Well I did bite , petty insults on the forum annoy me slightly. And alcohol was a factor I admit that. I'm surprised I'm not banned to be honest.

You were right and I was wrong. Also I apologize for any ungentlemanly names I called you in response to being labelled a moron.

To be honest it's only a character like Harrison that could provoke me like that, anything else and I wouldn't have been bothered I don't think.

Clearly I recognised the similarity between the Amateur format, and the Prizefighter format, but...I felt that Harrisons reluctance to commit himself would still be his undoing, against the better fighters in the tournament. So yeah you probably deserve a bit of credit for picking him.

Mind you (and I have seen none of the show as yet)....were you surprised, I was , at the manner of Harrison's victory. It sounds, from what I've read like a pretty clinical KO. Did he score KD's in any other fights...the BBC write up was not in depth.

Also, I guess where you're due credit for picking A FORCE (let's give him his grand title after picking up his first Pro trophy), I bet you had egg on your face at what happened to Williams.



as a side point btw, when I stated Harrison would not win the comp, Mr Sprott was still involved at that time. So on that basis I was never actually proved wrong mate

We will see who is right or wrong soon enough

hahaha, Tony - he was still a part time cabbie 3 quarters of his size it doesn't matter if he knocked out Ivan Drago shortly afterwards (which was a complete upset btw).

but you are correct, we'll find out soon, altho' I'm not aware of the date, but I would happily wager that Audley will not win this.If he doesn't, he will be laughed at, and if he does, he will stink the joint out no doubt and become even less respected in professional boxing than he already is. He's in a lose lose situation if you ask me. There's no longer a place for him in the game , and he has achieved this embarrassing status all by himself by constantly running his big mouth.

i might go just for the cringe factor, not to mention the intrigue of how he would deal if faced with Sprott. Where is it at, the York Hall?

I am not a sadist, I would not want to see the guy hurt or badly sparked likehe was last time, but I really don't see how a scared fighter in the first place is going to deal with a guy that destroyed him once already. Fair play to him for putting himself back in that situation though.

However, I feel he's just in it for the money and to have some kind of public profile, rather than the glory, and I think that's how you can end up getting hurt, or so I've been told.

No big surprise Fraudley winning - that is if you know even a small amount about the sport. Just glad I put £20 on Fraudley after reading the consistently moronic posts of Northeastboxingfan
6-1 odds .. easy money

They even stated in the studio that audley had 6/1 odds and the bookies had taken a right bashing from the tournament.

It was either him or Williams. Even if the odds were from when Sprott was still in, I just can't see anyone making him such a longshot.
