Newz Forum: BOXING: Williams slams Harrison win

BBC Sports
Ex-British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny Williams has accused Audley Harrison of "powder-puff" punching against Julius Francis.


Harrison, the Olympic gold medallist, claimed a lacklustre points win over Francis, 39, in the first defence of his WBF heavyweight title on Saturday.

Williams said: "I've said it before, he can't punch - he's a powder-puff.

"He couldn't knock out a 39-year-old who has seen better days, who I stopped nearly three years ago in four rounds."

Williams added: "You could see Harrison was scared to go 12 rounds for the first time in his life and was questioning his own stamina.

"If Harrison was going anywhere in his career he would have knocked out Francis, but he just hasn't got the power to do it and never will have."

Williams is just jealous that his career has faltered badly the mug! I thought Audley boxed well and the intent was to go the distance and when he did step it up in the last round he still looked fresh and knocked down Francis with ease. It was a good learning curve for him as he has not gone the distance and i'm sure he learnt alot from it. Williams needs to shut his fat mouth and get back to being a whipping boy!

Well i have to say i think Audley is better that Williams. I don't think they will fight yet but i think Audley will take him on and batter him somewhere down the line.
