't get a shot at a title summer next year.

Okhello got a shot against Maskaev off the back of a win over BIG Bob Mirovic and a loss to Sam, Williams got a shot at Vitali off the back of his win over Tyson, Beck and Barrett fought Valuev, did Briggs deserve his shot??? The HW division is wide open and there are 4 different champions, which makes for shots a plenty IMO.

Audley won on Saturday and in impressive/exciting fashion, but he needs to follow it up with more of the same, hopefully against Skelton. Skelton get KTFO.

How did he look petrified?? He took the shots and came back swinging?

You just cant shake your image of Audley from a year ago.

Bollocks, he still panicked when Williams bumrushed him and you can see it in his eyes when he's backing up pawing with the jab. Unless he just fights with his eyes that wide open all the time then I would say the same demons remain. Lets see him in with a live body before talking of world title shots etc, because what he beat in there was a guy who wouldn't even win a British title fight right now and he was on a weeks notice.

There was a point in the fight when he tried to hit Danny with an uppercut from to far outside. Danny started to swing, and Audley looked like a deer in headlights.

Likewise I don't think Harrison was too damning of McGuigan after the fight on Saturday. The criticism that Harrison got first time round was pretty much universal, and justified, given his performances up to that point. In actual fact this criticism lit a fire up the guys arse and he showed us what may be possible if he approaches subsequent fights in the same manner. He talks about himself in the third person as though all this alter ego has to do is turn up. Hopefully he has learned and moved on.

Barry was 100% correct with everything he said about Harrison after the 1st Williams fight.

The proof is in Audley's reaction to the result of the Williams rematch. He did not dedicate his win or thank his fans, he stuck two fingers up to his critics; that tells you all you need to know.

It is people like McGuigan who brought out the beast in Audley.

Sometimes you have to call a squirrel a squirrel, even if it hurts!
