If Audley is still standing after say 7 rounds, do you think he has enough to take advantage of any stamina issues at HW, Haye may have? Could this be a tactic? Thinking off the top of my head, Audley is hardly Mr Stamina himself though.
Yeah, i don't see Audley as having such a great engine. To give credit to David, i thought the pace he went at against Ruiz, considering there were a lot of power punches he threw, was pretty good for a heavy. Stamina problem for Haye was probably last a factor during the Thompson fight. I think he's come on a little since then really. Fragomeni, Barrett and Ruiz were good paced fights i think.
Both Audley's and Haye's stamina is both ****. But David Haye will be exspending the most energy in this fight, and he will fight the same way he's done at heavyweight. As a cagey counter puncher, darting around the ring, punching only when he wants to punch. He's been puffed and out of breth, fighting guys in this manner.......but none of these guys have really had the technical ability to neutralize David Haye's movement. None of them have really hit him, or been able to counter him.............but he's still been puffed, with a average workrate. Audley Harrison has the ability and will do all of that come fight time. Thats why as this fight goes on, the more and more David Haye will be hit. Audley Harrison is a superheavyweight, height, reach, and weight advantage. He will be fighting in a controled manner, and as the fight goes on Audley Harrison will be maintaining his pace........Audley Harrison has no need to panic, and bounce around. David Haye is not going to walk forward, and put Mike Tyson/Joe Frazier type pressure on him.......... Audley Harrison is not training for a punchers chance, he's training at 7000ft above sea level, in the moutains. This fight just like i said from the very start.... Technically it's not as simple, as you people think. It will be a great fight.
. I think haye is putting himself under pressure to get an early ko. He lasted 12 against valuev but he only threw 100 punches. I think he might be in trouble if this fight reaches the championship rounds.
I think strength may be a factor here too. I have seen David get pushed around by quite a few guys, so if Audley can use his weight to good effect in the clinches it will only aid him in tiring Haye out. Neither have good stamina, especially given their respective styles.
Haye is better than Audley in every single department. The fight is a total mismatch. Haye stops him in 2 round, if he doesn't its a **** poor performance. Even if Harrison comes to survive. the fight is a joke. the only thing Audley has more than Haye is a willingness to take on a challenge.
Fair point. But, he might just be one of those fighters that seem to blow hard, but still churn out the punches? I know he's looked tired between rounds in fights, but he has then gone out to continue throwing bombs.
This fight could be pretty crappy. Haye will be doing his doggie paddle thing, waiting to counter but I see Audley being too cautious to throw anything. I can see their being several rounds of nothingness and boos a plenty (which goes well for Audley).
This is a possibility. I mean, it's part the norm with Audley and when you think of say even Haye vs Enzo, the first round practically nothing happened. I can't see Audley coming out blazing.
Audley has been getting up at SIX AM to go running. SIX AM! The man is crazy! [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8FslF4ugjI"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_8FslF4ugjI[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H3bJHWGl4"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H3bJHWGl4[/ame]
