McBride - 20st 8lbs!

I'm sure though not many would be overly concerned if McBride and 'FR' Audley retired..! And never fight one another...

I think Audley could consider retiring if his ambitions are still at world level. Even he must realise it's almost prohbitively difficult to reach that goal at this stage, at his age. However, if he is aiming for British or European honours, he can still achieve something.

McBride, however, has NOTHING to offer. He can't even defend the Irish title.

I'd still say Mcbride could beat Audely.... when has Audely shown that he has more to offer than Mcbride... at least Kevin had the guts (scuse the pun!

) to step in the ring with a madman like Golota, I doubt Audely would want to be in the same stadium as Golota, nevermind the same ring! 8)

Exactly really, I think Aude would soil his pants if anyone was to suggest he face Golota, even a 40+ Golota....
By the way I'm sorry that you seem to be living in hell, you havent hooked up with my exwife by any chance have you!!?

Danny Wofford has faced better names than both of them; does that mean he's the better fighter?

Well the fact is that Mcbride has had the courage to step in the ring with fighters that Audely wouldnt touch with a bargepole.... I mean would Audely have beaten the Tyson that Mcbride beat???.... I doubt it very much...

Possibly Audley would have been intimidated by Tyson's reputation and/or the scale of the fight, but if he survived a round or two, he would have beaten him no problem. I think any heavyweight above journeyman level would have beaten Tyson that night. Maybe even some journeymen. Tyson was that bad.

I still find that hard to believe, after all we're talking about a guy who was poleaxed by one punch from Sprott.... I'd fancy my chances with him if I could reach his chin.....

Although I clearly rate Audley higher than you, my point here is not somuch about him, but about how bad Tyson was that night. He had NOTHING - not even a fast start.

That far joker McBride was press releasing saying it was his best camp ever and he felt his newfound speed would be the key. What a pile of shit he comes in like John McDermott's dinner partner. Buddy McGirt's credibility is in question yet again.

What is the story with Mcbride?.... I can only think that he doesnt take the game seriously or else is a pisshead, either way theres no excuse for a so called athlete coming into work so overweight. Having said that it seems to be par for the course of most heavyweights these days, unless they have a beer gut it seems theyre not in shape!!.... :( :( :(
