    Haye V Harrison to not go past 7.5 rounds @ 4/6?

    That's -150 for you American lads.

    Harrison has been getting outboxed by Martin Rogan and Michael Sprott in the last year or two and I think he's seriously out of his depth.

    Added to the fact that Harrison's slim chance rides on him landing a really big shot.

    If you had some cash to throw away would you consider this bet?

    Not good enough odds for me. Haye is going to play this one safe IMO.

    a ko is likely but i don't know about the under though. Haye is not as big of a puncher at Heavy and Harrison is dangerous, so i think he will not press for a ko early.

    Line sounds about right to me. More likely that Haye plays it safe and just tries to not get knocked out, unless he happens to hurt Harrison at some point. Maybe he gets a mercy stoppage around that time.

    not a bad price as it is a cert to happen. Why on earth do you think Haye's going to go for a comfortable points decision?
    As soon as he rushes audley, Audley will **** himself like he does everytime he takes a step back with punches coming at him. His chin is immediately in the air. To be honest i think itll be rather brutal.

    Harrison might be coming to survive. Could be a risky bet.

    Audley is most likely getting stopped and early. Go for it.

    Maybe for the first 2-3 rounds, but I think he'll try prove a point once he gets comfortable and realises he's the quicker better boxer.

    It crossed my mind that I could be over-rating Haye's power. And he's not really a great finisher, he can be quite sloppy at times. He does commit to the knockout when he gets his opponent hurt though, and Audley fighting scared isn't going to help A-Force's chances at all.

    It seems reasonable, they basically believe there's a 60% chance it's over before 7.5. I just think Haye is going to get his chance much earlier than we think.

    He does this against very ordinary opposition. He's either getting KTFO early, stinking the place up and running away for as long as possible, or landing a hail mary.
    Possibly. But I can't see Haye happy to just put rounds in the bank. He usually looks for the KO. It all depends on his gameplan. He might be happy to chip Audley down and finish him around 8-10, which would suck.
    I think I will, I'm gonna have faith in Haye putting on a show.
    And then I'm going to Disneyland :D

    It doesn't quite work like that.

    And no to all 3 questions.

    Haye knows that audley's left hand could KO him, however slim the chance may be. Expect this fight to look a bit like the valuev fight.
