Haye v Harrison Nov 13th It's ON

[Lightsoot]

Can a Mod merge all these Haye-Harrison threads

YES HE CAN

[dondada]

I want someone to design a reversible T shirt with 'YES HE CAN' and 'NO HE CAN'T' imprinted. They'd sell like hot cakes. Well, Ben and I will pre-order

[daveyboy123]

Haye seems genuinly embarressed to be fighting Harrison. I don't like to think that'll I'll be buying this one but... I don't know if I'll be able to resist come the night

Thats the big danger for Haye in my mind. He could come into the fight thinking Harrison shouldnt be in the same ring as him, start the fight swinging punches like an idiot and get caught with something himself. I just hope Haye is cool, calm and profesional on the night and gets the job done in a convincing way. This match up has to be a stumbling block in Hayes plan to retire when he is 30? He has to be fighting Vitali next providing he doesnt slip up with big Aud? It seems that every time I see a Klitschko face there is a headline with it calling out Haye..........

A-FORCE

Jesus, the amount of times northern athletes and teams have had to go down to London, just because 'it's London'

Because Paramore already had the O2 booked. Paramore are an American band not a gay, ex-soldier who has turned his hand to light-entertainment and fishing people out of swimming pools.

last time i looked the 02 wasn't the only decent sized venue in the capital.

wonder if american tv bother with this.

rather see evander holyfield get a shot.

or even james toney.

harrison is a complete novice in the pro's.

This is coming from the man who blindly followed the career of a fighter who gave John 'Mental Midget' Bailey, Stephen Smith and a host of other no hopers a world title chance!

hatton was 23 yrs of age and didn't hold a big 4 world title at the time.

don't even go there with hatton.

at the age of 30 (haye's age by fight time).

hatton had headlined vegas and fought 2 of the best boxers of the last 20 yrs.

[hitman_hatton1]

concerning the venue.

if all the major venues were booked then fair enough.

still a bit far north though.

[MacTavish]

Any idea on which outlet will be selling tickets - these will go like hotcakes!!!!!!

[FLINT ISLAND]

Ladbrokes 16/1 on Harrison to win by ko, tko or dq.

Mmmmm.

[hitman_hatton1]

a million to one and i'd think about sticking a tenner on audley.

What do you mean? Don't even go there?

Wilfred Benitez knocked out one of the all time greats in Antonio Cerevantes for the WBA world light welterweight title when he was 17 YEARS OLD! So don't give me all that guff about 23 year old Ricky Hatton defending his world title against the flotsam and jetsam of boxing - there is no excuse except it is a sign of the times.

Why knock on Harrison? What has Jason Booth done to warrant his world title shot? He beat a guy in his last fight who got destroryed off Steve Molitor! I don't know of any boxers who are challenging for the world title these days defeating top 10 contenders - who did Ricky Burns beat to 'earn' his world title shot?

I don't care what Ricky Hatton went on to achieve - he fought his share of no hopers in defending his world title! And for you to state his age as a (very poor) excuse just shows how much you really know. Mental Midget and past it, super featherweights like Tony Pep - no excuses!

Just the press conference makes me want to but this fight! The banter between the two was hilarious!

hatton also defended his WBU title about 20 tyimes and didnt step up in class til h was about 35 fights deep.

[hitman_hatton1]

your trying to say hatton was defending a world title when he had the wbu belt.

it was a title that had no standards whatsoever.

the wba is supposed to be more above board than that.

it just shows how bad the big 4 sanctioning bodies have now got.

this fight shouldn't even be sanctioned.

hatton was 26 when he fought for the real world title.

i believe haye was 27.

and he wasn't beaten by a 39 yr old on the way thru either.

i think you'll find it was a split decision points win.

although i do agree it was a great achievement.

[mickey1975]

They are both on Daybreak tomorrow,just seen the advert before Emmerdale!The promotion of this is going to be absolutely relentless and it will be a massive box office hit.
