I'm hoping for an Audley Harrison win against Danny Williams.....why? Because plain and simply I find Harrisons deluded big headed ego less annoying than Danny Williams pie eating, plodding, lazy, born again religious, inconsistent, talented yet useless wobbly arse.

I also hate Dannys beard.....it's annoying. Whether that is reason enough to dislike a man or not is another matter....but saying that DG has based his entire hatred of Crooks on his ginger hair....

Seriously though.....surely Dannys had his chance and Audley deserves one last chance to prove to us that he's worth our interest?

I must say, I've always found Danny more annoying then Audley. I thought I was the only one......

Nah, I find old wobbly arse much more annoying than old gobshite!

Yes I want audley to win too.

I was backing Skelton to win, but now I want Audley to win just for the sake of seeing old Billy Bunter retire. He'd never be able to come back from a loss to Audley.

Knowing the way it goes, Williams will lose this one on points, setting up a big rubber match between the two in 2007. With; "The winner getting a title shot", but in reality, the winner gets to fight Skelton.

Not JUST because he is Ginger. Remember he is a Lottiiiooooooon Mannnnnnnnnnn!


I don't really hate him!..

As for DW - COME ON AUDLEY!!!

There is no chance that Danny is coming in under 21 stone.

I think Harrison will stop Williams. This is a fantastic chance
to avenge that defeat last year.

audley needs to deliver and prove he can really fight.

he ain't proved shit so far.

come on danny boy.

williams knocking him flat last year was a classic moment.

let's see it again danny.

dongle.

let's have this f*cking avatar bet then.

come on danny boy.

i'm getting behind danny and i'm confident of a repeat victory.

who's Audley?

maybe you should look at the weigh-in results and the sort of shape danny is in compared to audley before doing any sort of betting on this fight. this could be an audley win if danny has'nt been training.

stay out of it u.

i got dongle this time.

Bah humbug! Danny Williams didn't even win the first fight.....and that knockdown was pure luck, a wild swing that cuffed (literally, it was Williams wrist that made contact) Harrison around the side of the head! I favoured Harrisons running to Williams plodding anyday.

Harrison knows this is his last chance, he WILL produce something......maybe not a virtuoso performance, but he'll do enough to lay the smackdown on the blubber monster!

Williams shouldn't even be considering this fight at a weeks notice. Goes to show how much he's in Frank Warrens pocket after pulling out of what would have been the first Skelton fight at late notice!

I'm going with a Harrison TKO (yes TKO). Williams will be even more out of shape than usual, Audley is wise to the plodding, has already tasted a few of Williams shots and knows he can take them......he almost had Williams out of there in the later stages......he'll finish the job this time.

Avatar bet taken!

Former world title challenger Danny Williams comes in at a week's notice for the injured Matt Skelton (hand injury) against the man he licked a year ago, Audley Harrison.
Williams took away Harrison's unbeaten record in a stinking fight last December, dropping him in the 10th to secure a split decision two rounds later (Audley was lucky to get the split).
Williams then took away Skelton's unbeaten record in a bruiser two months later, though it was close (a genuine split decision) and they met again in the summer. This time Williams made it easy for Skelton with his weight - a whopping 20st 8lbs - and was easily outboxed and outpointed (unanimous).
"I think Danny trained for the same kind of fight he had in February, a bit of a brawl, but he got it wrong," said promoter Frank Warren. "But you have to lift your hat off to Matt Skelton because he changed his tactics and they worked. Danny was trying to take him out with a single shot and he looked very laboured."
So Williams has something to prove going into this one. Harrison has everything to prove.
Once the toast of the nation, the former Olympic champion gave a shockingly-negative performance against Williams, as the nation looked on in disbelief. In front of eight million viewers on ITV1 and a sellout crowd of 15,000, Harrison went into a shell under pressure. He just couldn't put anything together. He still couldn't four months later in California, where faded American Dominick Guinn easily outworked and outscored him over 10 rounds.
I'm now convinced Audley only won super-heavyweight gold in the 2000 Sydney Olympics because he mastered a computer scoring system based around eyecatching single shots. He prodded his way to victory in the amateurs and prodded his way to 19 victories in the pros, before Williams and Guinn walked through his single shots, roughed him up and proved Harrison - a career amateur - is still fighting to that damned computer.
He struggles to let the punches flow.
Since losing to Guinn, the big, wide-eyed southpaw has managed a three-round win over small American Andrew Greeley in Atlantic City in June - but now for a real fight again. A real fighter. Williams shook up the world knocking out Mike Tyson in four rounds in Lousiville in July 2004, a win that secured him a shot at Vitali Klitschko for the WBC heavyweight title in Las Vegas five months later. Danny struggled to get close to the 6ft 7½in Ukrainian but gave it everything before he was rescued in the eighth.
You know, Harrison only took on Danny last year because he was sure the Brixton man was 'shot' after the Klitschko effort, but Danny had something left, not least his power. He's stopped a whopping 29 of his 36 victims, including a 32-second blowout of New Zealand's world class Kali Meehan in 2001. He has real experience - takes part in his 18th 12-rounder next Saturday - and plenty of guts. He survived a dislocated right shoulder to finish Mark Potter with a huge left uppercut back in 2000, and a shocking array of fouls to outmuscle Skelton in their first encounter.
Only his weight lets him down. Danny, who admits to a sweet tooth, has come in heavier and heavier down the years and peaked (hopefully) at the 20st 8lbs for the Skelton rematch. "Lord almighty, he couldn't move," gasped Henry Cooper. Danny, by the way, was on 'standby' for this fight and would have been in training. He was also due to challenge burly Welshman Scottt Gammer for the British title early next year and, again, would have been training.
But a week's notice!
There's no doubt Harrison will be better prepared after the weeks and weeks of training for scary Skelton. Indeed, Audley will never have a better chance to erase the stigma of his first Williams performance. To gain his revenge. He wobbled Williams in the 11th round of their snoozer - a round after being floored - and has the physical tools at 6ft 5ins to pick off the shorter, slow on his feet Danny.
But will he go for it? It's incredible, really. An Olympic gold medallist, a pro five years, and we still don't know if Audley has what it takes. His build up has been blighted by a bizarre decision to quit world class trainer James "Buddy" McGirt for Thel Torrence, the trainer in his corner last time against Williams. He's two years older than Danny, too, at 35.
As ever, he has talked a good fight.
But there can be no excuses, no words, if he fails to perform this time. Quite simply, to avoid ignominy, the man has to.
