Entire HW division running scared of the <<< A-BOMB >>>

Good Sprott hit the rope to be honest.

 

I think the U.S Government beat me to it in the 1940's.


Did you see Wlad duck A-Force in that video he made? It's almost as if he's pretending he didn't see the Sprott fight and that Audley doesn't exist. :-(

 

Audley speaks after dramatic KO

"The best punch I&#8217;ve ever thrown"

Lawrence Lustig

Heavyweight Audley Harrison saved his boxing career with a sensational last-round knockout to win the vacant European heavyweight title on Friday night in London. Harrison, who suffered a ripped tendon in his right shoulder in the second round, fought most of his fight against Michael Sprott using only one hand. Despite trailing and being two minutes away from a career-ending defeat, Harrison knocked out Sprott with a sensational left hook.

&#8220;My career was on the line so losing wasn&#8217;t an option,&#8221; said the 38-year-old Harrison. &#8220;I had to find a way to win and I knew the left would be the one that gets him. When it landed I just walked away because I knew it was over. It&#8217;s definitely the best punch I&#8217;ve ever thrown, especially in those circumstances, but it would&#8217;ve knocked out anyone &#8211; including the Klitschkos. It was championship-winning material. It was a Hail Mary of a punch that would&#8217;ve taken out any heavyweight in the world.&#8221;

Regarding the injury, he stated, &#8220;I had an operation in 2002 when I ripped a tendon and I think I did the same thing again. The pain was excruciating but there was absolutely no way I was going to quit. Not once did I think about quitting. You open people up with the jab but because of my injury I didn&#8217;t have a jab but luckily I&#8217;m a quick learner. It was hard for me to pick up any rounds and I&#8217;ve never boxed on the orthodox side before. I felt so hampered but I never lost hope. In the sixth I hurt him with an uppercut and a hook but it was hard to get going.&#8221;

After winning Olympic gold in 2000, Harrison&#8217;s professional career had, before this win, failed to live up to its early promise. He admitted he was in &#8216;the last-chance saloon&#8217; ahead of this Matchroom Sport-promoted contest at Alexandra Palace in north London.

In the build-up, Sprott, 35, claimed Harrison did not have the heart to beat him but Harrison believed the manner of this victory would silence his critics.

&#8220;I would like someone to ask Michael if he still thinks I have no heart,&#8221; added an emotional Harrison, who is expected to be out of action for at least six weeks. &#8220;I showed a lot of courage to fight with one hand and I showed the heart and desire that I wanted to become the European champion.

&#8220;Winning the gold medal is something no one can take away but this is sweet and has brought tears to my eyes. People have said a lot of bad things about me and I&#8217;m crying because I&#8217;m proud of what I&#8217;ve done in these circumstances. When you work hard you get your rewards and I work hard every day in the gym. Some people do not understand but I&#8217;m real and I don&#8217;t make any apologies for who I am. For me to find that shot when I needed it most says something about me. I said it would be something special and no one can say that wasn&#8217;t special.

&#8220;I have a tick next to determination, a tick next to pride, a tick next to heart and a tick next to punching power. I did 12 grueling rounds, most of them with one hand. I showed plenty of bottle, plenty of desire, plenty of spirit and plenty of heart &#8211; any boxer could see that. The battle was hard and I wanted it to be hard. Now people can see how much I want to be a world champion and there is no doubt in my mind that I will be one before I retire, no matter what people say about me.&#8221;
