Haye vs. Harrison

[Mr Darko]

Of course he can, he's still got to last the first 2 rounds and he's still got to knock the opponent out in the 3rd. Its not always as easy as that was. Betting on himself to lose would be another issue entirely.

Lasting two rounds and then knocking Harrison out was never going to be difficult.

You're missing the point completely. Doesn't matter whether he bet on himself or Harrison - it's a form of fixing...he even claimed he didn't try in the first two rounds. It's a shambles to all those who paid to watch him try from the first bell and all those who put money on the match.

I'm not missing the point at all, boxers often predict the round they'll finish it in. One uppercut or one connection (especially in the heavyweight division) and its all over. If Audley had come out and had a go, Haye would've reacted. To simply write off the first two rounds as not counting is ludicrous. There are 2 fighters in the ring, not one.

Boxers have been predctiing rounds since time begain.

Haye so the opportunity in the 3rd and went for it. He might not have gone hell for leather in first 2 but if there was a clear opportunity he would have taken it imo.

**** Haye v Fraudley, the REAL fight last night was Pacquiao v Margarito. What a fight. 2 true warriors, even if Maragrito was a cheating cunt he has earned back a lot of respect. That is what I call boxing.

[danperkins]

Pacquaio is just superb

an absolute phenomenon, masterclass performance, and once again takes apart one of the best in the world. One of, if not the best ever.

P.S. Harrison landed one punch, a 3% success rate, hilarious!!! As regards betting on himself, it doesn't matter once Harrison was trying his best, so nothing else there IMO.

Who would win out of Pacquaio and Mayweather lads?

Yes you are missing the point. Boxers often do predict what round they'll finish - of course but putting money on it and just simply predicting are completely different.

Fact is Haye could have fought properly from the start (there were plenty of openings). He claims he put money on Round 3 and only looked like he was trying in round 3. Therefore it was fixed by Haye for the first two rounds.

Summary:

Predicting/guessing what round the fight will end IS DIFFERENT from predicting/guessing AND putting money on it.

It was a ****ing phenomenal fight - two superb performances for different reasons. Margarito has some ****ing courage. In fact he's insanely brave. What a ****ing great fight.

The other 'fight' was hilarious

It's the ultimate huh. Impossible to call, if pushed I'd regrettably tip Mayweather but Pacquiao is a sensation, IMO now a true all-time great. He's one of the very best I've ever seen. That good.

The fight simply has to happen.

They guy who paid £15 to watch that **** is being laughed at by the guy who bet £20 on Audley Harrison winning Brilliant

Now that is a fight i WOULD pay to see.

[Shaggy]

I'm struggling to think of a more fascinating contest in my lifetime. It'd be one of the biggest fights of all-time.

[the rev leeroy brown]

if mayweather vs pacquaio is to happen then pac man must stop that interferring old coot roach from sticking his oar in. apparently him who advised pacquaio not to agree to the drug testing last time the fight was in the pipeline.

i'll tell you what though, SHOULD this fight go ahead it would be 12 full rounds of unbeleivable boxing. really want to see this happen.

[Daniel 7]

Just finished watching Pacquiao now - he has to be the best I've ever seen. He's so fast and powerful, and seems completely unfazed by the size of anyone he fights. He's unbelievable. I'd take him to beat Mayweather.

The contrast of styles is what would make it such a spectacle
