Disappointed that Haye is fighting Fraudley. Maybe it's a timing thing?

Maybe it's a talking big then bottling out thing.

Even if the Klitschkos weren't available there must be at least a dozen more credible opponents for him out there than Harrison FFS.

He just wants an easy payday, more appearances on chat shows and a bigger bank balance.

I hope Harrison wins this one tbh. Haye bottles it against Klitchko's and then goes for the 'easiest' possible option IMO.

I don't think Haye is bottling it with regards the Klitschko brothers. He seemingly wants to fight them but maybe the brothers aren't too bothered with him.

people can ridicule the fight but it will make money and people actually will want to see it!

can see nothing but a knockout..be it either man

haye may jump all over harrison and finish it early

can say what you like but harrison can still pick some very good shots and pack a knockout punch... which with hayes glass jaw i wouldnt be shocked to see a harrison knockout too

as for the klitchko brothers..who knows what goes on behind the scenes when the talks are taking place.
both say they want to get the fight on. haye did pull out with an injury before though

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:58 pm  

It seems to me that Haye's ar5se has dropped re: the Klitchko's. He says he wants 50/50 purse money, hasn't vlad already offered him that?

But what's this about Haye's glass jaw? He's been stopped once and that was when he burned himself out and the corner threw in the towel. He was down against Mormeck but there have been no signs of a glass jaw yet. Having said that one big left from Audley and it does have the potential to be all over. I won't be buying it btw.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Wed Sep 08, 2010 11:23 pm  

Have loved everything about the way David Haye has gone about things up to now. He's talked the talk and he's walked the walk.. Going over and taking out Jean Marc Mormeck in his own back yard to tidy up the cruiserweight division proved that. He's come along steadily as a heavyweight and gained confidence as he's gone along.

Have to say I'm bitterly disappointed with this one though. I can't see how any serious boxing fan would either want to go and see the fight live (unless there's a very good undercard) or pay for any potetial pay per view option?

Surely the first time Haye lands any meaningful flush shot (which I reckon will be in the first 30 seconds) Harrison will be on his booty and out of there! Harrison in every fight I've ever seen him in has looked terrified to take a shot and has the heart the size of a pea. Technically he can be ok at times but he won't see the 2nd round of this fight IMO and it's a total waste of time for Haye....

You know this how? Who knows why the fights with the two brothers have not happened but to suggest Haye is scared of them is rubbish imo. Last I heard they refused to fight anywhere other than Germany under their terms so if I was Haye I would be standing my ground too.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Thu Sep 09, 2010 11:41 am  

Well depending on whom you believe. The initial contract Haye had to fight Vlad last year was some what of a slave contract with clauses in that would give K2 (the Klits promotional company) a share of any of his future purses and all sorts of dodgy rematch clauses.
