Go Audley!

[GAME]

Yeah I actually believe his excuse for bad performance this time. He clearly was hurt cuz he didnt throw any right hads from the 4th onwards and still won by devastating KO so fair play I say.

He showed heart like Danny coming from behind against Potter with 1 arm but Danny was cheered like a hero but Audley was booed even when he won. Shame really. Maybe he would be better with 2 arms. . . ofcourse he would but I dont think he wins his next fight. Atleast he became European champ. Sprot must be gutted he went for it in round 12. His corner said to come firing back at Audley and it cost him the fight.

That is a great point. He was throwing with one hand, he deserves a lot of credit, he was well behind with one arm & found a way to win. He won't beat a Klitschko or Haye, but at least he's won a title at a respectable level.

Agreed he has now had a "respectable" career but the funny thing is if Haye missed with a power punch and Audley landed that counter, we know Haye would be unconcious aswel. Imagine that!!

Winning a vacant title against another fraud with 14 losses while stinking the whole place out ? You consider that a decent achievement ?

He won a vacant title because the previous owner somehow got a shot against Vitali. Regardless of the opposition, winning with a KO like that & with one hand is impressive. Sprott is no fraud. Anyone who gets in the ring deserves respect, particularly to keep coming back after being stopped.

Sprott is garbage to be honest, of course he deserves respect for getting in a boxing ring, any fighter does, but that doesn't make them good. Look at his past few fights, he's lost to some bums.

And the KO was decent, but it tells a different story of the fight. You cant ignore the previous 11 rounds were he got outboxed in every way, shape and form. Fact is when Fraudly steps up he's getting beat. I mean come on, people forget not so long ago an Irish taxi driver beat him. He scored a late KO win against a mediocre opponent after getting battered all night long, even Derek Chisora would smash Fraudly IMO.

All I have to say is Sprott just fought a 4 round fight as a tune up, if that doesn't tell you where he is in his career..

No wait, that's not all I want to say. To be fair, Sprott has lost to some pretty good opponents considering the state of the heavyweight division.

Harrison is still a bum!

When you win a European title with a devastating Ko against a guy who had previously knocked you out leme know yeah?

Ofcourse its a decent achievement. His shoulder had gone he wasnt using his right hand at all. The ref was against him, the crowd was against him, he was behind on the cards and yet he pulled it out when he needed to . What more do you want. You just cant give credit to the guy. Its not as if he is a rapist of something. Yet he is despised like no boxer Ive ever known. He is a athlete who is trying to make a living and has to put up with abuse everytime he fights and everytime he is mentioned in the papers. I dont envy him abit of success. Good on him. He was honest in the interview after and admitted he was behind. I loved it when he goaded the crowd after he landed that punch.

Congrats Audley !!!

Next stop . . . Greatness!!!

Its not a decent achievement when you got absoloutely outboxed all night long. Remember who Michael Sprott is as well, a borderline journeyman. Fraduly done what was expected in there, win by KO. Another 2 minutes and he would have his gloves safely hung up. Dont matter though. It will happen sooner rather than later.

I think Audley has so much talent and can bang just a shame he is so frustrating, il give him a pass tonight because it was clear he was injured but I still cant see him doing anything at all, call me daft but if Haye cant get the Klits in the ring is there a bigger money fight than fighting Audley out there??

More than likely do great PPV numbers at sky and will probably get the casual fan interested the media could build it saying Audley is back with his devestating ko they can just bypass the previous 11 rounds when reporting on it, i seriously could see this fight happening.

Yeah I can actually see Haye vs Audley happening now and I give Audley a punchers chance which I didnt before tonight



When the punch landed Ian shouted " oh what a fight. what a punch "

Seconds before the punch landed Audley was rocked by a left hook and an uppercut and they were saying Audley might not see the round out then all of a sudden he just turned Sprott onto the ropes and put him to sleep with 1 shot. Best KO of the year

[ryanman]

Got to say well done to Audley. I definately believe him about his shoulder so it was a decent performance really for a one armed man. And what a spectacular KO! That will be a contender for most spectacular KO of the year. I like Audley and he does have heart (in some ways) but tonight will represent the peak of his career. I feel bad for Sprott mind but thats because I'm just a softy.


PS Them one armed combos he threw twice were pretty good. Thats damn hard to do.

PPS I can't believe I almost sound like an Audley fan in this post.

[0james0]

A win is a win. Let's not forget Froch and many others are champions from a 12th round knockout. That's the great thing about boxing. I actually thought he was going to topple in that round and then from no where!

Was a great shot. At first I, like most other people thought it was simply an undeserved lucky win. Then I thought more and now I think fuck it, he won the fight with one hand, Sprott looked solid, avenging a knockout mentaly is tough and he does want to do well. I hope he gets a Klitscho and I'll even cheer him on! (although i'm not deluded enough to think he might actually win!)

He annoys me, but his career facinates me!

Imagine Audley vs Valuev, would be the least punches thrown ever and a real insomnia cure.

From what I;m reading dude Audley only had one arm, he only had his left arm because his right arm was gone and reading through here he apparently threw combinations with that arm only. Are you really gonna bash on Audley for getting outboxed when he only had one arm and completely disregard the fact he had a come from behind win with one arm in the last round in dramatic style digging down deep and showing that he DOES have heart? If you are gonna just brush that aside you're just hating.

I have to be honest and not all of sudden flip flop like is way too common these days and say mostly i have just considered audley a pretty big joke but you know what big big congrats on this win. I didn't see it but the way it's being written about the big guy finally showed some ooooohhhmmfffff. Guess it's time to start calling out floyd now. Wins like this usually draw that response. Forget all the shit talk audley (hell even this rant) for tonight and celebrate, can't wait to see the fight for myself.
