    I don't think on the whole people are saying 'Dave let me down', slip, they are just saying it a ridiculous joke of a fight, which it is.

    I can remember watching Audley fight in the US a year or so ago, the crowd was booing and he totally stunk out the place out as usual, as he near always has done in every fight he's ever had. There wasn't a poster on here showing any interest in his fight at the time.

    Now, a bit of clever promotion later and everyone's got the flags out.

    Not for me thanks.

    You're getting good at this SB. :good

    Spot on my brother from another mother. This is indeed a mis-match of epic proportions. Tbf I don't really think people like Dunky seriously believe Audley will win though. What you have to understand about our esteemed friend Dunk, is that he secretly roots for any fighter with the last name Harrison in honor of Scott...He's too locked in to the sweet science to be that nescient.

    Btw, I think I read where Haye is going back to his roots and incorporated a lot of his martial arts childhood in his offense at Heavweight; i.e. train the mind to punch 6 inches past the object which is how you break boards, cement blocks etc - for this and the fact that Harrison's percieved ability and "potential" is the most overrated i've ever seen (pisses me off when i hear he has all the tools) I'm going with Haye early stoppage as Audley in addition to being a poor journeyman is also as inconsistent as Guzman making weight, lol.

    I was refering more to the business aspect of this fight, I agree with your assessment. But the "Dave lied to me" bitching and crying that was and still is going on from people that should know better is pathetic. Not giving any credence to the fight from purely a boxing point, but no one can argue with it business wise. I don't see the fuss...His fans should be happy with the delayed fights with the Klits as he'll probabily have a better chance when it finally comes around, which i'm sure it will. His bank balance will also be much healthier.

    If I'm honest I think Audley will last a good few rounds and if Haye tires Audley has a chance of going the distance. I just can't see Harrison throwing punches and it will be difficult for Haye to get through and hit a fighter whose only objective will be to not get hit.

    Haye always has a chance to catch Audley cold but could you imagine the uproar if Haye takes Audley out in the first round. He will look like an even bigger conman for taking the fight and people will begrudge having shelled out £15. I doubt Haye will carry Audley for a few rounds to make the fight a bit longer as thats a risky game to play.

    Goodnight I'm off to bed. :good

    Slip, I tune into the TV to watch fights, not a fighters bank balance.

    I really don't understand why any boxing fan, or even a customer for that matter (which we all are and so have a right to complain about a product) would care about how many more millions upon the millions Haye will get no matter who he fights. Myself, I just care about seeing a live fight.

    No ones paying 15 quid to tune into a TV screen showing David Haye's bank balance. Well, having said that, they are really, but most of them don't know it.

    At the end of the day, let this fight wash over and I'm fairly certain those defending it now will certainly not be doing so after the total wash out it proves to be.

    He's getting good at being a No Mark...........like YOU..!!

    You have a Pernell Whitaker avatar, and over 6000posts..........but you will always be a no mark to me, you have totally pissed me off. With your smugg, ignorant comments on this fight.......

    Well guess ****ing what.

    I've got a Marvin Hagler avatar, and I'm gonna smash you to ****ing bits, you don't know boxing............you cannot know boxing, your speaking like a ****ing no mark.

    I'm ****ing sick of no marks like you, with your ****ing Pernal Whitaker avatars...........like you ****ing post in the classic forum.

    I bet your one of the bitches who complain about me.........well **** you.

    Audley Harrison vs David Haye is not a miss-match.

    What are you basing this on..? You ****ing smart ass, what are you basing it on Pernell.

    David Haye's career at CW fighting 14stone characters...?? I nearly laughed out loud when David Haye said...

    "I've beaten 6"5 southpaw before"

    Who was he talking about..?

    That 6"5 line of 14stone **** at Cruisweight that he sparked.......i don't even know his name, and i don't care.

    :lol:

    Audley Harrison is 250pounds, 6"5, with a bigger reach than Lennox Lewis, and has skills. Who the media, and critics have brainwashed the general public into not accepting this.

    All you David Haye deluded fans must be ****ing stupid. David Haye knows his limits, and the Heavyweight division is too big of a challenge for him........and he knows it.

