Not long until Haye-Harrison now, I just wondered what everybody's views and predictions are??
Personally, if you strip away all the talk and hype, I don't honestly see how Audley Harrison can win this fight.
Haye is a fast, hard-hitting heavyweight and is a very good technical boxer, Audley has nice, fast hands, but, overall, is relatively slow and cumbersome about the ring, doing most things at snail's pace.
People question Haye's chin, yet that is debatable....He's never been knocked spark out (something that can't be said about Harrison), his defeat against Carl Thompson, which is often brought up in an attempt to detract from his record, was all about a naive novice running out of gas and his corner showing mercy and getting him out of there before he got badly damaged.
As for Harrison, this is actually a massive step up in class as he has been basically fighting at domestic level for most of his career. Compare this to Haye, who has been fighting at world level for the last 4 years.
The only thing that can defeat Haye on Saturday night is under preparation....If Haye is really up for this, it should be pretty one-sided and I see it being over by rounds 6 or 7, with the likelihood being the ref stopping Harrison taking a prolonged beating on the ropes.....
