People who are saying 'Audley dived' must never have seen him fight before.

    You heard :twisted:

    There are numerous posters on here who are claiming that Audley dived. Their logic is that the way he performed is a clear sign that he took a dive.

    What I am asking for is for you people to name one Audley Harrison fight that lead you to believe that anything other than what actually happened was going to occur on Saturday night. Please can you name these fights?

    If you truly believed that Audley was going to do anything other than freeze and get knocked out in that ring on Saturday then you either:

    1) Are a member of the general public that brought into Sky and Hayemaker's marketing campaign

    2) A 'boxing fan' that needs to go find another sport to follow.

    The fight was a shambles, a terrible mismatch with only one potential outcome. But this does not equate to a fixed fight. There is nothing that Audley has done INSIDE THE RING in his career that could lead you to think he would do anything in this fight.

    The people claiming that this bout was fixed need to go watch Harrison in Prizefighter. Harrison gets dominated by almost everyone he is in with. His best wins are a combination of Harrison getting dominated through many a round before he comes out of his shell and lands a half decent punch.

    Harrison is a rare boxer who is scared to get punched.

    Audley Harrison freezes when he is in the ring with actual 5"10, 15 stone taxi drivers. What made you think he was suddenly going to Pacquiao the **** out of a heavyweight with world class power and speed? Seriously?

    It's also just people finding something new to give Haye **** about.

    Before the fight, 'Haye v Harrison is a complete mismatch' (I said this aswell).

    After the fight, 'It was fixed.'

    Makes sense does it not?

    The way some people have carried on since the weekend, you would swear Haye had been caught loading his gloves or had tested positive for PED.

    Exactly. It's ridiculous to expect anything else from that fight. Haye is as much to blame as Audley.

    Are you trying to say Haye didnt serve you a **** by throwing this farce in the first place? He knew Harrison, You all 'experts' knew Harrison, but it hadn't stopped Haye providing that 'fight'. He showed that the only thing he cares is money. Not legacy, not his fans - just easy money that goes in parallel with pissing on boxing fans. Dont you think ppl may just feel tricked by Haye who was talking all over about being a new messiash and ****? What reaction do you expect from ppl who actually paid for this ****?... yeah, they should have known already that Haye after providing Barrett, Valuev, Ruiz is no fkin MESSIASH and Harrison farce shouldnt be smth surprising. So again, ppl might be disgusted with the opponent choice Haye made, who was expected to give a **** performance to start with.

    I agree. Harrisons best punch is faking a jab then backing away. He did it for 10 rounds vs Dominic Guinn. Worst fight I ever saw.

    Only because he thought it was a 12 round fight. He was going to KO him in the 11th
