I can see Skelton winning this one,Audley deserve it not to sure if he gets beat dont think we will be seeing much more off him...
How could Audley possibly win, except for by knockout and he hasn't shown much power, or the ability to actually commit to his punches.
I think most British people missed the Dominic Guinn-Harrison fight, honestly I've never seen a fighter more terrified, there's no reason to take unneccessary risks but Guinn could literally walk in without a jab cause whenever Guinn even got in punching range Audley would go to the peak a boo. Guinn could literally just take a few steps get close, while Audley's flashing the high guard, wave to the crowd, talk to Teddy Atlas and then throw a couple of body shots.
Audley just like to hide behind his long arms against fighters who lack the skill to get inside... when they do he ties them up...
That's how Danny Williams won a round against him with out landing a punch... ;D
skelton should see this as a tune up and to 110% secure that he is the number 1 man in britain! aint much for skelton now! i personally only see 3-4 max for him!
skelton is a ok fighter but he chose to fight harrison. harrison is a shit fighter. he was given a world title shot and turned it down. what a bad move
i heard a bout it on saturday i was well chuffed....
i remember bieng really impressed with fraudley ' A Farce' Harrison at one point! before he was expposed!
now i either want him to be a furkin man and have a good fight or retire!! lol
think hes under a new trainer now so should be good to see if a new trainer can make him more of a man..
lol he either redeems himself or skelton tears him apart!! not a big fan of skelton atall...
but if fraudley turns up in the same state as he did when he faught williams he'll get stopped!!
still im pretty glad its on cos it jus means theres more boxing to watch on itv, we getting a fair bit atm :P
peace
3 words...Audley is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or this is bullsh*t!!!!!!!! take your pick...:)Quote:

Ok I must have missed this somehow, what title shot did Skelton turn down?
Maskaev I believe
If that's true then well, I don't even know what to say about that. I mean for one thing, its Maskaev, the most vulnerable of all the title holders. Well, I just remembered that Valuev's a titleholder.
I actually just now read the article, Warren says this could put Skelton in line for a title shot ???
He's 39 years old....and he's had LESS fights than Audley who just started sucking at boxing professionally a couple years ago.
It means nothing to Americans other than we MAY get to see Audley get beat again....next Lennox Lewis indeed
This is the reason he aint figthing in Russia, warren's column in a sunday newspaper over here said that the offer Matt Skelton got was insulting, so lets say it was what 20k, or you could fight Audley Harrison on prime time tv on a saturday night for 200k, what would you do? And add to that he is 39 years old has probably a 20% chance of winning in Russia, do the math and he has made a decision 99% of us would make.Quote:

.....how many times will he get an offer to fight for a title vs someone as vulnerable as Oleg Maskaev who is not RUSSIAN but Kazakstani.
Yeah he's closer to Russian than Skelton but come on, he can be KO'd.
Skelton didn't take the fight because he's piss poor and he knew he would lose fair and square
I love it when you invent 'facts' from out of your arse Lyle... ;);D
Hahahaha, yes but isnt the fight in Russia? Thats what i meant, but yes your probably right but if he new this fight with Audrey was in the pipeline, thats probably the main reason well probably the only reason, becasue Skelton ( not to sure if you know him that well) is not the sort of guy to back down from anyone, but i suppose it was a good oppurtunity but for me he would go in as a big dog against Maskaev.Quote:

If Skelton is so damn good why not win the title and write your own check???
Because he can't!...you have to pay your dues in boxing and Skelton refused to take a decent offer to fight for A TITLE and chose to add a bum to his record. It's retarded!
Yes Audley is on regular tv and will get him more money but then the question becomes WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT...money vs title....I'd go with title!
You put on a good show vs a title holder you might have doors open up for you ie Valuev ....you put on a good show vs Harrison and it does nothing for you, and if you lose to him your career is DONE and all you have to show for it is money....that's not BOXING
I also love it when you over react to jokes. ;D
"Skelton didn't take the fight because he's piss poor and he knew he would lose fair and square" does sound like you are stating something as a fact rather than an opinion or speculation though.
this is a joke a total joke , there both jokes.........skelton turns down a fight for the wbc title to fight audrey..............2 fighters who are jokes, if danny williams wasn't an idiot and came into the 2nd fight with skelton in shape and under 19 stone he would have won and gone for the world title fight......however i still hope skelton beats audrey and ends his joke of a career
Sensible thenQuote:

...didn't he used to do K-1???
Yes he did, there was a video posted a few months ago of him getting knocked the fuck out!!Quote:
