Sprott-Audley did the low blows affect the outcome?

I don't think anyones commented on Sprotts low blows, very low and hard prior to the KO. The ref didnt see them. Did it affect Audley? I think it did. No excusing him leaving himself open but the low blows helped Sprott land that KO punch imo. A close back and forth fight too with a Sprott KD to boot. We need a rematch
On another note, Audleys added a bit of action to the domestic scene. I hope he stays so we can see more competitive domestic HW action.

ITS a 50-50 imo, would be a good fight, I think Sprotts a tougher style match up than Skeleton

no need for a rematch, let Audley crawl away hopefully silently into retirement, and lets have Skelton - Sprott on. At least no-one will make any noise about Sprott's roughhouse tactics when Skelton is opposite outdoing him,,,

Harrison would never beat Sprott now after being clean KO'd by him. He'd shit himself during the ringwalk for a rematch.

Clearly you've never heard of what lions do to zookeepers then

They did contribute to the outcome, in that they scared the life out of Audley, when Sprott started roughing him up & he realised he had a proper fight on his hands.
The look of terror on his face in the 3rd was telling & it led to a drop in pace as his stamina depleted due to the fear.

Nobody can tell me the mental midget Harrison could actually beat Sprott now - a man who knocked him completely senseless.

Just like Lennox couldnt beat McCall or Rahman?

Harrison is hardly Lennox Lewis is he. Lewis was mentally strong, Harrison is nothing of the sort.

The ending was so conclusive that it would be difficult to sell a rematch.

Exactly right.
You cannot compare Lennox Lewis, a man who had already proved himself at the highest level to Audley Harrionson, a man who is scared of his own shadow, whose best win is against a shopworn & ill prepared Danny Williams.

You could say when Sprott shoved him with his forearm - moving him back a fair bit, contributed. You could say Sprott's straight jabs that landed despite being outreached, or Sprott's hooks inside. He stood up to Audley and AH doesn't like that kind of thing. At 35 it's just too late to learn.

Comparing Audley to Lennox is like comparing a Robin Reliant to a Bentley Flying Spur.

What a thread! The audacious suggestion of a rematch and also a comparison between Audley and Lennox! Good job I wasn't eating my dinner when I read this thread, would've choked!

Lets not make excuses for Harrison losing, he lost to the better man, and thats that - He is a nasty peice of work just like Scott Harrison but thats where the comparison ends - Scott is talented and brave and always came to give his all - Audley has talent but as we have seen isnt brave enough and wont fight with all his heart - We must not get confused with confidence and a bit of hype and downright arrogance - Only Harrison and a few of his die hard fans believed the shit about being champion in 2007 and unifying in 2008 - The guy had to prove he was the best in Britain and couldnt - Skelton will beat Sprott and prove he IS and hopefully get a world title shot - Matt does have heart, even if he is a bit crude in his style but he earns my respect both as a man and a fighter - Surely FW will tell Harrison its all over and wont inflict on us another fight with Danny Williams should Williams beat Gammer which I somehow doubt - Enough is enough and we have had more than enough of AH - Look at the heart of Earl as well as his skills and bravery, OK he lost but we all had respect for his sheer effort while taking a tremendous onslaught - Harrison has never shown any respect for domestic fighters and that has let him down badly - You cant go talking world titles while ignoring British fighters like Skelton, Sprott, Gammer Etc - Skelton wanted a fight with Harrison a few years back but Harrison wasnt interested and instead went to the States to beat up bums to build his unbeaten record up - If you are not the best in Britain how on earth can you be among the those who hold a world title

He will do
Sprott may have beaten audley but is no way a world class fighter.
He has 10 losses already so can be considered more of a journeyman, decent at british level, but when he has taken on a world class opponent (i.e corrie sanders sparked him in a round) hes fallen short.
I'd rather see how Skelton fares in a title shot, hes always got a punchers chance

Audley talks about being undisputed champ
Lennox has been there done that and got the t-Shirt

LOL!!!!
It's an insult to compare Harrison to a Reliant Robin; they were actually decent reliable cars!!!!!

:P
