As for audrey, well he seems to have the physical attributes, but the heart i'm afraid just isn't there.
The last round was good, and an extra 2 would have been interesting, but his lack of jab is frightening for someone of his build.
How he won an olympic gold is beyond me, but maybe the head guard helped, though hs stats tonight - not a single body shot landed - maybe show that he hasn't moved on from then at all.
I hope you're right about him fighting again, but i fear that he'll be around for a while yet

I remember his pro debut, the BBC made such a big deal about it, and he was up against a guy whose previous defeat was a TKO loss to my Gran! I saw his last fight in the uk against Danny Williams, at best on a half decent domestic pro, and he got a lesson. I think you are right in him stickin araound, but I cant imagine who would want to see him.
Keep an eye out for Craig Watson, young british lad from failsworth, manchester, got more of a future than ordinary ever had

Re: Calling all boxing fans
Just watched Zab Judah V Mayweather replay from last week's PPV. Bit of a damp squib. Some in the ring shennanigans from Maywether's corner was the best bit of the fight.
**SPOILER**
Not sure where Judah goes from here??

Byrd is game fighting him over there - if it goes the distance he has no chance on the cards, but i'll never forget how shocked the german crowd was when corey sanders put their adopted son on his arse - very funny.
For the sake of the division though i hope klitschko finishes it clinically after 6 or 7 rounds.

Re: Calling all boxing fans
Looks like the end of the road for Belfast bantamweight Damien Kelly...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/4923326.stm
Classy little fighter who unfortunately lacks any real power and cuts badly too, but by all accounts he was robbed last night. Spoke to a mate who was at the fight who said it was the worst decision he has ever witnessed and the Italian champion couldn't believe it when he got the decision.
Apparently some gambling sites were allowing betting during the fight and Kelly was trading at 1/100 during the last round as punters anticipated the judges' verdict.
The fact that one judge gave it to the champ by 6 rounds shows what a farce it apparently was.
Will be hard for Kelly to come back from this blow, especially at this age - bad stuff.
