    The fans boo because they work long hours at ordinary jobs and pay hard earned money to watch fights. when a guy like Audley proclaims that he will clean up the heavy division and proceeds to fight like my mother the fans understandably feel robbed.

    Yes every fighter deserves respect for the hard work and guts it takes to get into the ring but on the other side of it the fans deserve to be treated with respect and not be pick pocketed by the empty promises of a guy who never fulfilled the promise his talent suggested. Audley simply never transcended from the amateurs to the pro's for whatever reason. He started believing his own hype and when you do that and then don't deliver there is no where to hide from the fans.

    Personally I would never boo a fighter - I would vote with my feet and my pocket by either not going or not paying to watch his fights but I understand why a lot of fans react that way.

    I found the booing amusing against Arias.. he seemed boosted by the crowd rooting for him.. making it a watchable fight (for me anyway ).

    It was a bit out of order booing Audley after Sprott sparked him. That's over stepping the mark IMO.

    Because there were big things expected of him and he is letting british boxing fans down. And win a world title? Come on seriously! I know the division is at quite a low point at the minute but there are still at least 10 heavys that would obliterate Harrison IMO.
