It was actually 21 months. And if we're to criticise Harrison for going six with McCafferty, what should we make of Herbie Hide, then, who took seven rounds to get rid of the same guy - this, as a former two-time WBO champion and world-class puncher in his 36th contest, and with McCafferty having suffered a further 9 defeats.

Where did I criticise audley for taking on mccafferty, merely saying that I was excited about audley and what he could do, until the post fight interview where mccaffertys interview gave me my first doubts but then went on to sum up audleys career.

Fair enough. But many people have criticised him for not stopping McCafferty, including BN in an online column the other week. My point was more of a general rebuttal (and continuing the earlier debate between Stu and me about his early matchmaking).
