DAVID HAYE SET TO MEET AUDLEY HARRISON NEXT. THEN WLADIMIR?

Latest news is that WBA champ David Haye will fight EBU champ Audley Harrison next, with Haye's manager/trainer Adam Booth also trying to sort out a unification bout with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. Wladimir could meet IBF mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin before a possible meeting with Haye.
Negotiations between the Haye and Harrison camps should begin in the following weeks for a big money clash in the UK.


The fight would be a huge hit in the UK, but may not grab much attention from America. Harrison has won the prizefighter tournament and more recently KO'd Michael Sprott in the last round to stun boxing fans. Harrison was behind on the scorecards and was not expected to KO Sprott in such stunning fashion but it was a great win.
Apparantly Haye and Harrison were good friends but I think those days are long gone, as Harrison has repeatedly put down Haye insisting he is not a worthy champion and has the tools to beat him.

What do you think about a Haye vs Harrison clash?

 

Personally I would love to see a Haye v Harrison fight.
Harrison actually does have the tools to beat Haye, but can he do it now at his age? I'm not sure. Maybe a few years ago. I think Haye would be too fast, too quick on his feet - not sure if Harrison could handle his combos and power - BUT, Harrison has power is his left hand himself and a decent jab, so he could frustrate Haye - try to dominate Haye from the outside. Would be interesting to see if Harrison could land a big left on Haye - how would he respond.

 

Which fans were these?

 

I was referring to fans who couldn't see Harrison KO'ing Sprott so late on into the fight. I was watching the fight with a few people/critics of Harrison and they couldn't see Harrison landing a big punch late on to KO Sprott either -that's all.
I knew he had it in him. he's got power and ability still, even at 38 -just needs to think more positive in the ring - believe in his ability more - he has a good chance of beating Haye imo

 

You think Harrison can beat Haye?

 

FEEBLES!!! FEEBLES!! GET IN HERE AND GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF YOURSELF!!! :: ::

Slice...this story has to be, at the very least, a bit circumspect.

If Haye fights Audley, he will lose money or the title because Chagaev is his mandatory, and I am sure that fight would fall due inside the next 6 months.

 

Surely both fighters will gain a substantial amount each from having this fight?

The BOXING fans... just read he said it...


Like me for instance, big bet on this shit going the distance @ +350 was happy already then BOOM... he stunned me.



@ topic - i can see this fight makes sence for the UK and is therefore excusable. If Haye fought any other guy on that level he should be ridiculed, but that's already going on, everybody knows he's on his bike already.

 

People always wonder why I am so sore or put-upon about so much in boxing.

There was a guy from Wakefield, a guy called Paul Sykes, who had as they say today, "personal demons"....{he was Bi-Polar}.

He turned to boxing in the late 70's to try and break the cycle of violence his life had descended into.

Skyes was extremely witty, extremely quick thinking with a one liner {after his pro debut, he was asked what came next after his first fight, and Sykes said..."my second professional fight"::}

He had a brief 2 year pro-career during which he fought for the british title after only 8 fights, of which he had won 6 {6-1-1, 4 early}. He ran out of steam and was worn down b JL Gardener, who was fringe world-class.

Here is a guy who was a serious dangerman. None of this fake charisma. None of this bollox about making threats about fighting for the British title after only 5 fights. He did it. He actually went through with it.

But these morons, guys with more talent but a lot less balls and a lot less charisma, guys like Audley and Haye, are made out to be fucking legends. Oh, he is sooooo charismatic

Really? What did he say????

Oooh..he is a real fighter....really? Who did he beat?

When the real thing comes along, it is dismissed as being too vulgar and vigorous.

 

I think Harrison could trouble Haye early on, but Haye should have too much for him. If he fights Harrison and wins he has to step it up, which is obvious, otherwise if we hear of him going for anyone else besides the klitschko's, he's never going to fight them and if it prolongs even futhur i'm not going to be impressed as he has said he wants to aim to be the best by fighting the best. I haven't mentioned Chageev as i've not seen him fight and people say that he isn't a worthy opponent for Haye - is this true?

 

I can't see why and how anyone can take haye seriously. The guy spent months running off at the mouth at how he wanted to fight either of the Klitschko's...hounds and taunts them.

Then he signs to fight one then pulls out...he's offered a contract to fight the other, turns away from that...

Here we are a year later and he's actually FARTHER away from fighting either guy.

he has no intention of fighting either guy unless he absolutely has to. This is eerily similar to Michael Spinks not wanting any part of Mike Tyson until he was forced into the fight.

 

:bears:

 

And look what happened to Spinks, got destroyed and even when the ref called them into the middle to give them his final words - you could see the fear in Spinks' eyes - he looked like a man already beaten before a single punch was thrown.

I don't see Haye with a hope in hell's chance of beating either brother, even tho I would love to see him at least beat one of them.

 

Haye is genuinely stalling. I cannot say just what for....but most likely he wants Vitali to get old, or get injured.

