    Last Chance For Audley
    This content is protected

    Promoter Frank Warren has handed Audley Harrison one more lifeline to prove he can fight as well as he can talks.

    The 36 year-old faces Irishman Martin Rogan at the ExCel Arena in London on December 6 and Warren has stated that if Harrison does not impress this time his career with him will be over

    Warren said: “He’s got to do it this time because if he doesn’t then it’s all over as far as I’m concerned.”
    Harrison was booed constantly by the crowd when he once again bombed in out-pointing Brazilian journeyman George Arias back in September.

    I think Aud should give the game up, and stop wasting undercard slots - which could go to a young prospect.

    Not likely to ever happen, audley said he'd only fight him if they we're both world champions, he also admitted that Haye got the best of him in sparring, but there both apparently really good friends.

    Audley will certainly go down as one of the biggest flops in Olympic history. Khan looks to be following this path himself. Just goes to show how worthless the Olympics now are thanks to the IOC.

    In what sense?

    The stupid scoring which encourages running?

    The scoring. The action. The fighting or lack of. The running. Its simply not a reflection of the pro ranks. Guys dont go to fight they go to score points. Audley and Khan are perfect examples of the amateur system.

    Problems with amateur boxing.......

    1. Referreeing
    2. Failure to score jabs, body shots and combinations
    3. Lack of point deductions for holding and running
    4. Headguards
    5. Standing counts
    6. Premature stoppages

    Good things about amateur boxing.....

    Erm......

    1. No ducking

    That's about it!

    Please, I know Amir Khan is hardly flavour of the month round here but let's not insult him by putting him into Audley's bracket.

    Khan is busy and aggressive, wanting to put on a show for the crowd. Total opposite of Audley.

    This is good news either way - either Audley gives a fired-up performance, or more likely will not fight again. Win-win.

    Rogan vs Audley should be a good fight. Rogan has the potential to go all out and try and KO A-Force but Audley if he can stand a bit of fight could box well and actually impress us all.


    Would like to see the winner face Chisfattyora.
