No. I thought the commentators said Danny was getting stripped on the Prizefighter show, did they get it wrong?
The board havent decided weather he is getting stripped yet. Alot of people are saying he cant be stripped (these people dont know what they're talking about). The board can strip any fighter who enters a professional fight and looses as it discredits the belt. Sometimes they decide not to, sometimes they decide they want to, and sometimes they order a manditory defence. I think he will be stripped or ordered to fight Harrison, williams beating harrison would recredit the belt, and if harrison wins then the belt also gains credit (as he won the tournament).
The board can pretty much do what they want i dont know how people who follow british boxing have trouble comprehending this.
I am sorry Kingfin, but that is absolute boll*x. You NEED to read the little green book.
This forum gets worse by the minute. He fought over 3 rounds for christs sake.

I'd love the board to order the Audley Vs Williams rubber match for the British title. There's still unsettled business between the 2 going by the prizefighter build up, so lets get it on cuz they don't get along!
Personally, I think Danny should be stripped. He looked awful, again. He looks unable to walk straight across the ring let alone hold a shot. Cuffing blows put him down. It seems on that basis absurd to put him in with Harrison.
If I were the board I would insist on stringent medical examinations before Danny was allowed to fight again, let alone defend his title. He looked really bad in there, as you said, even the most glancing of blows seemed capable of putting him down.
I really hope Danny retires, he's got nothing left to give, if the likes of Carl Baker are able to batter him around like that, then it's time to hang them up.

It doesnt make any difference its a professional fight, it doesnt have to be over the championship distance to discredit the belt. Your the type of person im refering to when i say, "dont know what they're talking about". Its based on the weight you fight at not the distance you fight over. If you loose a professional fight then the board can decide for the belt to become vacant again.

KingFinn you should have finished that post with
From the quoted article
[The BBBC said] "We'll go back and look at his performances if he were to lose and the manner of the defeat and then take if from there."
Surely Danny must be stripped if they're judging him on his Prizefighter performance

I think you are exactly that sort of person. You are relying on a press article as gospel.
I have read the little green book, cover to cover.
I can only assume Robert Smith has quoted out of context here, or misquoted. Either that or he doesnt know his own rules.
If any action was taken like that, Williams could take the Board to the cleaners.
This is probably moot though, as it looks like he is going to retire.

Obviously you know more than someone on the board who actually makes the decisions on who gets stripped or not. lol.

As I say, he must have been misquoted or quoted out of context. It was a good line to hype the tournament.
Time will tell...

I was thinking the same thing when I read his quotes.
It seems I owe a few people on this thread, in particular kingfinn, an apology.
I have just taken a look at the little green book. The rules are open to more interpretation than I allowed for.
I don't think they should strip him if he decided to continue, (although it appears he may not), but I agree now they have the power to do so.
A large slice of humble pie for me. Sorry Kingfinn - also for the tone I spoke to you in.
