audley was called all kinds of slurs such as audrey, fraudley, a farce, ordinary harrison to name a few

already in ladbroke grove people are calling him james defail, james degay, jimmy de fail, jimmy dickgay...:.....its all very harsh and childish but ultimately....he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.........on the way home from the pub i saw a guy trip on the pavement and jump up prematurley and fall down.....hismates were calling him degale and other insults............ All very sad im sure you agree

in answer to your question.

no.

Well we can spin it as a single points loss......but when little jimmy wakes up in the morning the cold facts will say its his second straight loss to a guy he mercilessly taunted and mocked.......ffrrank wwarren gave him gucci handbags, fur coats..burberry hats.....he gave him things he couldnt even pronounce....now he cant give him nothing except advice ......i hope he learns a valuable lesson from all this.....cos hes still young.....yeah thats right he's still young......silly rabbit didnt he know tricks are made for kids.........him without jimmy mac like cornflakes without the milk.....tonight was groves world he was just like a squirrel trying to get a nut.....

Well lets deal in facts its more than the "one point loss" you speak of......its his second straight loss to groves......frankly its starting to look one sided

funny all those times audley lost like the razor thin one to williams the 1st time i didnt hear all this one point whining even tho it was close but clearcut just like now

i respect your opinion dark destroyer but blaming the dramatics on me is forlorn and misplaced its james degale who made this dramatic with his childish behaviour in the build up. Groves made him look like cornflakes without the milk....he was like a squirrel trying to get a nut all night.....

I wasnt declaring him the new harrison i was just posing the question for debate which after all is what forums are about.....debate....

Like u i agree degale will go on to big things and learn a lesson

I think he won't be all that now. All that talent, & pedigree and yet he still cant be Groves. That will always effect him mentally.

DeGale was having his 11th fight. Audley's 11th fight was against Mathew Ellis.
No comparison. Only thing DeGale lacked tonight was tactics and someone telling him to up the pace.
It is good to have two such good fighters at one weight. They will meet again in two years with a world title on the line and it will fill a football stadium.

agreed - if anything it was the best outcome all around . It showed both are potentially world title winners. With the possibility of a super fight rematch in a year or two.

They've given us another benn, eubank again at long last.

As arrogant as he is, DeGob is 10x the fighter that Harrison is.

You could make a case for him getting a draw or winning that fight & he actually looked like if he had prepared properly & not been so cocksure, he probably would have won.

I've seen Harrison lose fights he should have won, but he is no more than a glorified journeyman.

DeGob looks far more talented & I believe this defeat will make him stronger IMO.

he raises a valid point though...

audley had all the boxing skills in the world...if he had the heart he could have very well cleaned up the heavyweight division imo


degale is a very skillful boxer too...but i don't think his heart is the problem...more like him believing what "all his people" tell him and him believing his own hype....maybe he should do what nigel benn did after the watson defeat..that being going back to basics,maybe going to america and rebuild his career under different people?

I'd definitely agree, I though McDonnells cornering was awful...and if thats symptomatic of the preparation too, then for sure its time for a change
