  1. Ah....JP Chenet.....great cheap wine that is, I've had many a night of vomiting on that stuff. That Californian stuff that comes in bottles that look like sample jars is even worse, can't remember the name of it though.

    Went from Simple Minds to Suzanne Vega, now I've got Beatles. Seems to be on gayboy music only tonight for some reason.

    That'd be Paul Masson Caliufornia Caraffe :-)

    And yes, gheyboy music to the max!

    That's the **** yeah, Paul Masson. Used to drink it cos it reduced my visits to the bog by 50% thanks to the shape of the bottle.

    **** Beatles again, Come Together, and now **** Hey Jude has come on. How long have I been a rocket polisher? Ah that's better, fast forwarded past Hey Jude and got Too Shy by Kajagoogoo, now that's hard core.

  3. I'm not sure Haye's chin is that questionable. He got off the floor to beat Mormeck, so he has resilience when he gets hit by a good fighter. It's just how low he carries his guard, you could argue he doesnt even bother with a guard half the time. Audley has a huge left hand and he certainly has the power to flatten Haye with it should it connect.

    I just cant see past Haye's speed advantage though. He is too quick and he is a hell of a puncher, see how he took apart the iron chinned Ruiz last time out. Sprott was dominating Harrison before the twelfth round of their fight and Haye is a much better fighter than Michael Sprott. I feel that Haye could KO Audley within two or three rounds.

    The build up to this fight has seen me warm to Audley for some reason though. I cant put my finger on as to why other than he is a massive underdog, but he has carried himself very well in the face of all of Haye's shit talking. I just dont think Audley is in the same league as Haye when it comes to fighting. He has a punchers chance, but that's about it.

    I watched the Mormeck fight live and I think Haye actually slipped and got caught with a shot at the same time, he went down but never looked hurt, it was more a flash knockdown than anything. The other knockdown against that former 168lb guy was far more worrying than the Mormeck one but that wasn't a 'chin' issue it was a temple shot.

    Sure Harrison could KO Haye if he connects squarely, but the chances of that are minimal Harrison could KO anyone if he came out banging but he doesn't, and there's a reason for that. His own chin is far worse than Haye's is that reason....

    Haye inside 3, and if I were a betting man I'd bet on the first. Haye almost had Ruiz out in the first and Ruiz is a far, far better fighter than Harrison, and actually knows how to defend himself, and has a great chin.

    I can't even begin to warm to Harrison personally, he's a con artist. Hopefully this upcoming fight will turn out the lights on his mediocre career. I still think Haye is an idiot for taking the fight but I'll watch it on a stream I suppose, I'm sure as shit not paying for it.

  4. For 9 pence more you could be drinking quality Amber!

    If I knew anywhere that sold it I'd be there, dammit. Worse than that I bought some "Golden Valley" amber cider tonight from the local offie for 3 quid for 3 litres, and on checking the label it's made by Aston Manor which means I'm putting money in Ellis's pockets :x

  5. Yeah it was a cheap shot, but it was a good one!! It was no more cowardly than threatening to turn up with a mob and destroy the bar...

    No, it was as bad as doing that. :(

    To think that flying in at someone from out of their view is not 'cowardly' is quite bizarre.

    Erm.....if you re-read my post that's exactly what I said....it was no more cowardly than the threats he was making. No less cowardly either so I see it as the idiot got what he asked for. He was being a word removed, and got knocked out by a word removed, basically - I can see the poetry in that :P

  6. Hate to see cowards still kicking and punching someone after they're knocked out though image_13.gif

    Ordinarily I'd agree, but that bloke was threatening to bring the boys round and destroy the bar the next day etc, typical Englishman abroad and he got what he deserved. Thai people are generally really nice too, especially when you consider that everyone is over there flashing dough around and shagging their women. Imagine how English blokes would react if the same happened over here :shock:

  7. The Klits are rubbish aren't they? I reckon Haye will hammer both of 'em if they ever grow a pair
    Wlad Klitschko, the lineal heavyweight champion, offered Haye 50/50 and he turned it down to fight Harrison. Who needs to grow a pair?
    He didn't offer him 50-50. Haye asked for 50-50 and was offered 50-50 on everything except Germany where Klit wanted 100%. So Haye offered 50-50 but Klit takes the German money and Haye takes the British money
    The only place I've seen that offered as a version of the story is in a haye interview with the sun. Other stories have slightly different lines including Vitali saying a 50/50 deal for worldwide revenue was on the table. So it's a little confused.

