Its audley last match on the BBC. Do you think Bunce will cry live on the BBC? wouldnt put it past him.

It would not suprise me if they just didn't even mention it.

If he does mention it, he'll start the sentence; "Lets get this right,"

Colin Hart's excellent piece in The Sun makes Bunce look an even bigger plonker than he is already. Hart, you may remember, ridiculed Bunce and his colleagues for refusing to criticise Harrison during and after his tedious 12-rounder with Julius Francis.
Now the BBC have axed Harrison. So who was right?

It wasn't Bunce who axed him though. He probably thinks the BBC have made a mistake in getting rid of Audley and I agree.

He'll take it all out on John Inverdale. Some of those looks he gave Invers in the Froch/Witter bill made me laugh so much.

It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they did mention it. John Inverdale goes before the fight; "We've been told that the BBC is cancelling Audley contracts for being disappointed by the standard of opposition and his lack of skill. But lets ignore that for now, here's his next fight............"

I suspect bunce will try and upstage Smith

The fight has been on for 30 seconds and Bunce did mention it.

But he hasn't cried yet.

Hey how about some one giving me a play by play of the fight

Harrison looking poor. Again, he's too reluctant. Bonin is game but limited. Round six.

Harrison's fighting in spurts (as he did for the computer scoring system in the amateurs). He can't seem to fight constantly. Started round seven brightly in saying that. Bonin looks to be tiring.

Bonin digs deep and lands a few straight rights in the seventh. Audley acknowledges him at the bell. The big Londoner is waiting too long to unload his own shots.
Round eight...

Has Audley landed any good shots

Harrison looking really poor. No coordination, no fluency, no snap in his punches. He's winning the fight on points because Bonin doesn't have the handspeed to land more than one punch at a time, but this is Audley back to his worst.
Round nine starting...

He's landed the odd cluster but can't sustain it. Fight has just been stopped courtesy - not of Audley - but of referee John Keane. That is a joke! Bonin completely unhurt. He's now milking the cheers of the crowd.

Harrison finally opened up in the ninth. Bonin turned away momentarily and that prompted the referee's stoppage. Bonin lost that fight more than Audley won it simply by turning away momentarily, possibly due to his balance, which is awful.

Audley has serious stamina issues. He's off balance when he throws his straight left as well. He's not going no-where. Even old man Skelton seems to have twice the stamina of Audley.

What the.... fornicating terrible stoppage. This fight was level if not going on the Polish guys favour. Audleys been saved and is going to be slated. Deservedly. They are the same size but the difference in the athletic ability of a Lennox Lewis and Audley Harrison is gigantic.

Goodbye Audley Harrison. And good riddance. Frank Bruno would have stopped that guy inside two rounds.

fornicate off Bunce. Stop patronizing the public. They know what they seen, Audley was saved. If Keanes been tramatized from previous fights he should not be refereeing. Silly excuse.

Bunce is talking absolute shite about the referee's stoppage being a good one and about Audley looking impressive. God, I'm glad the Beeb are dropping boxing. fornicate off Bunce, fornicate off Audley, fornicate off Hennessy, fornicate off world.

Exactly what I was thinking whilst listening to Bunce's rubbish. If Keane is going to let past events, tragic as they were, influence his judgement then he shouldn't be refereeing, simple as.

I was sitting there listening to Bunce and thinking 'yep, cheers Steve for treating me like a prat who needs to be told what he's watching'. Pillock. Considering Audley is a prospective world champion (so he says), he should have dealt with Bonin more easily than he did. Used his height and reach and kept Bonin out of the fight. Gutsy display by Bonin but he shouldn't be giving a fighter of Harrison's supposed skills and physical advantages as difficult a time as he did.

The one good thing about the BBC losing boxing is no more Steve Bunce, hopefully never to darken my screen again. I'm seething. Grrrrrr.

Carl Johannsen looked damn good. He looks great when putting his punches together and is pretty quick. I can't believe he didn't break his hands on that guys face. If Alexs Arthurs defence is a bad as it was against Gomez then he could get decapitated if he fought Johannsen.

Good old Steve "Lets Get This Right" Bunce.