    "Deep down he does not want to fight"

    And he also knows that Audley Harrison is the best fighter he has ever fought.

    If David Haye had fought for all of his career at Heavyweight, he would of been sparked out afew times by now. Fighters like Danny Williams, would of spark him out in 2004, Michael Sprott......all them guys would of been with a chance.

    Anybody who says this fight is a miss-match does not know boxing. Anybody on eastside boxing, and in the British Forum who says this fight is a mismatch does not know boxing...!!!!

    You have all been brainwashed by the media, critics who want you to believe that Audley Harrison is a coward and cannot fight.

    Audley Harrison fought against Michael Sprott with one arm, and didn't stop fighting......................I'm ****ing convinced this is the Truman show, and people are just disagreeing with me to ****ing **** me off.

    When I'm getting the train to work, i sometimes think of no marks like you on eastside, and it ****ing pisses me off.

    Audley Harrison is the biggest and most skilled fighter David Haye has ever signed on the dotted line to fight..............that is a fact.

    When the fight unfolds all you people, the real deluded people. The people who think David Haye is gonna come out all guns blazing, even though he is a cagey counter puncher, with average at best workrate.........

    All you deluded people will get a massive shock.

    All you deluded people who fail to see that David Haye is not a fluid counter puncher, who at heart just like throwing single hard shots or 1, 2's....

    Will all get a massive shock.

    All David Haye's opponents at Heavyweight, have not been able to avoid his counter punches. Because they are not school in the arts of fundamentals, the type of skills that won Audley Harrison his Olympic Gold.

    Mark my words, this is the first real Heavyweight David Haye is coming up against with size and skill........and Audley Harrison is also a better combination puncher than Haye.

    Big shocks on November 13th.

    There is such a thing as principles and self respect as a fan. If you buy this you can never ***** about a **** fight again. Simple as, saying your ppv is insignificant is a cop out. If you're gonna pay for something like this, lets be honest with yourself.

    People can pay for whatever they like, it's their money. But let's not have double standards.

    Apart from the first bit, it's all good.

    I'm sorry for flipping out on Slip&counter like that..........he was just so disrespectfull and dismissive towards Audley Harrison.

    Maybe if he was to comeback and challange me, i would still be angry....and we could go at it, Hagler and Hearns.

    But he has not responded..!! so it makes me think he's upset.

    I love it! You're a trooper Primadonna i'll give you that. Complain about you? where the f*ck did you get that idea? :lol:

    Okay, I could comeback at you with insults but i'll come at it from a technical point and explain to your megalomaniac ass why Audley will get beat and badly...You see, the simple fact is Harrison is just not good enough. To beat Haye you need to smother his looping shots or roll with them. Problem for Audley is he doesn't attempt to avoid punches by movement or slipping he just gets freaked out and absorbs punches.

    Getting past all the other obvious advantages Haye has and deficiencies of Harrison (like his lack of mental and testicular fortitude) that makes this a mis-match. Stylistically it's all wrong for Audley. You see Haye loads up on his shots with all his weight behind it..you have to smother it, off set with a serious jab and movement or punch with him which is something Harrison definitely hasn't got the ability to do as Haye's much faster and Audley's not that way inclined.

    If Harrison had an ounce of ability when it comes to rolling or avoiding punches then his chance of lasting into the second half would be increased. The key is to force Haye to go off balance by making him miss the target. If he's allowed to stay balanced he'll find the target and thats what will happen here. Harrison gets his feet tangled and needs to be set when he punches, this is disaster with Haye's athleticism.

    Everytime Haye loads up and swings he'll hit something of Harrison. Harrison is that easy to find and it spells double trouble with Hayes power and speed.

    Btw I wonder what your motivation is? You're clearly not as stupid as you seem...so whats the deal? Are you a loner who watches Four Weddings and a Funeral on the loop and beats off to Hugh Grant? lol! Look at your posts -you think it's cool to go on pointless tangents and have absurd arguments for shock value.

    I like you Prima...you're mad but harmless. but I fart more boxing then you pal.
