Harrison's only chance against Haye is to seek and destroy, simply because Haye lack's durability, so why do I get the impression he is going to sit back and wait (looking for counters)on Haye, allow him to get off first, set up his power? If your an aged fighter, probably with aged reflexes due to age, why would you sit back and wait on a guy, try to time his attacks, particularly when he has a speed advantage, and your not, never were, particularly quick yourself? why would you employ a counter punching strategy when the best way to negate those aged reflexes, is to get off first? why would you not fight in a seek and destroy manner when the guy your fighting has a shaky chin? why would you give him space/time instead of deny him space/time, when he is his most devastating when he has time/space to set up his attacks? Now, obviously I wouldn't expect Harrison to walk in and got stomped the way Ruiz did, but you do have to apply pressure from behind the jab, cause the jab maintains a safe distance between you and the opponent, particularly when you have a reach advantage, of course Harrison pushes the jab, does not really have a great jab, but....
Harrisons gonna wait and look for counters, the next time he blinks he will be seeing the MEN arenas lights
He will freeze when it matters. Haye will catch him early and won't let him off the hook like Sprott did. But yeah, Audley needs to surprise Haye...come out and establish his jab and left hand.
Agree completely. If he goes for the kill he will probably lose, but he has a great chance. If he tries to box with Haye he has close to no chance.
Speaking of Grant, I think Harrison should try to emulate what Grant was doing with his height and reach in the latter part of the Adamek fight.
Another thing. If he gets caught, he really must use every ounce of weight and strength to tie Haye up, push him back and butt him. Turn him round and twist the arm. He will have to be dirty if he gets tagged.
I watched the Sprott fight when it happened, but until seeing the latest episode of ringside, I did not recall how he seemed to get hurt twice in the fight, now imagine what Haye is going to do.
