Just another RBR - Harrison v Williams, Khan v some random french chap

[superheavyrhun]

Evnin all,

Another day another possibly dreadful twelve rounder between two mediocre British heavyweights. But hell, they're the best we got so I can't complain too much.

Danny "Mr Kipling" Williams - (36-5-0; 29 KOs) The big puncher who made his name, and his career almost solely in a 4th round KO of an ageing Mike Tyson, and a brave 8 rounds against Vitali Klitschko before he was finished in the 8th. More recently his weight problems have been some of the more significant and interesting aspects, with a first snoozer against Audley, and a more recent snoozer against Matt Skelton in June. The first war with Skelton was however very entertaining, so there is hope, despite the pedigree of this fight to be another dreary 12.

Audley "Parcel Force" Harrison - (20-2-0; 15 KOs) - The much heralded Olympic super-heavyweight champion was hailed as a great hope in some quarters after his Olympic success, but what ensued as Harrison refused to sign up with a big manager left him building a career beating bums across Britain, before claiming a nothing WBF belt against an undefeatet Richel Dersisia, who equally had no names whatsoever on his record. Then came two defeats on the trot, as Harrison finally met some proper opposition in a snoozer v Danny Williams, and then a dreary defeat against former prospect Dominic Guinn. Since then he beat American no-hoper Andrew Greeley.

As far as I can see, this is a must win fight for both of these guys if they wish to have any aspirations beyond British title glory. Audley is in another put-up or shut-up fight, and defeat here would condemn him to either retirement or a lifetime of purgatory battling bums in fairs across the minority boxing states of America. As for Danny, demand for a third fight against Skelton might be slightly boosted if he wins, and if he doesn't he is still mandatory for undefeated British champ Scott Gammer in a possible February bout.

I'm actually really looking forward to tonights boxing.

Even though the last fight was terrible I can only remember the last two rounds now and remember it being really entertaining in a kind of 'Oh my god, I can't believe they are so dire, kind of way'

I reckon it will be an entertaining fight. I'm hoping Amir gets stretched a bit tonight. If he's forced to go 10 rounds that would be ideal. It's also worth mentioning that this will be his first fight at light welter so an interesting fight for me.

The disappoinment here though is that if he moves to welterweight we will probably never see him in the ring with Kevin Mitchell, Ricky Burns, Carl Johannasson, maybe not even Graham Earl or John Thaxton and I was looking forward to some of those fights.

I'm guessing that a couple years down the road he will be challenging Junior Witter if he still has his belt.....

I got £10 on Danny, go go!

CC for the RBR mate

The clown who interviewed Frank didnt chose his words too well did he? "Your head doesnt know what it thinks"

Bruno was clearly a bit baffled by that.

Ive got Audley to TKO an exhausted Williams late in the fight.

Thanks.... for taking the time...

I got £10 on Danny, go go!

I'm ALL IN for a Khan win via TKO....

Okay, so the Audience with Lionel Richie, which was on TV before the big fight has drawn to a close with some absolutely cracking songs, and I'm perched on the couch of my mates house with a strange tangle of wires, cables anda bottle of pop next to me. I hope you're right bilbo, this could possibly be a good one, beelzebub's promotion with 'Last Chance Saloon' could be a masterstroke, as that is exactly what it is.

Manfredo is at ringside, he needs a slap that man, and Joe C will deliver numerous slaps Lets rumble! Sorry bro, my mate doesn't have digital, so i'm just checking in now. How was the earlier fight?

#225 right on brother !

Lionel Ritchie makes it impossible to sing along with him, all over the shop.

Box on.

Bruno was clearly a bit baffled by that.

Ive got Audley to TKO an exhausted Williams late in the fight.

He also had a runny nose, which could stem from partaking in some culumbian marching powder before hand as he is sometimes acustomed to ?

I also think your on with the result, people are saying Danny is fit because he has lost weight, he doesnt have any stomach deffinition, a person who doesnt excercise doesnt have as big a hunger, they dont feel the need to fuel their tired muscles with calories

[superheavyrhun]

They've given this one heck of a build-up 15 minutes of pre-fight hype and films. Maybe they assume that Danny will get a uquick KO. Audley not getting a good reception, a chorus of boos greet him, and maybe the hood on his robe might cover his ears from his own unpopularity. He looks a little nervous, trying to talk the talk, but he needs to show some balls tonight if he ever wants to fight again.

Danny getting the crowd's welcome. He looks calm and focussed, and despite what the bookies say, I am going to have to go with Williams for this one, he's back at 19 stone, and he really doesn't like Harrison. I have sacrificed a pig asking that this not be another boring cagey fight, and I dont' think it will!

[Memphis]

Williams is cracking me up just sitting there

[superheavyrhun]

Ref said "Behave yourselves, do as your told."

Round 1

Audley sends a straight through th guard. Catches Williams with an uppercut. Good left rocks Williams back, he looks motivated. Audley hits again with an uppercut. Danny throwing nothing, looks to wrestle Harison. Audley's jabs are still a little pawing. Good straight right again from Harrison. Lots of hugging again. Williams hooks to the body in the clinch. Williams looks a little lethargic.

Harrison 10-9

[ross]

Danny is not fit

[superheavyrhun]

Danny's never fiy, a cut on the nose though.

Round 2:

Harrison slips, and as Williams looked to hit him, Harrison has a little whinge. Williams keeping his guard high. Bit of a wrestle, and Williams grinding his head. The ref already having a tough time. Nice uppercut by Harrison. The ref is having a look at the cut on Williams. DEanny wants to go on, they're back at it. Williams is rocked by uppercuts and straight rights. Williams swings wildly. Good body shots from Harrison. Williams comes back with big hooks to the body, Harrison tying up, roughhouse tactics. Straight left from Harrison, this is a cracker!

Harrison again, 20-18