Once again, if this fight happens, the British National Press {:crafty:} will make a virtue out of a necessity.

In days gone by, the tradition, the national progression for British fighters was Britain--->Europe--->Empire/Commonwealth----->World

Haye has won a belt that was stripped off a HW for no reason. And, in the meantime, has fought NONE of the established British heavies, all of whom have a chance of cleaning the lad out.

As I said before, Haye knows that more fights means more risks for him. It would not surprise me one bit to see the press come out and laud Haye for doing something he should have done two years ago, pass it off as "clever matchmaking" or "sound financial practice" or some such nonsense.

And then stand there for 12 rounds getting tagged by Reluctant Audleys probing jab, turn around and say..."I AM READY FOR KLITSCHKO NOW....but first i need a holiday and a chat with Adam"....:shit:

 

Wow. I thought Chagaev would be an easy route for Haye and he picks an easier one. I hope the Brothers Klit keep piling on Haye in the media.

 

There is a usefulness in fighting Harrison. For openers, its a few quid, there is the opportunity to make a virtue out of necessity, etc.

Second, Harrisson is a southpaw. If Haye intends to fight Chagaev, then this may be of use. Harrisson is also tall and long, the comparison with Klitschko ends there, but it's the best they can probably do.

They probably figure it is a smart move, and when you consider how easily Audley can be diffused, it probably is.

Lots of attention, lots of hype, big English shin-dig....though it will be fun seeing how the southpaw jab is dealt with.

Classic example of what I am talking about.

 

Dominick Guinn beat the hell out of Harrison and told me a bit later, told me "He can't fight for shit."

 

Obviously not, if Guinn beat him.

 

:: brilliant.

 

How is it? You see, people complain about Thatcherite Britain, but that is exactly what is happening in that video. The belittling of somebody who was born with very little and went out with even less. :dunno: Yet in the meantime we all have to hear endless panting about how Errol Christie fought the odds and won. Christie was a useless cunt from day one.

 

Guinn was the heavyweight saviour, Mesi was the next Gerry Cooney white-hype to be put into his place,.. Guinn turned into a journeyman overnight, and Mesi had to retire because of a head injury,.. WAR mighty America!!!...das dey whey it's dun!

 

He's not the only one taking a fight for an easy payday, but injecting a Harrison fight in front of a likely Chagaev fight doesn't fit well with his talk of wanting to get at the K2's.

 

:crafty: You never confirm or deny,..aspects say yes, aspects say no,...

 

Guinn deserved the win - he was up for it and his head was focused on the job. Not making excuses for Audley - his mind wasn't with it - same goes for a couple of his other fights including the Danny Williams 1st fight - he didn't seem interested and lost due to these mind games he plays upon himself.
In the Williams re-match he seemed focused on the job and beat Williams in 3 rounds. Harrison wasted so much potential, could it be due partly or mostly to do with a weak mind....

 

I have to admit Sykes' was before my time and haven't read up alot on what he acheived etc, so I just have and now know he peaked in mid 1979 and was a pretty decent boxer who earned respect, who had his troubles, but did earn a BA physical sciences from open university.
What I was referring to with my comment was some of sykes' comments he made in that video -which I found quite amusing, especially about the jaws part, but I was not mimicking sykes in any way.

 

I am not saying your behaviour is inappropriate, more that the value system of the press is completely arbitrary and subjective. By rights, the press should be mocking Haye with the same vigour, as they would have done Sykes. Sykes was clearly ill and still managed to rally himself from time to time to make a few good comments and make a few salient points.

It seems to me that when a man stands up and basically advocates travel as a tool for broadening the mind instead of reading newspapers, that he becomes a target of the newspapers and the broader media.

Kevin Mitchell of the Guardian has been SILENT on the recent promotion of Chagaev to the status of #1 contender for Hayes title. Thats not proper journalism.

Haye has run the mouth for nigh on 3 years now. He must fight Chagaev if he is to set up a meaningful unification.

 

Audley Harrison as a style warm-up for Chagaev? Not sure how that works.

And about the 'southpaw jab'...haven't seen Harrison in a while, does he actually throw any of those these days?

 

It's Haye's chance to make up some ground I guess,.. the natural course of this title forecasted a floating drape racked over Wladimir's cock months ago,.. but Haye negotiated an organised 'hit' with the WBA in conjuction with thier allies, Sauerland and King ,..swiping it out of the pigeon's grip as clean as a whistle,.. So,... the manufacturing method from hot-wear to holy water,..I think, would be to defeat Chagaev,..then manually hand the item over to Wladimir,...allow him to hold it up in the air, jiggle it about a bit, sniff it, then put it to Haye,..respectfully, "You cannot get hatuna sword by stealing, it is very special sword, you must earn it",.. to which Haye replies, and has already said firmly,.. "NO",. .. so the way I see it, is, what the fucks that thing wrapped around his delicious cut groin?.. what is it from first glance?,..is it DA DIAMOND BELT?... Oceania?... home kit?... is it tabloid championships?...

....enthusing, enthusing
