That sucks...I hope he chooses Skelton over Harrison though

It's an OK stay busy fight I suppose.

I agree with 99.99% of your posts, but not this one.

It ****ing stinks that a heavyweight champ is fighting ****s like these 2 losers. Boxing stinks like **** sometimes.

How the hell the Audley Harrison deserve a shot? He took 5 rounds to KO some guy.
He should've chose John Ruiz or possibly Tye Fields...

I'd prefer he fight somebody better but the point of this fight is to stay sharp for the Klitschko fight down the line, he doesn't want to ruin his payday by taking a risky fight.

They could choose a better voluntary defense than Audley or Skelton. After all this is for the coveted WBC title!

Skelton just had a title shot and is coming off a loss, while Audley just has that win over a clubfighter.

I think King will choose Audley for Peter, because Skelton would be the more dificult opponent. Harrison is an easy win.

C'mon Audley!

He will win if he goes for the KO.

This is another thing that ****s me off. Why the **** should Champions be allowed to fight losers so they don't risk losing a "payday"?

I know it's the nature of the business and all that, and it aint gonna change anytime soon, but the champs should be fighting the BEST opposition in every fight. They are the CHAMPIONS, they should act like they are.

It's so frustrating, the ethics of boxing makes me tear my hair out sometimes.
