    I would actually be very tempted to put money on Audley to KO Wlad. Hold up, hang on, read what i have to say here first. :D Now i know it sounds crazy, but i honestly think the odds would be so astronomical as to make it worth a bet considering these factors:

    Harrison can punch, and Wlad's chin has been proven to be suspect. That alone would make it worth a speculative tenner or twenty quid if the odds turn out to be as ridicuously long as i'd expect them to be.

    Another thing that nags away at me is the fact that many of Wlad's usual advantages either dont apply or are far less prevalent against Harrison - no huge gulf in size, weight, & reach that he normally enjoys. Furthermore, while everyone knows Harrison doesnt like to "fight", neither does Wlad. Both of them are reluctant to go toe-to-toe, and prefer to box on the outside.

    Again, while Wlad is a better boxer than Audley, he doesnt have such a huge advantage in terms of technical boxing nous as he does against more technically limited guys who are better and more natural "fighters" than Audley.

    Would anyone else be tempted to stick a bet on Harrison or have i lost my mind here? :D What do you guys reckon the odds would be for a Harrison win or KO against Wlad?

    Mind...lost. I'm actually thinking you may be Audley himself.

    "Yes you can, Yes you can!"

    Wlad v Harrsion would be the most boring 'fight' in boxing history in my opinion.

    Andrew, it wouldn't last a round. Even Wladimir realizes Audley poses no thread at all.

    Im not saying that i actually think he will win, im saying that the odds will be so long for a two horse race that it might be worth a bet just incase the unthinkable actually happens. Some **** must have looked at the odds for David against Goliath and made a killing :D

    bollocks, as much as i don't like harrison, that punch was an absolute killer. I had sprott winning, and it pains me to say this, but the KO punch was one to be proud of.
    That punch would have at LEAST wobbled badly a klit

    You don't think that Harrison is capable of knocking Wlad out?? That surprises me

    I think we would see a new concept, boxing as a non contact sport.

    If Wlad doesn't duck Audley, there is no bookie in their right mind that would lay bets on Audley to win. It would bankrupt them.

    The year is 2010 - This is the year of A FORCE :D

    I think Harrison if he can survive the early - middle rounds could KO Haye

    I think Wlad would rather fight Haye tan fight Audley.
