        I think Haye is a prick, delayed this fight for more than 2 years and i can't wait to finally see him brutally knocked out.

          The one thing I do not like about Haye was his "fight" with Audley.

          I find it remarkable, that he publicly admitted to betting on himslef to win in the 3rd. They both avoid contact till the 3rd when Audley goes down, seemingly after Haye said, "now."

          Even after Haye's admission (and later saying something like he as only kidding), your British Boxing Commission lets it slide.

          To me this told me that the Commission is as corrupt as that match was. They must feel that Haye is British boxing. I am not shocked at the corruption in boxing, like the rest of society, but once things are out in the public, they usually don't let things slide.

          It's like when Jake LaMotta deliberately lost to Billy Fox, he was sanctioned. And later was called to Congress totestify and had to asmit he had to lose that fight to get a title fight as the Mafia controlled boxing. And those with wisdom would realize that the "Mafia" is only allowed to control things because even higher up, deeper corruption wants them to exist for certain reasons.

          But Haye vs Audley was one of the few times someone admitted to cheating publcily and was basically rewarded. Just my take.

            Fair enough. Are you a Brit? It's OK if not, just would like to know Re this thread. (I am in the U.S.)

              I'm a Brit, and i probably want Haye to win, only because it would set up another fight with Vitali & would make the heavyweight scene more interesting. I still think he's a bellend though.

                Ok. Thanks. That's a good reason!

                But please realize that us "yanks" may not know British English.

                Not sure of the exact meaning of "bellend"?

                    I want Wlad to knock him out.

                    That said a British boxer becoming the number 1 heavyweight since Lewis would not be devastating either

                      Generally, English fans will support their nations fighter. Haye is well known here, but he isnt held in high affection like Hatton, Benn, Bruno etc. A lot of people were pissed off with the Harrison debacle, but if he can pull it off that will be forgotten.
