    I was wondering if anyone felt a bit sorry for the guy.


    Getting TKO'd and the crowd singing "You're **** and you know you are", plus the obvious crying in the dressing room afterwards. I know he was getting paid, but he may even lose that if the BBBC get their way.

    The only reason I feel sorry for him is because mentally he's not right, almost delusional. Kinda sad to see a guy so out of touch with reality.

    Thoughts. :think

    This is boxing my friend, in other words "fighting" a "martial Art" a "Combat sport" it is assumed you need to have a level of tough skin

    Oh no doubt, but Harrison is on another level of wacky. He's not tough in the ring, but he keeps coming back for more and more humiliation. The guy isn't right in the head.

    Fight was fixed, he can't complain about the 1 mil he got.

    By the way, he is one of the worst contender ever. Well, the worst ever. You'll probably never see something like this again unless Haye fixes another bum.

    He got paid a lot of money for doing **** all. If it was up to me I'd take his wages and his license and give them to someone who deserves them. I've seen kids battle their hearts out over 12 rounds for a couple of grand. If a million quid can't motivate the useless ***** to fight nothing will.

    I agree. The crowd should have been booing Haye as well. And I consider myself a fan of Haye! I know people would frown on me if I picked a fight with someone who has no business fighting me and no chance of winning. Haye should have fought someone who would at least fight back.

    He made a million to throw one punch and then fall down. He didn't even take much of a beating. There are fighters who go out there and try hard and get pummeled for far less money.
    I don't feel sorry for Audley at all.

    - I feel sorry for him.

    - But he needs to quit

    - And someone needs to drill this fact into his head

    - Hell they need to inscribe it into his DNA

    - Sorry if your reading this Audley - but you need to be patronised for your own good.

    I am not sure I feel sorry for Audley. He seemed like he had the size and skills to be better than he turned out to be. I think he wasted what could have been a better career. I would love to see him regroup and comeback.

    From Olympic gold to being ridiculed by his country and the whole boxing world. If he copes from this **** it's a proof that yes he can.

    I don't necessarily feel sorry for him, honestly it's more a testiment to where we've gotten to in terms of global society. I wish that a crowd would assemble outside of their next job interview and if they didn't get it, do the same ****. Or when their marriage falls apart someone would pay them the same respect. I mean it's as if we forget that these are ****ing people, and sometimes people fail...hell sometimes they fail miserably, and I don't see the sense of kicking a man when he's down. For a lot of these cats this is their entire lifes work, that in an instant is over and gone, and I would think some bit of humanistic compassion would kick in and allow a fan to realize this, but I guess it is what it is and nothing I'm going to say here is going to change it.
