I don't know.... Sprott is on a losing run, but has at least been facing decent opposition. Harrison has had one proper fight in three years against Rogan, and lost - then beat three very average opponents in Prizefighter.... one of them had been put away inside a minute by Tyson Fury. C'mon Sprotty lad!
I gotta say I have zero interest in this fight at all ..... all the young up coming heavy weights in this country and sprott is the best we can come up with !
If I remember correctly, Audley was winning handily against Sprott and floored him until he was hit with a Hail Mary shot from Sprott. Audley was coming off his career best performance and was full of confidence when he met Sprott first time around, but I still expect him to beat Sprott this time - he will just be more cautious.
Yes, indeed he was - on both counts, probably a career best win and was ahead having had Sprott down. The main point was that Sprott is the more ''live'' of the two - not that it really matters much in this matchup on reflection.... he's mainly been losing, albeit to decent fighters, whereas Harrison has had a few lengthly layoffs truncated with his Prizefighter win. The only outcome that would surprise me is Sprott outpointing Harrison. Either can knock the other out, Audley could outbox Sprott handily.
Same fight as Williams - Harrison 2, under prepared fighter takes the payday at short notice gets his ass handed to him by Audley papering over the massive cracks once more. HO HUM Should have delayed it by a few weeks and got in Sexton, Chisora, or a decent European, cant believe anyone would pay to see this.
x2 but I can understand the reaction of posters on here as neither has done **** all to warrant a shot at the title. Audley will win this and then he can say he was European HW champ :shock:
If Audley works the big shot of his jab like he did in Prizefighter he'll stop Sprott. If not Sprott will probably win a decision.
Still amazes that the Williams vs Harrison snoozefest on ITV got over 10 mill viewers, just shows what you can do with a little publicity and name recognision.
Last time I saw Sprott he gave a good effort over the distance against Brewster: dropped, but didn't disgrace himself. Seeing as Sosnowski had 0 pulling power, who reckons Vitali will make another quickfire defence against Big Aud' two months after Sosnowski?
It shouldn't be for the European title but I'm very happy to see the rematch. Audley needs to avenge that loss big time. Then he can look to a comebacking Rogan and Guinn. I'll never take him serious if he can't beat that class of fighter.
