Its awkward for Audley Harrison, Haye is a friend and sparring partner to Haye.. Audley is trained by Jirovs trainer Thell Torrence and sparrs regularly with the russian in camp..
You have to think Haye will blow him out in short order, round 2 or 3. The account I read said that even Kenny Craven had Jirov out on his fight. He was also dropped recently by journeyman Luke Munsen. I like Jirov, but you have to wonder if he is completely shot, even at Cruiserweight.
Jirov would make Audley work, the only thing Audley would succeed at is landing the jab only because of his dimensions.. Too much of a naturally large man.. Skill for skill Jirov demolishes him.. ( The Kazakh..) LOL
Did you see it? I'm just referring to a report I read from Ron Lipton, although admittedly he was in Craven's corner. Haven't seen the fight. Here's the quote from Lipton: "Once the fight started as the films will show, there was a deliberate head butt by Vassily, low blows, and vicious and several rabbit punches with nothing being done by the referee. The intentional headbutt cracked Ken's nose and the blood was pouring as well as his eye swelling. Then the rabbit punches and finally a liver shot. Ken and I worked on his uppercut all afternoon, delivering it my way and he hit Jirov such a shot that he had him out on his feet with the crowd going wild." Personally, I hope Jirov has something left at 200. He's been one of my favorite fighters to watch, namely because of his committment to body punching and relentless forward style.
if Jirov takes Haye into deep waters he will drown that ass...i like Jirov's experience and skills in this one over Haye's speed and power...Jirov has seen bigger power than Haye...
Em how exactly ?..............Haye has stated(with the full intent to carry it out) that he is only going to have one more fight at Cruiser(because he struggles so badly with the weight) and move up . That fight is against Mormeck . Now maybe , just maybe Haye would stay one fight longer if Maccarinelli and Cunningham fight and Haye has the chance to fight the winner but that's it . Jirov unfortunately is shot to pieces , so if they were to fight somehow(which they won't) Haye would win by KO .
