    Adley's chin ? Sprott's power ? Luck ?

    None of those. A truly good fighter doesn't get hit with a shot like that, period.
    Audley has always been a fraud.

      I dont understand the concept of the 'lucky punch'.

      If the intention is to throw and land a big hurtful shot on your opponent, if it works, why is it 'lucky'?

      Even if a guy isnt a big puncher, it may be the best shot he has ever thrown, but its still not luck.

        I am so glad Audley got sparked, even if it was a lucky shot, Audley should have been defending himself. The shot was superb and the shot of Audley's legs folding and boucing on the floor was to be laughed at.

        All that boasting, all that bigging himself up, now look at the ponce. Sprott was fairly dire up until that lucky shot. At first i did think audley would dominate, and come out like he did against Danny Williams, but it just didn't happen.

        Audley should just pack it all in, and hit the theatre scene, maybe a part in Jack and the Beanstork, as the Beanstork that gets cut down to size.

        In my opinion, the Earl vs Katsidis fight was more worthy of the top bill.

          This is what i have questioned in the past. It was lucky in the sense in that it landed where he intended it to land. The alternative was him throwing the left hook and it missing by a mile. He was a lucky man in that it found its target if that makes any sense.

            As some other people have said, it was a swing. But it KO'd him. So really it doesnt matter. Obviously then though you get into the thread title's debate

              You know, I'm going to go a little against the grain on this one. Now I certainly enjoyed watching the Brits suffer when their boys go down as nothing is as annoying as the Brits talking up their fighters even before they have fought anybody, but I don't think this is the end of the world for Audley. It definitely wouldn't be if he was young. That was only the fourth time I've seen an Audley fight, but each time I've seen a very skilled fighter who doesn't seem to care to use his skill. He looked extremely good against Sprott and was heading towards an easy domination before that shot. I think Audley can contend, but I also think he cannot afford to fight another nobody. He has to step in and get a fight against someone every laughs about, thinking he'll get killed, but try to pick someone that would be easier than you think. Maybe say a Holyfield with his age. He's got to do something to show himself as relevant still (if he ever really has been). I think he CAN do it, though I wouldn't count on it.

                    Audley doesnt have the guts to step in with someone who everyone think will kill him. The man is a chicken ****
