Wow
Wow
WOW
Give Audley his credit - he had a FREAKING DETACHED SHOULDER.
How many of you would box in that pain against a man who had previously knocked you unconscious.
Audley showed heart, balls, cajones, stones, and everything else. What a freaking Rocky like comeback and a punch that will do damage against anybody.
Entitled to be proud as the European champ.
No one has ever laid Sprott clean out. Incredible turn around given the injury & 'the ghost of kayos past'. Don't be a d'ck, give the big man his kudos.

That shoulder bull is up there with some of his all time gems, Ian Darke had it confirmed after 8 rounds - that there was nothing wrong with Harrison.
Chap is off his rocker

Well done for summing up the strange mentality of british boxing fans in one sentence.
Audley Harrison suffers a serious injury, comes back to one punch kayo a guy who never been laid out and so that means Audley is crap?
British boxing fans will actually make you heave.

What? So he fought one handed for 10 rounds just to give himself a potential excuse? I'm only a lurker on this site but I have to say boxing fans are unbelievable! Every fight is dominted afterwards by conspiracy theories and petty accusations about fouling or dodgys refs. Its never a straightforward debate...
Thats the beauty of opinions.....

I don't think its unreasonable to suggest that Harrison is making up the injury due to the fact his own corner said it wasn't the case.....
Does it??

Fair play to Audley for throwing that desperation shot but why the heck was Sprott throwing a desperation shot at the same time
4, 5 and 6 rounds up on the scorecards....ouch :surprised:

Perhaps they didn't want the Sprott camp to know for sure he was injured. Why do you think he fought one handed for 10 rounds?

Darke confirmed that Audley's corner SAID there was nothing wrong to Ed Robinson. Aye, like they're going to lean over during a fight and say 'Yes, he's totally f*cked and can't use his right hand'.

What are you own about, you saying Ian Darke during the fight & pre Harrison's statement of injury said that there was nothing wrong with Harrison during the fight for no reason??

David Haye would be the favourite versus Harrison, but ultimately - if Audley catches Haye who's been down vs Lolenga Mock, Carl Thompson, Mormeck et al with that power he won't dismiss Audley as easily as some of you do.

Nine years in and Audley suddenly abandons his key punch to box orthodox and only throw the left hand? You must be off your rocker if you couldn't recognize Audley was having problems with his right.
Maybe your hatred of Audley blinds any objectivity.

Yes, it's completely unreasonable due to the fact he boxed with one hand for almost the entire fight. His own corner might also have said the moon was a balloon after round eight if they thought it would help their man.
I mean, unless it was the best tactical plan of all time!

Have we had medical confirmation of what was wrong with the shoulder????????
I initially thought he was going southpaw to avoid Sprott's left hook (that ended him in the 1st fight), he looked really anxious to get out the way of that!!
Fair enough if he fucked his shoulder he fucked his shoulder ........... but does that explain his excuse of a jab???
If he used his god given attributes he'd be unstoppable!!!
I was/am an Audley fan but he pisses me off so much!!!!!!!!

Undoubtedly Audley hurt his shoulder. Disolaction? I don't think it was.
It would be alot more obvious if it was. It would be gangly.

Exactly - why on earth would they communicate that Audley was injured - they could see their man was having a problem.
Ian Darke was trying to bury Audley all night, no wonder he revelled in announcing 'well his own corner say he's fine?!'
For a man who's been ringside all these decades, Darkie seems quite naive.

Look, his right was not gone for the majority of that fight, he was pumping that out more than an injury of that magnitude would have been capable of.
And for the record - I don't hate the guy, I just think he's a pile of crap as a fighter & capable of telling large porky-pies.

That is pretty strange indeed. Haye would easily defeat Audley, as would the Klitschko's.

i just think that, with audleys reach, and that straight left, he might get to haye early. mark my words, anyone else agree?

I will repeat... Audley injured his shoulder no doubt........ dislocated / detatched.... no way. Well, I would be very very surprised.
Was Audley holding it like Danny Williams vs Potter, Dean Francis (when its popped). Any obvious lumps? No.
Credit, he came through with undoubtedly an injury - but lets not compare it to Danny Williams who couldn't defend himself properly either. Nothing wrong with Audley holding his right up.

Come on Seriously, i am by no means a Audely fan, i mean who is ?
but it was clear his shoulder was gone, he didn't throw the right for about 8 rounds, why would anyone fake that, Darke didn't confirm the shoulder was ok, He said Audelys corner had told them it was ok, so he either didn't tell his corner or they didn't want anyone else to know, althoe it was pretty obvious for all to see there was a prob.
He was even throwing 2 or 3 left hooks in quick susscession in one round, i mean why would you do that
