By Dallan o’ Donnell: November sees many blockbuster fights -Manny Pacquaio takes on Antonio Margarito and Juan Manuel Marquez takes on Australian Michael Katsidis but to include David Haye and Audley Harrison for Hayes WBA heavyweight crown would be a mockery. I see this fight as David Haye’s warm-up for the klitschkos and one last big pay day for Audley. It won’t be much of a warm-up for Haye however as I really cannot see Harrison last more than 3 to 4 rounds. Harrison has been dominating all the pre fight talk and were seeing little of champion Haye which is the way he will keep it too letting Harrison talk before the fight whilst Haye does all of his talking in the ring probably another bold statement like the one he made against John Ruiz.

Harrison is training in the states milking all the attention from the media showing cameras around his home meeting his family in an attempt to have the public on his side, a public he once had in the palm of his hand as an Olympic gold medallist but has lost them to his poor and boring ring performances as a pro. He has however won prize-fighter and beat Michael sprott in a sensational last round knockout- probably the most excitement we have seen in an Audley fight. But does all of that warrant a world title shot? I don’t think so.

Audley is far too slow to trouble Haye and has poor movement but this is heavyweight boxing and one punch could change a fight and Audley does have a powerful left hand that he likes to wind up and deliver on his opponents chin, the only problem this time is that he faces the fastest and most exciting heavyweight around who won’t give him the chance to wind up his left hand. Haye will once again put on a show for the fans by knocking out Harrison his one time friend with explosive presence Haye should finish Audley in 4 rounds. Haye has said he plans to retire in October 2011 and I expect him to make a statement against Harrison and fight the Klitschkos next year.
