because people disagree with you it means they've been sucked in
No not at all, do you seriously think Harrison is a different fighter to the guy who lost to Williams and Guinn? I can't believe so many people think thats the case thats all I am saying.

He looked in far better shape than when he took Skelton distance, maybe it was Audleys punches that were giving him the balance problems
Bollocks and you know it! Williams was stumbling about like a drunk from the first bell.
And WAS ON A WEEKS NOTICE!

Audley didn't look very timid to me.

Chesney there's no point getting dragged into it fella. We'll all see in a couple of days. Sounds like nobodys really sure about this one. Anything could happen.

yeah but either that or he's a fat off balance plodder
Williams' balance hasn't been right since the Klitschko fight. That beating ruined him. While he has gained a few wins since then pretty much all his performances have been piss poor. And we don't even need to go into his conditioning.
Williams has been an embarrassment and has shamed the sport with his 'conditioning'. He needed swatting so I'm with the Audley brigade, lol

Very true, wise words.

Harrison W PTS in a boring fight.
I'd like to be wrong though, whether that be for entertainment value or for Audley losing!

As long as Audley's confident, Sprott's going down.

Audley Jabs the entire fight, to afraid to commit any big right hands, Wins by points in what could be a chase the rabbit (Harrison) around the ring until Sprott blows himself out and maybe gets stopped by an over eager Ref.
Although Sprott will have his moments and hopefully chins A Force and puts to rest the Harrison World Domination talk. I will be Champion next year or maybe the year after, or maybe the year after that, or maybe......
So Harrisson by zzzzz points!
(hoping Sprott by KO of the year)

by shot
I would put my money on a decision for Sprott since the odds are really good and it is a close fight.
But I do think Audley is the favorite to win a decision in what could be a classical boring fight between two timid fighters.
My hope is Sprott will end this Audley farce in brutal fashion.

Quite. How anyone can say he looked in any kind of condition is beyond me. Despite being 20 lbs lighter, he looked flabbier and less muscular than his fight with Skelton, and was completely off balance.
Williams is shot to shite, and I think Gammer is in with a good shout of giving him a hammering.

Gammer by TKO.

But what if Audley domintes or destroys Sprott? People picking Sprott to do well will still not give Audley any credit. Though in truth Harrison owes British boxing more than he can pay, and has to beat Skelton and Gammer before moving up in class.

If Harrison beats Sprott decisively with no controversy then I will give him full credit. Sprott has been operating well at Euro level for a while now.

Only seen Sprott-Chagaev, from his German ventures and he got a bit of a beating. I just think the same happens here. Though I doubt Audley gets stuck in the way Chagaev did, I hope Aud digs in the body shots and uppercuts.

Make that a third set of thumbs up from me nickd
Harrison is not exempt from my praise, a convincing win over Sprott and i will give him a proverbial slap on the back...a lacklustre showing and the pat on the back is only to feel where to put my knife in

The main man does put a lot of time and effort into maintaining the site, he is a genuine Boxing fan from what i can gather. Nice to hear some praise from a writing veteran

The odds are really good for this one - I'm going for Sprott by stoppage or points.

Good fight on paper but will be a little shocked if Harrison does manage to blow it again. Never easy to predict how Harrison will perform but I think he'll pull out a comfortable decision. If he shows some fire again, he can stop Sprott too.

A fit and confident Sprott will set a fast pace. Audley might find it tough.
I favour Audley though, a bit more class, and dare I say it rediscovered hunger.
Lets get behind Audley. (The londoners that is)
