Harrison wins by 3rd round tko.

A good win on paper. 2004 is going to be an interesting year for Audley :)

Sounds as if Audley is getting there....

I am sure FW will want to coax AH in with Danny Williams/Matt Skelton......

I think AH will make it all the way.. Not based on Nix - just that something tell me me he will...!

Good result, sounds like an excellent performance aswell.... Well done.

I did find it odd, that in the week Warren specifically mentions Skelton as an possibility, Harrison mentions Williams.

It was just on...Im becoming impressed with Harrison I think hes developed alot since he turned pro - he has the eye of the tiger now, ha.

Great finish, worked the angles very well and picked very shots.

Needs to lose 10,15lb or so though.

That was a wicked performance - hard to find any complaints - did a better job than Golota, Clay-Bey & Witherspoon.

Starting to look less like a "novice" now.

That was a good win. Nix is nothing if not tough. I think Harrison's improved a lot since his spell in America.

He looked a lot looser & more calm.

I reckon that's cos he doesn't feel under such scrutiny.

Even his post-fight interview was better - less defensive.

very impressive. beautiful variety of shots, great finish. audley's skills will tell. i actually agree with steve bunce's prediction.

it's all gonna work for audley. what improvement since the dreary points wins against krence and negus.

on that performance, he'd make Skelton look like a complete and utter clown.

Intersting shift of feelings though.

I am now left thinking what or who could stop him achieving a decent belt?

Not too many.

Bunce went over the top, and bragged about how he thought Harrison would be a world champ long ago.

People can't get too excited. The guy was once again alot smaller than Audley, and didn't pressurise Harrison so Audley was bound to be in control. Having said that, he bwas able to land some shots in the second and a harder hitter could of troubled audley.

Admittidly Audley looked classy when knocking out Nix, which in itself is impressive seeing as he went 7 recently with Golota.

Good performance, but thats what i expected.

Now i'd like to see him step it up against some top british fighters. Julius Francis would be another stepping stone, then the likes of Sprott and Skelton.

Even David Blaine would struggle to match this feat as doubters suddenly begin to switch.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 15 Dec 2003, 05:55

Hah all except me Costa.

Decent performance against a decent punch bag. End of. Still LOTS to prove. Like how's he going to perform when it's not him controlling the pace for starters, which is my biggest concern.

GREAT interview as always. Don't know about his fighting but for chat Audley is already right up there in the P4P ratings. First class.

Adam - do you really think any of those three will really test Harrison? Skelton - possibly, the other two are punchbags - particularly Francis who hasn't "tested" anyone in years!

Audley looked a lot better, I was pleasantly surprised. It's the first time I've seen him stand in punching range. Remember how his jab used to miss because he stood too far out?

Chambers · Post by **Chambers** » 15 Dec 2003, 13:12

Before the fight I thought that this was going to be Audleys most difficult fight so far (after seeing the standard of opponent that Nix has been in with) and IMO it was his best performance which bodes well for the future. Audley seemed to be sussing his opponent out in the first couple of rounds as he has done before, even so he did catch Nix with a couple of hard shots in both rounds, then in the third round BOOM!!!!, a devastating and clinical finish, which has surely has put to bed any question marks over Audleys punching power.As I said before the fight Audley is not a one-punch KO artist, but when you have Audleys accuracy you don't need to be (he is a three-punch KO artist). Audleys defence is looking extremely tight and I don't recall Nix laying a clean shot on him.

After seeing Audleys last couple of performances, it is no wonder Danny Williams has gone to Sports Network he obviously realises his hands can't write the checks that his mouths been writing. Expect to see Hide follow him out of the BBC in similar fashion :-)

Conclusion
Audleys sternest test and his best performance. Any questions regarding Audleys supposed lack of power are now laughable. That performance has now convinced me Audley is ready for anyone in the British ranks

I'm not impressed with Fraudley.
C,mon fellas,Nix was s*** scared all thru that bout ,he didn't even look fraudley in the eye at the touch gloves.Even the American post fight interviewer asked him to step up to higher level competition.
I want to see him in with a live wire opponent,where he has to take a few & give a few good shots and come thru.Only then will I be impressed.

My conclusion;- there is no conclusion,Fraudley still hasnt been tested!He's still bowling over bums & journeymen.He has to step up and then we will see his true potential.
