I pick Audley to win early Sprott just threw a lucky punch
Faudley's chin is as suspect as Wlad's chin now. But that was a fairly clean punch, and Sprott had quite the arc on it. Harrison is finished; he's 35 and couldn't get by an English Journeyman.
Who is Audely to win against?! He is really so poor for his age and has brought it on himself! Who shoulds he fight next Tyson: Bruno????Quote:

If they fight again Audley would win.  I'm not like half the people here I don't hate Audley Harrison so from a boxing fans perspective watching that fight it looked like Sprott had his eyes shut when he threw that shot, McCall had his eyes shut when he beat Lennox Lewis.  
granted Audley is 35 but he didn't look bad up until getting knocked out.  
And be honest, all you fans of a fighter, if a fighter you liked(such as Margarito, or Oscar or etc) was winning the fight hands down and nearly stopped their opponent in the first round.  
What would you say?
I'm fully aware hald of you people hate Audley Harrison, but it doesn't take away that he was winning the fight hands down(in my eyes) before that shot.  
If they fight again then Harrison will win.  
If Wladimer comes back three times from situations like that and gets a title shot within 2 fights, then Audley probably will too.
Watching that though I doubt Sprott would fight Audley again because he knows that shot was once in a lifetime.
I've seen highlights of Audley's fight with Richel Hersisia and he was hit much harder then that.. the difference was his mouth wasn't wide open.
Yeah but who else could he face? The fact of the matter is he did get hit with the punch and the best don't...
Now who wants to face the guy who just lost to a guy named Michael Sprott?
So why did so many lesser fighters escape the wrath of Sprott?Quote:

Bye, Bye, Assforce! ::** :P :-*
I was at the Richel Hersisia fight and Audley tuck some massive shots off him and they did'nt bother him one bit he soaked it up and stopped him in 4 plain and simple Sprott was LUCKY!!
the best like Lennox Lewis? Like Julian Jackson? Like Herol Graham? There wa a fighter called the Magic man(the first one) who got knocked out so bad he didn't remember it. What about Aaron Pryor, and recently ROY JONES JR and also Sugar Shane Mosley almost getting ktfo in the second round against Forrest?Quote:

That's Oliver McCall not Michael Sprott. Everyone knew McCall was dangerous and that was Lennox' first loss.Quote:

He beat down Chris Byrd and McCline when beating those guys actually meant something. Audley on the other hand looked...I can't put into words how bad he looked against Guinn. He looked like a guy who had been blessed with a perfect build for boxing, fitted with trunks and gloves then stuck into the ring without ever having learned how to box. Guinn was giving him the fight. He was circling right, staying in that grey area where a the straight left could kill a guy, and throwing with his hands low yet Audley looked like he didn't know what to do.
When the best guy you've ever faced is...excuse me...Dominic Guinn and you gave a performance that haunts the dreams of boxing fans everywhere...and then you get knocked out by Michael Sprott, you're not getting a title shot. Especially at 35 years old.
The only thing Wlad and Audley have in common are gold medals.
I predicted a Sprott win.... 8)
Best fighter he fought was Danny Williams, and that rematch he looked pretty good from the youtube vid.Quote:

I'm not denying the knockout and I'm not an Audley "fan" I'm a fan of boxing. And I see that far too often. You've seen everything when you've heard a zab judah fan that he was dazed because he hit the back of his head on the canvas against Tszyu :lol: But when Audley Harrison gets knocked out everybody laughs and acts like he was losing the fight? He looked good from what I saw. No matter the opponent Audley was looking good up until the KO. I don't deny the KO, but you don't deny the performance prior. And if there's a rematch Audley will win probably.
Ok...fine...I won't deny a good performance against Michael Sprott. Now what is a good performance before getting KO'd against Michael Sprott worth anyways?Quote:

He thought he was going to be great, he talked about it in those terms and he got exposed as someone who was far inferior to what he thought he was.
That doesn't make him a child killer, or a heroin dealer. He's not out raping women in parks or robbing from defenceless old ladies (unless you count some of his opponents, lol) so I don't think he deserves all the contempt that he gets.
If he does decide to give it one more go I for one will root for him. I'd like to see his undoubted talent finally bear some fruit and I'd like him to prove his legion of critics wrong.
a rematch :)Quote:

I don't care how good he did in the 1st few rds. he got KO'd.....
Paulie fought better and better as the fight wen't on, when he faced Cotto now I'm hearing if Cotto gets passed Urkal & when hes done with Zab and Paulie gets passed his next opponent their might be a re-match.... ???
What the fwock for? :dontknow:

I think 'AssForce' should face Samuel Peter immediately. ;)
if Malignaggi and Cotto fight again it may be like Marquez Mabuza 2. Agree with me?Quote:

Sadly Sprott made news, but he isnt the news Harrison is. We all new how good he was , we didnt realize how bad Harrison is.
it wasnt lucky punch sprott had decent round 2 and was well on his way to winning round 3 before he knocked audley out he was hurting harrison with body shots and was giving audley trouble with left jab he snapped audleys head back with jab quite few timesQuote:

Forget about it Audley, you can fool some of the people some of the time.

listen to audley at the beginning ;D lol what a fool
Exactly. And this guy gets a world title fight? I think even is looking at Audley saying he's to soft...Quote:
