I transferred the Diaz fight from VHS to DVD a while back and chucked out the VHS. But the DVD doesn't seem to play on anything apart from the now knackered recorder that I used at the time. Annoying.

Perhaps!

Prizefighter is a world away from fighting world title contenders!

Either way, he still intrigues me and I'll be watching on Saturday hoping he wins! You have to admire his belief and courage to keep putting himself through the mill.

His opposition in Prizefighter was fairly decent.

I really think Harrison is great, even after all of his defeats he can still inspire interest and hope.

He is the type of fighter young prospects should study and try to emulate in the right circumstances.

I used to work in a mental hospital and Audley's more delusional than most of the people in there.

Harrison is talented and erratic enough to always stir debate.

WAR HARRISON!


This won't last long, could be another detonation on Audleys face while he does his rabbit in the headlights thing. But, Wilder hasn't faught anyone and when Harrison gets going he can fight, technically pretty good (good enough to win a gold medal) & capable of KOing pretty much anyone with his own left hand.

I'm gonna stick 20 quid on Audley KO, @ 13/2, worth a punt i reckon.

Whilst a bold statement I tend to agree. I would actually like to see him achieve his dream! Unfortunately reality says it won't happen.

NECK = shock absorber.

Legs can generate power.

Holyfield THICK NECK SKINNY LEGS.

GREAT CHIN DECENT POWER.

TYSON THICK NECK THICK LEGS = chin and power.

Not an exact science but just my take.

Just watched some Wilder vids on YouTube. He looks pretty poor apart from some obvious power. Just watched him fight a bunch of fat guys who actually manage to catch him. I can't believe he won a bronze medal.....

I think he will prob catch Audley at some stage and Aud's chin will let him down, but you can get 8-1 Aud by Ko anytime, or go crazy with 18-1 Aud rounds 1-3.

Those are decent prices

Audley is such a good salesman, he could literally sell Haye v Harrison 2 and half the serious boxing fans would be talking about how he's in a better place now, his mind is right, he has bags of potential, he will knock out Haye, etc., etc.
The worse thing is I'd probably be one of those fans :oops:

He'd be in the same "better place" Frank Bruno found himself in in 1993, scared witless. Holyfield was in the best place.

I think in reality the place he'd be in is an overnight hospital stay, but it wouldn't stop him being able to sell Harrison v Haye 3.

Yes, a PPV Trilogy of KO defeats. Interesting to see what Harrison's career would have done were it not for these relatively new Prizefighter series. The format wasn't even around when he turned Pro. I don't think there'll ever be another Audley that's for sure - a very strange career indeed.

What about the guys with skinny necks and legs that have top chins? Or the thick necked, thick legged fighters who can't take a shot?

I have always thought a great chin is something you are born with and irrespective of body shape.

The same could be said for Rogan, come from being a novice pro and relative obscurity, won the prizefighter, beat Audley, beat Skelton and won the Commonwealth title, lost to Sexton and has never really found his form since and is back to relative obscurity save talking about a fight with Jones recently. Seems crazy that a format that is no way connected to a 10 or 12 round championship contest, can take a guy like Audley or Rogan to within touching distance of a world title fight.

You'd be better off judging Wilder from sparring videos. As a pro his job has been to be as entertaining as possible against people who pose little threat. He hasn't got out of first gear due to the opposition.

Just watched some footage of Wilder. He looks in athletic shape. Although looking at the "fights" I am no further forward on this one.

I'm totally undecided between Audley stoppage in 5, Audley stoppage in 10 or Audley on points so I don't think I'll be betting on this. I'll stick to my original prediction - Audley by UD.
