Audely has hinted he might end this early - possibly inside 2 rounds.

I think Haye might be quite defensive - and on the back foot once he starts feeling Audelys big right hand - so give him a little longer to survive.

But he cannot run for too long - before Audely shuts him down and punches Haye out with real authority inside 4 rounds.

Just like Haye did to Enzo, only in 2?

absolutely barking. audleys big right hand? he's left handed.

I expect Haye to put the pressure on straight away! Why wait?

Haye is the faster, more explosive fighter, so I reckon Booth has told to go for the finish as soon as possible.

Lol I'm just having visions of a 6'6, 250lbs man doing some sort of crazy dance upon rising after being hit with a big right hand, bang on the chin!

I wouldn't expect anything less than complete and utter nonsense from Flint

This is how I think it will go, it will go either 2 ways, Haye will knock out Harrison early, maybr 1,2 or 3 rounds. If it goes longer than that I can see Harrison covering up and soaking all the punches. Then I think he will come out with one of those lucky punches that comes from no where and BANG! If this is the case Harrison will say he planned that and was waiting for that punch, but he will be a lying lucky sod who will have done it again.

More and more people are believing Audley has a good chance to win. It's hilarious.

Haye will be the one running away? Have you seen an Audley fight?

Audley will be lucky to last 3 rounds. Haye has the advantage in every aspect apart from height & reach. Audley will have to hope his big left lands, but he sits back on it and you can see it coming a mile away.

If Audley pulls this off. I'll be absolutely shocked. Haye is 1/8 on for a reason!

I think this is why we all love boxing. Because in reality Harrison shouldnt even be allowed to get in the ring with Haye.

Its so one sided its unreal but at the end of the day if Harrison lands with a big left hand Haye may well be rocked. If this happens i will be very surprised but the fact we all think it might is what maxing boxing such an exciting sport.

My prediction- Over in the 4th via a load of Haye leather (Audley will be lucky to get that far though)

Haye is far too good! He'll easily stop him within 5 rounds, you look at their last fights, Haye on one hand struggled like mad and was heading to defeat against a fighter who in his last 6 fights has won 2 (both against fighters with losing records) and Haye didn't lose a round and stopped John Ruiz a tough heavyweight contender and he absolutely demolished him! Haye will absoulotly destroy Harrison within 4 round imo

The OP will keep making outlandish predictions. Eventually he'll get one right and then we'll never hear the end of it.

Sky have done one hell of a job promoting this fight, making it out like a 50/50

I remember a poster on the old boxingranks forum. Made this outrageous prediction (at the time we thought) of Rahman to KO Lewis. Said it from day dot (so before we saw the condition Lewis was in, and all of that about the altitute stuff). Just thought Rahman had the style to beat him.

He gloated and gloated for months, untill the rematch.... and he got the prediction of the rematch correct also. Just it kind of rubbished his prediction that Rahman could beat the best Lewis available - and we took him to town on it. Nobody could understand if Rahman had the style to beat Lewis, and would have a number on even the best version of Lewis - why would he tip Lewis in a rematch... he didn't say anything about Rahman losing focus. Essentially he proved it was a lucky guess from the off.

i want some of whatever your taking......since when did audley have a big right hand??

I know Haye is favourite and people dont think hes going to stand a chance, but i really think Audley could challenge Haye here

You've been fooled by the media into thinking Harrison has a chance, haha. Well done, hey, i have some magic beans for sale... you want in?

x2 So many people i work with, who arn't true fans of the sport seem to think this is going to be a close run fight, props to sky, i think they will shift a lot of ppv's for this.

Yes, those lucky punches in a sport where the only way to win is to throw and land punches. Truly it can only be luck when someone lands a punch. Much like it's only luck when a footballer kicks a ball or a racing driver steps on the accelerator.

you cant deny though it happens, just like whe a footballer crosses a ball and it goes in the net. There is always an element of luck in sport or in life for that matter. You cannot say when a boxer is covering up taking punishment and not looking whe he throws a punch that there is no luck if the punch lands. Harrison has been very lucky, surely anyone can see that, or has luck not come into it and he has planned it out all his career??

The hype surrounding this fight is unreal. If Audley makes it to the 4th round I will be surprised.

He doesn't deserve this fight. He's been knocked out by Michael Sprott, he looks scared any time someone thinks about throwing a punch. Audley was made for amateur boxing and not the pro's. He's getting knocked out, and knocked out early.

This isn't going to be close, its ridiculous.

OK, I'm not saying there's no such thing as luck, although I maintain that boxers don't throw punches without the aim of landing them. Perhaps the football analogy is not the same, because boxers don't tend to score KOs from punches that were not intended to be knockout punches, yet it can happen that a goal can come from a shot that wasn't supposed to be a strike.

However, back to the fight in point. I know any fight which is turned around in the last session by the guy who's trailing on points does appear to have an element of good fortune to it, but I have to take ypu up on this: "You cannot say when a boxer is covering up taking punishment and not looking whe he throws a punch that there is no luck if the punch lands."
I don't know if you've seen the fight since it happened, but if not, I respectfully ask you to do so again (or at least the KO). Yes, Sprott came on strong and Harrison was covering up, but when the attack petered out, Harrison landed two lefts, turned Sprott into the corner, dodged one coming back, measured his man and then landed the fight-ending shot. It was an amazing turnaround, yes, but it was all quite deliberate. Was there an element of luck overall? You could look at it that way. But was it a lucky punch? Not at all.

id say before 4 rounds haye,but the longer it goes more chance harrison has,never know with the big fellas

you cant favour harrison on current form, but then you cant cancel out his attributes & pedigree otherwise you'd be a div.haye's weakness's are transpARrent but you have to be a top fighter to exploit them & push him.

I know the fight in question but my comment was made in general purposes not the Harrison Sprott fight. While I have to agree with you on points made I feel if Harrison wins it will be through luck and not judgement.

It must be pretty swollen after a good night's blocking.

(I do respect him as a head-down trier. And it's not like any of us enjoy being punched, either.)
