Im Sorry But Williams Is Simply Going To Lose.

[C.T.D]

Danny Williams and Audley Harrison have a fight coming up on December 10.

You could say that Danny Williams has the massive advantage, on paper. However when it comes down to it, what has Danny Williams achieved that Audley Harrison has'nt other than a tainted win over Mike Tyson a while back.

Personally I think Audley will outbox Danny Williams. Here is an article about the coming match-up:

Danny Williams believes a devastating sparring session with Audley Harrison several years ago gives him the upper hand going into their fight at the ExCel Arena in London December 10.
Williams claims he beat up the then amateur prior to Harrison winning the gold medal at the Sydney Olympics, and that those mental scars will haunt the unbeaten heavyweight.

"All I can see is the old Audley having flashbacks from our sparring session and wanting to quit when the pressure is on him," said Williams, who has had one comeback win since failing in a world title challenge against Vitali Klitschko 12 months ago.

"I can't see how it will not affect him on the night. He will claim that he was an amateur back then and that it was five years ago but in his head he remembers what he went through."

Harrison has built an unconvincing 19-0 profile since turning pro and has been universally criticised for the slow pace of his career.

Williams remains unconcerned of any threat, prefering to recall that sparring session.

"I remember when he came to the gym and agreed with my trainer Jim McDonnell to go four rounds with me.

"The first two rounds were good and I was getting the better of him and he was starting to blow like an old man.

"At the end of the second round he said to Jim that he'd had enough and wanted to get out. Jim said no as we agreed to do the four rounds.

"He reluctantly stayed in for the third and that's when I got to work on him and really started smashing him up.

"At the end of the third round Audley said `That's it, I'm getting out,' but Jim tried to encourage him by saying `If you quit now you're accepting the silver medal,' to which he got back in and did the last round, but he was in a right state after that.

"Audley said he would come back and do some more sparring but we never saw him again and the first time I have seen him since was at the head-to-head press conference to announce our fight."

The bitter rivals go head-to-head on the same card as Matt Skelton's British heavyweight title defence against John McDermott.

It is another low-key defence for Skelton, whose initial opponent Kevin McBride withdrew earlier in the week.

Basildon's 'Big Bad John' has made slow progress through the British ranks, and takes a 19-2 record into the contest after losing to Mark Krence for the vacant English title 12 months ago.

Williams is a idiot...

I hope he gets knocked out cold for at least 5 minutes so he can have second thoughts about what he just said...

"It will still haunt him...."

uh....sorry mr williams, but not everyone is a ***** like you.

I agree man. I think Williams will get outboxed, maybe not Knocked out. But that would definetly work for me too.

I think Harrison is the favourite because Williams hasn't got much left... And Vitali really beat the crap out of him in his last fight. (Not sure what that's taken out of him).

But.... Williams has achieved far more than Audley Harrison in boxing.

Williams has won and defended the British and Commonwealth title 8 times. He's challenged for the European belt before, he knocked out Mike Tyson, and he's challenged for the legitimate heavyweight championship of the World.

OK, he was un successfull in his two bids to become World or Euro champion, but you have to beat enough good people to get yourself into that position.

Audley Harrison isn't even in a position to challenge for the British title yet, let alone European or World title.

Danny Williams has acheived far more in his boxing career.

Yeah i admit, Williams has gone further i suppose. But as Tha_Greatest said, "the what?". Those titles are insignificant, and it would take about 8 fights for Audley to top that feat. He could quite easily get good recognition by the public and by the boxing boards in 8 fights, enough at least to surpass those achievements of Williams.

Nevertheless, Williams loses to Harrison on December 10.

British title is not an insignificant title... It's more prestigous than most of the alphebet world titles on the market.

Winning a British title fight isn't a walk in the park... and EVERY great British fighter in history that's gone on to win a World title has held the British title at some stage!

There's a hell of a lot more to boxing than just the World titles, and World title fights. There are some amazing fights at domestic level!

I think the belt in American called USBA is a similar thing to a British title, and it means you're the American champion. I'm sure young fighters all over America would like to get their hands on that belt to prove that they're going on to great things.

Of course yes. The British Title is good for fighters, its never an unhealthy sign.

But i would argue that a British Title is something in the grasp of Amir Khan within his next 12 fights. I suspect much less than that in fact, but 12 as a maximum. For Danny Williams to have only won a British/Commonwealth title at this stage, is simply not good enough. Of course if he had won the title, and then gone onto better things like you say, then all credit to him. But he hasnt.

Thats how i see it.

Yeah, but in all truth - Danny Williams tried to go on to better stuff but just wasn't good enough to cut it.

The youngest person to ever win a British title was the welterweight David Barnes who won it in his 13th fight, (That fight was a points win, and the result was booed by the crowd, and was classed as very controversial)... Either way it would be one hell of triumph for Amir Khan to get himself up to British title level within 12 fights!

Hey, Amir Khan has stated, he wants to become the youngest World Champion coming out of Britain. I would back him in earning the British title within his next 12 fights, quite easily. So that would be a latest of 15 fights until he gets his hands on a belt. That sound reasonable to me, and Amir Khan is heading that way. He is really determined to succeed, and quickly!
