    Audley showed a lot of heart in that match, he fought the majority of the fight with one arm and was behind on the cards when the KO came, i hope others can give Audley some praise.

    You can watch the whole fight if you want to and make up your own mind...

    its in 4 parts...and credit to Audley for getting the win cos he was 2 mins away from a UD points loss. Sprott was for most part winning the fight more agressive and taking the figh to Audley, and Harrison didn't seem to have much of an answer. Not very impressive apart from the KO moment. Defo looked like he was going to lose...and he to was staggered in the last round just a few seconds before the dramatic turnaround.

    Now...Harrison isn't orthodox...yet fought much of the fight leading with the left jab...and apart from the odd right jab when he was in his usual stance he wasn't using the right hand very much at all. So I am inclined to believe he did actually hurt his right hand. Fighting orthodox and hardly using the right all night suggests there must be a reason for this.

    So all in all credit to Audley for pulling out the win. BUT...Sprott isn't a world class opponent. So IMO despite the turnaround KO win it doesn't look to great for a 38yr old Audley. Usually if theres a marked difference in class between to fighters it shows..only in this fight it didn't! So I do wonder. It must all hang on that damaged hand. But its hard to get confident in Audleys promise of world domination. I'll be pleased to see him do well...but I'm a "believe it when I see it" person with him.

    Nope, seen the fight and knowing Audley a little he will now call out Haye for the WBA strap but if that happens it would be a tremendous mismatch. Sprott has been dominated by fringe contenders in the past, and the way he was on his way defeating Harrison (until the KO) says enough about Audley's level at the moment.
