Thinking back to BEFORE the Enzo fight and comparing it to now: who's chances did you rate more against Haye, Enzo's or Audley's chances?
That's a good question and my answer would be Enzo. Something that makes me really worry for big Fraudley in this fight is something that Enzo said. He stated that he had been sparring Coleman Barret but he needed to bring in someone with better quality. Barret was beating Audley in Prizefighter before he was poleaxed.
Enzo by about 10% and considering I give Audley 0.1% chance its not saying much. I was amazed Enzo/Haye was largely considered 50/50.
I never gave Enzo much chance, though I know many did. Prefight I'd say I rated his chances more than Audley's though. Would I give Enzo more chance today though than Audley (perhaps a silly question because of the division switch)? Mmm I'm not sure I would. Cricky, even I'm starting to buy into it... Audley... just remember all those fights you've watched with him in, it's so easy to forget when the promoters get going...
Enzo was a big, strong, powerful, fast and skilled fighter who happened to be a world champion with 4 defences under his belt. Audley is a joke in comparison. Edit: I say this despite picking Haye to beat Enzo.
Didn't/Don't fancy either to beat Haye but Enzo was a far better opponent. He was an alphabelt holder and the fight was a genuine Battle of Britain contest between the top two Cruiserweights in Britain. Audley's got to be the 5th or 6th best Heavyweight we've got right now.
