I can recall Johnny Nelson fighting Arias years ago but can't remember anything about it If you weren't going to pay for the PPV this fight might sway you :hey
"late replacement Arias will be no pushover, boasting a 51-41-10 record" If he is no pushover, Audley needs to find another career.
I had a look at Boxrec, he is 41-10, the 51 must be the number of contests he has had! Nelson schooled him to be honest - with the long running bad blood between Nelson and Harrison I would like to be a fly on Nelson's living room wall if an upset occurs.
This fight doesn't help Audley much, he should be getting a real fight to position himself well for a final run in 2009. Now he will have to take on another fight till the end of the year to get there. I think Warren could have offered around some good money and he would have gotten names like Bakhtov, Minto, Drummond, Skelton, Guinn or Sprott.
Audley has bad blood with both Nelson and Williams Read Nelson's book for reasons why - I can't remember off hand and a mate of mine has the book, whilst I think everyone knows why Fraud and Danny don't see eye to eye.
At 10 days notice, Id love to see you line up one of those opponents. Sprott its alleged was offered the fight, and turned it down because of the length of time for training, which is fair enough. People seem to love Rogan but slag this guy off. Arias managed to go the distance with Sinan Samm and Taras Bidenko in recent times. Oh no wait he didnt go the distance with Paul King tho, he must be naff. At 10 days notice. Id love to see some of you guys do better.
I think this Arias bloke could beat Audley, he obviously does mind getting punched in the head and he's 60/40 in wins and losses. He could make A-Force fold if he pressures him. And Audley is kidding himself if he thinks he's getting another title shot. he's ****ing **** and everyone knows it.
