I for one haven't been this excited about a boxing match since Hattons miserable efforts against Mayweather and Pacquiao. Should be an explosive fight. I fell like I should be backing Haye because he's English, but he's a grade A ****. Part of me hopes he gets knocked out and put in his place. Either way, there is no chance this fight is going this distance. I reckon Haye might wobble Wlad in the early rounds, but will get KO'd in the 6th. please log in to view this image This face-off is worth a watch, even just for Davids stupid comments. [video=youtube;-lDZhnxAwS0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lDZhnxAwS0[/video] Me and some mates are making a night of this tomorrow, I just hope it's a good fight.
Keep in mind that Haye won the title off this monster and nearly Knocked all 7 foot 2 of him out... please log in to view this image
Yeah yeah, But I reckon that bloke relies more on his size instead of technique. I reckon Klitschko has the advantage in both of these areas Without having seen a fight though.....
Not sure really. People are smart enough to avoid any trouble with me Edit: I got jumped by a turkish guy in a random night club last summer though. He didn't like me pushing him away from the girls in my class when he was "grabbing them". The problem was not the midget (Turkish guy), but his gang which he ran to get help from. So I stayed cool and they got kicked out. Winning. please log in to view this image
The fight was poor. But it'll teach Haye not to gob off to the media. Klitschko controlled the fight well and won without having to use the killer punch. I am bored of the heavyweight division though. There's not been anybody decent in there for ages. The lower weight divisions always produce better spectacles.
Regarding people who get suckered into paying Sky Box Office, do you think they prefer 36 minutes of schoolyard posturing / dancing around the ring (e.g tonight) or 30 seconds of flurry followed by a knockdown and the ref stepping in whilst the guy on the canvas is counting his purse (e.g Fraudley)? I think the last decent heavyweight fight I saw had Tyson in it!
I don't think it was a poor fight at all. It was a lot better than a lot of fights I've watched over the last 4 years. To be honest I would have prefered what we got last night than what we got with Haye v Harrison. Haye just couldn't do what he said he would. Wladimir's jab was a lot quicker than anyone was expecting and Haye could't get him without lunging. I'm not sure I buy the whole broken toe thing. Yes it would have effected him, but the occasion would have made him forget it. Some people have fought with broken ribs and hands FFS. Haye was pathetic falling over all the time, but the referee was a disgrace to count one as a knockdown - not that it would have made a difference. Haye will retire in October and now he'll have to get in line to fight either of the Klitschko's. He won't have enough time and he might as well retire now. He was an amazing cruiserweight, and if he had stuck to fighting bums in the heavyweight division he could have been a great heavyweight. It's a shame because a revenge fight against Vitali would have been bigger and better than last night. The loser isn't Haye, it's boxing.
I thought it was a decent enough fight to watch, either of them could have knocked the other out all the way to the final bell. Haye made a twat of himself with entrance delay and all the falling over, the broken toe think made him look a double twat. The first fight(cruiserweight) was a hell of a punch to win by knock out in the first.
Nothing could take that off the top of the worst fight of all time list. 3 rounds of them dancing around each other and not even attempting to hit each other, only for it to take 15 seconds for Haye to batter him. Don't Harrison threw a punch in anger. At least he got to save his precious play ground.
It was just a money spinner. Everyone knew Haye would batter him, even Audley. The only reason he got the fight was because he won prizefighter which is a Micky Mouse tournament. I heard Audley on the radio the other day saying he was in training and looking for another fight. Don't bother mate, stay at home, you're ****.
He said on the preview show he wanted to fight both Klitchko brothers before his retirement. Can't see that happening now. Agree with you about Prize Fighter being a joke. His trainer will probably go off and work with George Groves some more.
Audley Harrison stayed at the Worsley Park Marriot in Manchester ahead of the fight(my daughter works there), he and his entourage had an entire floor, they actually booked the function suite and twenty staff for the after fight victory party. The staff were all home nice and early.
God knows how he was planning on winning without throwing a single punch. He didn't even try it was pathetic, they should have taken half his purse off him and given it to charity.
