Go Audley!

[Majesty]

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

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.

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.

He won a European title with one arm, cut him slack man, he fought 11 rounds with no right arm at all. Danny Williams win over Mark Potter is part of British boxing legend and I think that fight went about 6 rounds, Harrison fought a full fight one handed and Sprott, despite his losses is a class above Potter, plus had sparked Audley before.

He never gave up, never complained, and got the ko in the dying moments. If it was any other fighter he'd be getting credit.

Rounds 1 & 3, Audley boxes well, lands some decent shots and has Sprott in trouble, without the shoulder injury I ave to admit, much to my annoyance, that Audley would have taken out Sprott much earlier. Sprott however, took advantage of the situation and put in the workrate which was two minutes away from making him European champion.

Earlier on today, I mocked VD for picking Audley by KO in the prediction contest, I had Sprott by KO, and 30 or so seconds into the last rounds, Audley was on the ropes shipping punches and I was getting the faintest feeling of smugness.

Fair play to him, he's been drinking in the last chance saloon so often it's a surprise he has a functioning liver, but he found that punch from somewhere, and if he gets a shot at Dimitrenko.... (I think he'll get mullered) all the best to him.

I agree Dimitrenko beats him but this is Audleys night and probably the best night he'll ever have.I think stylistically Audley has a better chance against Haye of landing another lucky punch. That two fights in a row where Audley has laid an opponent clean out with 1 shot. He's getting a rep like Abraham at his level. I thought he was doing an "Abraham" On Sprot in the middle rounds - soaking up , letting the other guy punch himself out but it soon became clear that his right hand had gone.

Good Old Jim Watt disgraced himself again. Seconds before the Ko he said it was great tactics from Sprott to go at Audley

I just rewatched the last round cuz it was so good and the crowd reaction was crazy. Everyones faces were in shock and looking at each other in disbelief. He's defo left us with a memory. Finally Audley has done something pretty amazing so whatever happens from here on in he has had his moment. It wasnt a normal Friday fight night, that was a one off.

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.

I would LOVE to see him spark David Haye like that!

[jamiebhoy]

Fair play to him, won it one handed. The big fella couldn't have picked a better time to let his other nut drop at last, now we know he does have some balls after all !

[Dark Lord Al]

Lets face facts , Sprott is a respected fighter who has fought tough fighters.
1. He is a moderate puncher at top international level 17 ko's wins , but he shook A-Farce every time he connected.

2. Sprott out worked Fraudley , and he is much smaller naturally.

A-Farce is delusional , he has no stamina , no heart , not the biggest puncher , he doesn't even look comfortable taking jabs let alone power shots. I really hope he gets a shot at either the brothers grim or Haye , so they can shut his mouth once and for all .

Finally there is always an excuse with Fraudly win or lose , i was flat tonight / my hand hurts / i wasn't focussed / i didn't have good sparring BLAH BLAH BLAH .
How about you are a fucking joke as an analogy ?

Thats exactly what he proved he had.

Having witnessed the fight he got lucky , he has no heart believe me.

Majesty why is it you defend Audley so much but you hate on guys like Wlad for practically the same reasons?

[Fenster]

That was the luckiest win i've ever seen and I don't even believe in lucky wins.

Also,

I don't think his right arm was really injured, he was just terrified of getting countered with the left that sparked him last time. Which he did nearly get caught with in the 2nd round.

BINGO !, RIGHT ON THE MONEY .

I'm talking about people questionign Audley's heart. The dude had a messed up right arm only used his left and from what im reading in this thread threw combinations with it, and came back and won with a knockout with virtually one good arm when he was behind in a fight.

Any other fighter in this situation would be praised.

Audley isn't the savior of the heavyweights but nobody should be questioning his heart after all of that
