Haye v Harrison

[crispee78]

lets be honest about it all here, the whole fights an absolute joke. its not just the klitschkos that haye is avoiding, hes been offered fights against arreola, povetkin, chagaev, adamek even evander holyfield (how old is he?), but hes avoiding all of em. his first defence was against a bloke who got beaten up by a blown up middleweight(roy jones) even when he was in his prime. all hes tryin to do is hold on to the title as long as possible without having to stretch himself. surely no one believes that runnin away from a giant for 12 rounds should warrant a great deal of praise.

having said all that i still respect him a lot more as a fighter than i do fraudley, that joker has been tellin us for 10 years now that hes gonna be a world champion, im not even sure if that bum could be champ of his own playpen let alone the world. being a boxing fan it upsets me that a chump like this could even earn a pound note from the sport when theres far more talented fighters than him out there that will never get the ammount of chances this perpetual loser has had!

i dont like haye one bit but i just hope he retires this embarrassment to british boxing permanently!!

I don't think the fight will end as quickly as most people here believe. I think Harrison will spoil and be extremely negative. He's a tall rangy guy and it will be difficult to end it in the 1-2 rounds mentioned here if he just goes into survival mode.
I think Haye will be far too good for him and will win by TKO. I think Harrison will be stopped but basically will "quit" during the fight, leaving the referee no option but to stop it.
I love boxing but think this will be like watching paint dry.

i think i agree with you on that one jabba it will definately be like watching paint dry. audley harrison seems to have it in his head that winning an olympic gold medal somehow warrants automatic viability for a shot at a world professional title, these days the gap between amateur and pro boxing is so wide that its arguable for them to be called the same sport. he struggled to a points win over an unknown brazilian boxer george arias(who had just moved up from light heavy) to win by two rounds(idont know what fight those judges were watching) i had to the brazilian bloke by four. he wins a fight with sprott with the last punch of the fight(whilst miles behind) and this somehow grants him a shot at a world title. im embarrassed to be a fan of the sport when a bum like this gets a shot to be in the same club as guys like frazier, dempsey, louis et al.

and how in the name of all thats holy do sky come up with the bright idea that this is somehow PPV when just recently we got two great fights (marquez v diaz and cotto v foreman) for free. it truly does boggle the mind!!! whoever is in charge of boxing at SKY may have some sort of degree in business but he knows jack sh*t about boxing to think that people will pay for this tripe!!!!
