By Ricky Hale: As somebody who does a little boxing myself I hope I understand this noble art a little better that your average arm chair fan and hopefully I can offer some perspective! First up Audley Harrison versus David Haye. I’m probably one of the few people in the world who actually likes both fighters and appreciate the different skills that they offer. Audley Harrison is a guy with undoubted ability he has the size and reach as well as decent hand speed and power. A lot of writers have questioned Harrison’s chin, however I do not think this is a major problem – the man has only been knocked out once and that was by a tremendous shot which would have floored most fighters.

Pacquiao-Margarito & Haye-Harrison: A Tale of Two Fights

Pros and Cons: Why Haye will beat Harrison
By Ben James: Last weekend I published a series of predictions for boxing match ups set to take place before the end of the year. Two of these fights will happen this Saturday night. So I thought I would take the time to explain my theory behind one of my predictions in more detail.
Haye loses his jowls and pot belly, but may lose the fight to Harrison
By Scott Gilfoid: I must say that WBA heavyweight champion David Haye looks in great shape for his fight with Audley Harrison this Saturday night. The jowls and the pot belly are noticeably gone and Haye looks 100% better than the one that’s been carrying around all that excess blubber on his small frame. Sometimes when fighters think they’re putting on size what they’re actually putting on is useless lard and not muscle. Haye looks better at this weight – 210.5 pounds – for his fight against Harrison. With the jowls gone, Haye looks a lot younger, almost like someone else.
Haye weighs a skinny 210.5, while Harrison comes in at 253.5
By William Mackay: At today’s weigh-in, World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) scaled in at a slender 210.5 pounds for his bout tomorrow night on November 13th against Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, England. For his part, the 39-year-old Harrison came in at 43 pounds heavier than Haye at 253.5 pounds. Both fighters look to be in excellent shape, but you have to wonder whether Haye made a gross miscalculation by coming in so light for this fight.

By Sean McDaniel: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) is poised to get his biggest payday yet in his fight on Saturday night against 39-year-old Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) in their fight at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, England. Haye, 30, has agreed to take a cut of the pay-per-view sales rather than a flat fee, according to thesun.co.uk. If the fight brings in 700,000 PPV buys, that will bring Haye £3.5m [$5.6 million]. Haye will then receive an additional £1.5m [$2.4 million] for selling out the 22,000 seat M.E.N. Arena.
Haye or Harrison: The heavyweight division’s problems still remain
By Nicholas Sowemimo: This Saturday’s all-British WBA heavyweight championship bout between David Haye and his challenger Audley Harrison is receiving a generous amount of media attention in the home nation of both fighters. This is not in anticipation of an epic battle – Haye is a 7-to-1 on favourite and is widely expected to stop Harrison within the distance – but because of the sheer novelty of a heavyweight title fight between two British contestants.

Booth sees Harrison as “Dangerous as any heavyweight” for Haye bout
By Sean McDaniel: While some boxing fans see this Saturday night’s fight between 39-year-old challenger Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) and WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) as just another case of Haye milking his World Boxing Association title for all it’s worth, Haye’s trainer/manager Adam Booth sees Harrison as a real threat to beat Haye in this fight, which will be taking place at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, England.
Haye thinks he’ll make big money against Harrison, possibly more than against the Klitschkos
By Sean McDaniel: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (24-1, 22 KO’s) isn’t sorry that he chose 39-year-old Audley Harrison (27-4, 20 KO’s) to fight on November 13th rather than one of the Klitschko brothers. Haye, 30, didn’t like the contract offer that he got recently from Wladimir Klitschko, and instead of giving in and accepting less than what he felt he was worth, Haye chose to move on and take on fellow countryman Harrison in a fight at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, England.
