HARRISON v SPROTT, KHAN and EARL live on ITV1 & 4 17/2/07

[smashup]

Looking forward to this and i hope Audley wins but i just got a gut feeling that Sprott will put him on his back and win
Reason im saying that is because Sprott has fought and done well against taller opponents in the past but if Audley can get his Jab off early and fire in the Killer uppercuts he caught Williams so well with then he wins and wins early to mid fight.
All Hinges on whether Audley can get a ryhthm going early and take the centre of the ring.
Last chance surely for Audley.

I'm convinced Sprott will put up a much better fight than Williams did last time, and if Audley does a number on him that'll be impressive in my book, problem is i reckon it'll be a dull fight...wouldn't be surprised if Sprott is "robbed"

That Katsidis fella's meant to be a bit good isn't he? If that's the case then Earl's gonna get a hiding

I'm wondering is this Katsidis just a shit hot banger? Only seen highlights of him and Earl's form is much better. Bookies aint priced it up yet...

Man, this will be a good night's boxing, unfortunately I'll be Sky+'ing the early fights on ITV4 cause I'll be elsewhere, but I can't wait to see Harrison put down by Sprott. To be honest, I don't think Harrison has been in with the same class of fighters that Sprott has, and I expect it to be much much closer than Sprott's 11/2 suggests. Indeed, I will be putting my money where my mouth is with some cash on Sprott.

Chagaev, Vidoz, Virchis, Skelton, Williams, Corrie Sanders (early in his career). Sprott has plenty of experience and his record just reflects the quality he's been in with, as opposed to Harrison who can count Danny Williams and Dominic Guinn as the only decent fighters he's ever stepped through the ropes with.
(I can already hear the words 'I told you so' echoing in the back of my head)

Rocky can definetly bang, he had a very impressive KO victory over Ranee Ganoy who punches like a heavyweight, one of the hardest unknowns in this division, he has put an aussie champ to sleep with his viciouse rights, most thought he was another record padding opponent however he soon showed people otherwise via his victorys over not one but two australian champs, he defeated MicK Shaw by KO and defeated Allan Luxford via a viciouse overhand right and knocked him out cold.

If Earl stands any chance he should NOT underestimate Rocky otherwise he will wake up in a Hospital wondering wtf happen

Thanks for the ITV times, great forums.

I think Sprott has a good chance also, you're right Rhun his odds are a bit long, but im not a gambling guy, though I picked him to win by a split in the predictions thing. Saw one of his fights in Germany on eurosport where he got screwed against a taller guy, he looked pretty decent that night, and has been in with better fighters than Audley, should be a close fight.

Earl gives Khan some verbals..

Earl should be more concern about Katsidis (Rocky) then Khan. Katsidis is a tone better then Khan, i honestly feel that Earl has underestimated Katsidis & will get KTFO!

No disrespect to those Aussie fighters but that just highlights how much better Earls form is.

Reckon Katsidis looks the safest bet though, especially early

Bookies have them both a shade odds on.

Earl looked terrible last time out. The fella he fought was a hard nut but technically dreadfull and Earl looked all at sea. I can see him getting hammered to be honest.
