KOJOE90 · Post by **KOJOE90** » 10 Jul 2005, 12:24

According to several websites and the whispers floating around the sunny streets of Leicester are Audley Harrison will fight next on August 11 on the "Best Damn Sports Show Period's" monthly show promoted by Goossen Tutor.

His opponet is the Heavyweight dangerman TBA.

Well at least he's staying active. The sooner the opponent is announced though the better, because better opponents need more notice than a week or two.

The August date at least is good news.

Guinn, Donald, Etienne, Fields?

I would prefer Donald out of those jokers. If Audley plays the Fields, its more likely to be Sedrick than Tye, not sure if that's preferable.

Being grateful for small mercies at least with the fight being in the US and on ESPN it's unlikely the opponent will be somebody we've never heard of. Only a small mercy as I say, because we've all heard of Marcus Rhode and Louis Monaco.

Louis Monaco beat Kevin McBride who beat Mike Tyson.

Whoops, I may have given A-Force an idea.

Oh Jesus my heart. First search I thought it to be http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=065583 Little between the two really.

Utterly ridiculous. The August fight WAS meant to be the McLine-type fight wasn't it? Is the plan to stop this guy and start waffling on about he can to what Brock couldn't? Jesus.

He needs to step it up soon.

People are getting antsy

He already has lost hype, and has people downplaying him. But one good win can change this, especially at heavyweight where they really need some fresh faces.

But time is not on his side, so lets get this train moving Audley.

Names i'd like to see could be Paolo Vidoz (not much chance as he's got to fight Sprott), Larry Donald, Lawrence Clay Bey, Ray Austin,

armageto · Post by **armageto** » 10 Jul 2005, 19:31

I don't think Smith is the worst opponent in the world. He'll give A-Force some good rounds and I'll get to see a little more of him besides the jab factory that was in the last fight. Hopefully after this though, he'll venture into the top 20 or so for his next opponent........

What happened to the fight with Billy Zumbrun? Won't Billy get his shot now? This is ridiculous, Billy pushed the legend Riddick Bowe to a close decision

Was just today reading about some of the US '84 olympic gold medallists, then started thinking about their opposition as they developed - it gradually became better until they were considered ready to challenge. In Holyfield's case he was fighting a Qawi in his 8th? pro fight for the cruiser title

This is all a mjor worry - Harrison is 35 now and doesn't seem interested in anything resembling top opponents. Is this the way forward for high profile olympians, especially the bigboys? (too much money to begin with so why bother fighting the best???)

pasty_spud · Post by **pasty_spud** » 11 Jul 2005, 05:33

thought he was 32/33 ?

jomothepure · Post by **jomothepure** » 11 Jul 2005, 05:36

33. 26/10/71

Is that August 11th 2005?

I can't see Audley having TWO fights in one calendar year! It's a bit much for him!!!!!

bollox · Post by **bollox** » 11 Jul 2005, 18:48

Could have sworn Harrison was 30 when he won gold. Obviously not

nickd · Post by **nickd** » 12 Jul 2005, 04:40

He said he'd step it up around his 20th fight if I recall correctly, its only his 19th fight and I dont think a fight with Smith is that bad when you bear in mind he's just back from a year long layoff.

Give the guy a break for fucks sake, his opposition is as good as the rest of the heavyweight prospects' 19th fights.

Brock fought this guy in his 20th fight and was taken 10 rounds.

Funny coz no-one has seriously suggested he is fighting Terry Smith

The point is Audleys getting old for a fighter creeping up on 34 and he has shown no inclination/balls to get his ass in gear.

Give him a break?

He'll be 57 by the time he's ready at his current rate.

I could understand if he was 24, but he's not, he's 34 & it's around about this time that your reflexes start going.

Kilburn · Post by **Kilburn** » 12 Jul 2005, 06:53

Audley needs to stay away from anyone with a half decent workrate or else that "0" will be blown out of the water.

It wouldn't surprise me to see him call out Thomas Hearns.
