Derek Chisora thinks Audley will win because he wants it more. I just saw him say it on Sky Sports. He might just be trying to wind up Haye to get a fight in the future, though. Never know with him.

No. I see a boring tentative fight from both guys. Haye is already turning people against him in droves ... I see this fight as only acelerating it more..

My bold.

Only us who keep tabs on boxing daily, there are many casuals non the wiser. After all, this is aimed at them.

Of the people who have mentioned this fight to me recently - they only seem to refer to Haye as the `arsehole` who Audley is fighting ... seems as if the recent press conference didn`t do Haye any favours winning the public over..

Boxing fans have become wise to Hayes big mouth and little little balls ... how long before he is less popular than Audley ... not long me thinks

Whether you like it or not - the proof is there.

Harrison has just appeared on Soccer AM. A PR victory for him I'd say. Came across very well.

i'd like audley to win.

he has stuck to his guns in spite of being subjected to a huge amount of ridicule and it would have been much easier to just give up.

Audley was ridiculed badly for very good reasons. But Haye has begun the PR for this fight painting himself as the panto-baddie ... and 1st impressions last

Whether our own wannabee boxing groupee likes it or not - Hayes big talk and arrogance is going to be no match for the charismatic Audley charm offensive .. how will it affect Haye if the crowd gives Audley the bigger cheer on fight night ... what affect will it have on Audley?
As they say. The fight is 80% psychological ... Audley has always had the tools ... just lacked heart before.

just looked up "foregone conclusion" in the dictionary and found this.....

I just watched Haye and Harrison being interviewed on sky sports by some woman - Audley Harrison is coming across very well - its almost like they've planned some good buy, bad guy routine.

I think this fight is already gaining popularity - its going to be huge even though most boxing fans know what the outcome will be, theres a small chance we could be suprised and its hard not to get caught up in the hype.

Is Audley Harrison becoming the peoples champion?! One man trying to realise his dream

I dont agree i think he's made himself the bad guy in this one but if he wins and then shows humility to harrison, then makes the fights with the klitschkos he'll be a british hero anyway. The public is fickle and always will be.
