Don't really think that Audley deserves it, Skelton should be fighting for a belt...

[nigel2smooth79]

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...

[OumaFan]

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.

[AdamGB]

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...

[Tam Seddon]

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!

[Pugilistic]

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

[Tito BHB]

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...

[El Kabong]

Someone was asking why Americans dislike British fighters.....look no further than this fight right here!

Hey Matt fancy a title shot? "Nah, I'll fuck around with some shmoe who ain't worth a damn!"

[OumaFan]

Ok I must have missed this somehow, what title shot did Skelton turn down?

[El Kabong]

Maskaev I believe

[OumaFan]

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

[El Kabong]

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

Hey Matt fancy a title shot? "Nah, I'll F*** around with some shmoe who ain't worth a damn!"

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.

[AdamGB]

People don't seem to have considered this either. but at 39 and with a shot at a title that he turned down... maybe his management know something we don't?
