*** David Haye vs. Audley Harrison - OFFICIAL Thread *** (Merged)

[pasty]

A mate's mate had dinner with Barry Hearn earlier in the week and Hearn said Harrison was going to win by a knockout. Could just be bravado (his son is Harrison's manager) or could have been a hint. Boxing being amongst the iffiest of sports. William Hill saying they have taken nearly twice as much money on Harrison winning, but that might be down to Haye's rubbish odds. Either way I've had a few quid on Harrison KO and also on Harrison first round (he's very old apparently so if he does win it'll likely be early). The latter is 50-1 on Betfair so I thought it was worth a pint's worth. I know nothing about boxing though, so don't consider this any sort of a tip.

50/1 for a first round ko win for Harrisson? With a punchers chance that has deffo got to be worth a few quid.

Yep Harrison 1st Round is now 49-1 on Betfair, but you can get 60-1 at Paddy Power (usually Betfair are longer than the bookies' odds).

Not so sure. I'd say that if Harrison is going to take advantage of that punch (and Haye's questionable chin) then I favour it being later on in the contest, when Haye is possibly tiring and maybe, just maybe his concentration is slipping thinking he has it won, or even getting carried away trying to knock Harrison out.

Haye will knock Harrison out in the third
To me this fight is an utter joke how the hell has Fraudley got a title shot when he's only ever beaten Hobos & Journeymen.
And Haye should've put up or shut up gone to Germany & fought one of the Klitchskos rather than got involved in this debacle

Always hard to be sure of these things of course, but it seemed to be that he did genuinely try to get a fight on with those guys.

Haye is talking about only having about 3 more fights before retiring, and I think he knows that his career is unfulfilled if he doesn't take on and beat at least one of them.

 

[BensGrandad]

The longer the fight goes the more chance of a wild Harrison swing catching Haye. Look what happened against Sproat Audrey was so far behind on points that it was embarrasing and then wham a wild swing near the end of the fight and he is champion.

 

[the hitman]

Not worried at all, look when he thought Valuev.. Think Haye was 7 stone lighter! Once you are over 14 stone, extra weight does not mean much advantage.

This fight will be done and dusted inside 3 rounds.

Saying that, my only concern is that Haye rushes in trying to get the stoppage early, and gets caught. Haye's chin is not the best.. And there is always the punchers chance

 

[Brownstuff]

I don't follow boxing that much anymore since the days of Eubank.
But Hayes to win in Rounds 1-3 gets my vote, think i saw price was about 9/4.

Worked for this guy...

*** David Haye vs. Audley Harrison - OFFICIAL Thread ***

At the weigh in, Harrison scaled 18 stone, 1 and a half pounds, Haye weighed in at 15 stone and half a pound (the lightest he's ever been as a heavyweight).

I see Haye being far far too quick for Harrison and Harrison getting hit and hurt by shots he can't even see coming half the time.

Haye KO3 for me.

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

Between 2 and 4 is about right. Audrey will be slow and will get stung - he is not the fastest at the best of times and the weight difference will be in Haye's favour rather than his. Hopefully Haye can drop him on his arse quickly, Audrey will lose the will to fight and Haye can put him away. Then we can see an end to the longest "non-career" we have seen in some time.

 

[METALMICKY]

Too tight to pay SKY £14.95 so just wondered whether anyone knows on the web where it will streamed

 

[Elvis]

People are saying that Harrison has the big punch and cos of this could cause an upset. The thing is though I can't ever see him getting anywhere near Haye to try and land one.

My opinion, Haye's movement will be far too much for Audley and that Haye will control the fight at ease. Haye to win within 6.

 

[BHABen]

Im a boxing guru....i have studied the history of boxing since i was 11, if Audley wins he will be the worst heavyweight champion in the history of the sport.
I honestly feel it will be a mismatch and will be over in 3 rounds, Harrison is scared to death in the ring, the first time Haye hits him he will go into his shell. That being said it only takes one punch, this is why i love the sport.

 

[Bakesy]

Personally i want to see a 12 round scrap that goes all the way, especially as i'm watching it, but suspect it will not go past 4 rounds...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Harrison's going to embarrass himself greatly. Haye in 2, possibly 1.

 

[BrickTamland]

Anyone know if its being streamed anywhere?

 

[Don Quixote]

Harrison to win, Haye is not a real heavyweight.

 

[Lord Bamber]

Haye should win, he is the class act, he is speed & fitness, but has he the power? Fraudley has done nothing really in his professional career but that punch at the end of the Sprott fight was class.

Haye giving away 3 stone is a lot and yes Fraudley shouldnt on paper get near him but the beauty is....he could and if he does, and he connects with that left of his, has Haye the chin to take it?

Haye should win this comfortably but dont write off a one punch sensation from Fraudley, a real outsider but so was Buster Douglas. Is it about time for another?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Anyone know if its being streamed anywhere?

Reminds me of the Hatton fight. The streaming was diabolical. One second of action and then two seconds of buffering before skipping to the next bit. Stayed up until the wee small hours to watching still pictures. Fell asleep before the end.

Justin TV doesn't seem to be working for me

I am house sitting with SKY, but I'll be damned if I am paying £15 for the fight.