    Even if they had agreed, Haye would have developed a bad back again.

    It's true that Haye having a bad back was nonsense for the fight with Wlad last year but the real reason the fight didn't happen was because Setanta went bust, and that's where the majority of Haye's money was coming from.

    I'll give Haye the benefit of the doubt on that one but he's not covering himself in glory with the Harrison fight that's for **** sure. If he doesn't fight one of the Klitschkos in the next 12 months then yeah he's going to look pretty stupid.

  8. Didn't know that

    But from what I read it seems the Klits are masters of the dodge, I assumed that's what was happening here

    Don't agree with that tbh, Rob. There hasn't been anyone to dodge in the heavyweight division reallly, and to be fair to Vitali he was desperate for a rematch with Lewis.

    That loss to Lewis is still the most impressive thing on his record, which just about sums it up really :P

    Arguments still rage on ESB about that rematch. Call me old fashioned and all that but if the champion turns your face into mincemeat in 6 rounds then you really can't whine about not getting a rematch, especially when the champion is not far off 40 years old :)

    He was up on the scorecards though so they do have a point. I don't see why the champ should be looked upon badly for retiring when he was in the worst shape of his career though. What makes me laugh is that they seem to think him being up on the cards equals a victory :lol:

    They actually have no point whatsoever, I could name dozens of fights where fighters lost while being down on the cards and there was no rematch. The one that springs immediately to mind is Tyson V Botha, Tyson lost every minute of that fight until he nailed Botha and no-one said anything. It's not who wins the battles it's who wins the war and Lewis despite his age and conditioning just beat the living shit out of Vitaly that night.

    Lewis was also down 4-2 on the cards when he stopped Bruno, no rematch, no crying from Bruno or his fans. To be honest the cards in that Klitschko fight are a bit crap if you ask me, I had it 3-3 and could make a reasonable argument for 4-2 to Lewis.

  9. The Klits are rubbish aren't they? I reckon Haye will hammer both of 'em if they ever grow a pair

    Wlad Klitschko, the lineal heavyweight champion, offered Haye 50/50 and he turned it down to fight Harrison. Who needs to grow a pair?

    This 'lineal' shit means nothing to be honest, and I'm not sure Wlad even is that but I can't be bothered to check. There's so many stupid belts these days...

    However if Haye is ducking Klitschko and waiting for him to get old then that's a bit of a words removed trick normally, but considering Klitschkos history of fighting shot fighters I wouldn't hold it against Haye too much in this instance.

    If I were Haye I'd be champing at the bit to get the man into the ring though, he (Klitschko) looked awful last night.

  11. The Klits are rubbish aren't they? I reckon Haye will hammer both of 'em if they ever grow a pair

    He'll definately beat the one that fought tonight if you ask me, he looked scared shitless in there, against a man that was shot to shit and terrified to throw punches.

    Haye isn't much better, fighting Harrison is a disgrace but if he actually gets some belief I've got no doubt he'll KO Wlad...and by the time he does that the other brother will be about 40 and will probably retire to avoid the pummeling. It's all in Haye's hands now, is he prepared to take a risk?

  12. Wlad is much less timid than he was a few years back, still has to be hounded into pressing for a finish by his corner though.

    That's nothing new from Steward, he was doing the same routine with Lewis when he fought Tyson, except he was even more annoyed at Lennox for prolonging things.

    The difference is, Lewis was facing Tyson, Wlad was facing Sam Peter, who is just awful. Watching that snooze-fest tonight and seeing Peter getting close to Klitschko so often and as easily as he did, with his crap speed, technique and footwork the question kept entering my head...."how the hell do Klitschko fans think this guy could ever beat a prime Tyson?" If Sam Peter can slip the jab and get in range then what would Tyson do....

    If Peter actually had aggression and technique he could have won tonight, but he has neither, he's just an overblown, overweight punching bag.
