    no 2 rounds :)

    Haye round 6 is my prediction PK and this is coming from someone who won his mrs money on telling her to put money on haye to win in round 9 against ruiz...

    ...and im top of the prediction league for most KO's (correct winner and correct ending to the fight) :good

    When Audley Harrison lost to Martin Rogan, he didn't say "I'm gonna have to think about the next step. I'll talk it over with my family and we'll see what happens". He straight up said "No, I'm not retiring, it's not over, I'm going back to the drawing board and we're gonna find a way to come back". That's how clear he was about his plans. That's how sure he was. He didn't care how deluded he came across. What the **** do you have to do to this guy to make him quit? Others would roll over and die, metaphorically speaking. They would say "yeah maybe I should hang up the gloves, I gave it my best shot but it wasn't good enough". It's like a guy trying to finish a marathon, but he gets shot in the leg. The Docs are screaming at him "IT'S OVER, GIVE IT UP!" and he's like "nah this aint nothing" still limping towards the finish line, like a stubborn, deluded man. Surely, surely this must take a huge amount of mental strength. A lot of determination to be so sure of himself, so damn stubborn after the Rogan fight when the whole nation is saying "NO YOU CAN'T YOU JOKE! YOU CLOWN!".

    You're talking about a man that lost his BBC contract, a man that has lost to guys he should have beaten easily, a man that's been called a coward, a fraud, a joke, a clown. A guy who saved his career in the dying seconds against Sprott. He's now on the verge of realising his dream and people are giving him no chance. Somebody in another thread asked why any boxing fan would want Harrison to win. Can you imagine what it would take to prove the world wrong, to finally do some justice to his talent after everything that's happened and continues to happen to him? After all that's happend. After all the things people are saying to him? Can you imagine what an extraordinary moment it would be if Audley was to emerge victorious? It would be something unreal. One of the most inspiring, bloody minded and determined achievements in sport in a long time.

    Audley will admit that he's made mistakes, he's not fulfilled his talent. He can't change the past but I just want to see this guy do SOME justice to his career. I always say "belts don't mean ****", but this belt means everything. It means everything to Audley Harrison. This fight is not about proving that Audley Harrison is a great heavyweight, or that he would be even remotely competitive against the Klitschkos.

    A footballer might say "one day I'm gonna play in the world cup". Now he might **** up his career, mess up, but he still has one thing left to hang on to. He might be getting older, suffering injuries and people not believing him because of past instances where he let his team and country down. He's still trying to achieve his promise, so he can retire in peace and say "I did it, I played in a world cup, even after all that happened". I want to see that happen to Audley Harrison so he can say the same thing when he retires. So he can tell his kids, "I did it. Look what they said about me, and look what I did. Remember this". When you do something like that yourself, that's when people listen to your words. When he's teaching his kids, how can that message have the same impact if he hasn't been there himself? if he fails? How great it would be if his kids can say that Audley did it in the end?




    I don' share PK's confidence in this fight, but I know Audley Harrison has the hunger, and now you know why I want him to win.

    David Haye ran like a ***** from Valuev..

    Audley Harrison has a bigger reach, more speed and technical skill than Valuev.

    David Haye won't be walking through Harrison in 2-3 rounds.

    The car crash may get used as a excuse aswell.

    To be honest guys, I've not wanted to speak about this fight for sometime.

    I've been feeling really surreal of late in general life. I've got gifted people in my family, my mums side are from Ireland. And sometimes in life, my feelings maybe warn me about certain events. And I've got a feeling, that this is going to be a brutal fight.

    Boxing fans like to call it a War.

    It must of been last week, that i had a strange feeling that somebody was going to die or something was going to be taken away from me. Just a horrible feeling from day to day, and i couldn't put a finger on what it was.

    But then i had two dreams, and in these dreams. Audley Harrison was being knocked down by David Haye in the first round, and i also distinctly remember it being the middle rounds, and Audley Harrison being knocked down again.

    I can remember waking up from these dreams, upset. But really ****ing confused, i actually thought these events really happened. I didn't know where i was for about 15mins, just laying there demented and slightly delirious, or maybe i was still dreaming...? i don't have a ****ing clue.

    But then i started to remember more, a commentator shouting.

    "Harrison won't be denied"

    "Harrison fighting back"

    And i also remember the Voice of Barry Migiugan shouting, "what a Effort, what an Effort from Audley Harrsion"

    But one image, stuck in my mind above all the others. Both fighters faces, where beaten up badly, and David Haye was cut.

    One Left Uppercut............one left uppercut from Audley Harrison, pretty much like the Uppercut Buster Douglas threw against Mike Tyson.

    And as it landed, my dream flashed. As if a 1000 flash Camera's took a picture at the same time, a massive flash, and then everything started to move in slow motion. And Audley Harrison kind of looked down at David Haye who was visible affected by the punch, but was still standing.........

    And Harrison was just standing there starring at David Haye. At first it looked as if, Audley Harrison was angry, looked like he was furious. But then as i looked closer, he had tears running down his face. There was no noise from the crowd there was nothing, just Audley Harrison standing their with tears running down his face, and David Haye just had his eye's closed and was standing up with his arms dropped by his side.

    Then the dream ended, or something ended...........because i thought i was awake. Its ****ing strange, because thinking back to that day.....i don't actually remember much but this episode during the morning.

    And ever since they, i've been abit ****ed mentally.

    I have not been able to talk to people about the fight. I've not wanted to speak about the fight.

    I'm waiting for November 13th, and i would be lying if i said i wasn't tense. And i don't really understand my sudden, dramatic change in mood.

    Its as if November 13th, is not just about Audley Harrison, but its about me aswell.

    I've had a strange fasination with this fight, very strange.

    And I've been preaching to everybody about Hope, Optimism, and Courage.

    Those three words...........

    Where one of the last words i said to my good friend, who left this country to play professional football in America, about two months before the Haye vs Harrison fight was even announced.

    On one of our training runs, after a set of Tabata Sprints.

    My body in a physical wreak, not only from training. But from my underlAying weakness and health issues.

    But still I'm able to match him, but still I'm able to beat him, my mentality still wants to win.

    I turn and i start preaching to him, just about general life, my friend didn't know my problems, "He think phsyically i'm 100%" and not living in Pain. Where talking about each others worries, very deep conversation for 30mins.......... and i just say to him.......

    Never lose.

    Hope, optimism, or courage.......

    Because when you do, that's when you give up.

    And when this fight was announced between Audley Harrison vs David Haye. I feel that its not just about Audley Harrison..

    Its about me, its about you, its about everybody.

    And i feel that i need to be at that weigh in.

    And i will state this right now, many people on here. Think Audley Harrison will have no support come fight time................i disagree, and i think people will be shocked by the kind of support he will have.

    I'm in a very different state of mind, at this moment in time. And i don't want to speak about this fight, i dont want to click on any topics to do with this fight..........

    I'm just waiting.................................

    Novemeber 13th.
