A-Force Strikes Back?

Well, it looks like 'Fraudley Harrison', the 2000 Olympic gold-winner, is getting his butt back into gear. Audley 'A-Force' Harrison up and beat the piss outta Danny Williams in a rematch of the fight that nearly ended Harrison's career.

Danny Williams is not a bad heavyweight, but he never was as good as the 'Tyson conqueror' moniker would suggest. He got lucky that a shot Tyson blew out his knee, and he made the most of it. I don't know if it's time for him to hang up the gloves, but unless he has another fight with Matt Skelton, there's not likely to be another big-money fight for him.

Harrison was seen by many as the stylistic heir of Lennox Lewis, and while I've not bought that, I do believe that he has to tools to be a great heavyweight. His recent lackluster performances (two pathetic losses to Williams and Dominick Guinn--in which he barely used his gloves) will hopefully be forgotten as he demonstrates a return to top form.

We'll just have to wait and see.

What a shame for Audley, getting beat by Martin Rogan. I think it's the end of the road for Audley.
