Sky Sports wont be showing the Paul Williams v Sergio Martinez fight. I dont think they wanted it in all fairness. Skys cherry picking the best fights over the years but lucky for the boxing fans in the UK they can get to see this fight on Premier Sports. In the space of 4 days they are showing the Williams fight and on the Wednesday night before it they will show Green v Flores.
<a class="postlink" href="http://www.premiersports.tv/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.premiersports.tv/</a> I think they are doing a deal if you sign up for 1 month you get the second month free. Also they will show the Frampton bill from Belfast this coming month as well.

Embarrassing from Sky, the number 3 and 4 P4P fighting each other and they don't even bid for it. Fucking joke.
Did anyone watch Juanma vs Marquez then? Not discussed it with anyone on here, easily fight of the year for me! Here it is for those that missed it:

Thinking about going down to the Haye/Audley weight in on Friday, does anyone know if it'll be free again like the Ruiz fight?

Marquez might be out for 6 months not with a hairline fracture of the shoulder.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.premiersports.tv/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.premiersports.tv/</a> Thats who is showing it in the UK. I think they are value for money when you think the Froch fight will be £15. They are only £7 for the month and that week they have 2 world title fights on aswell. I beleive they are doing a half price deal as well.
Also I beleive they are offering 2 months for half price £3.50.
Enter P921 at the website or call them 0871 6639000 the more people they sign up the more fights they can show.

Can any of you guys give a condensed profile of Haye and Harrison in the lead up to Saturdays fight?
Cant be bothered checking Wicki or the BBC.Pro bouts/National titles/Olympics etc.All info welcome.
I think speed will be the key.

The Haye weigh in is free of charge and it's at the Lowry centre 2pm, might go down myself and take the boy. Both fighters were at the game yesterday as my mate met them both. Still feel Harrison might get lucky but I fully expect Haye to be to fast and powerful.
I'm looking forward to it, who else is on the bill other than Groves?

I'm going down to the weigh in with a few mates, some of them don't even like boxing so that shows what a bit of Sky hype can do for the sport. Hopefully get to meet both, maybe Lennox as well who's meant to be there.SuperKevinHorlock said:The Haye weigh in is free of charge and it's at the Lowry centre 2pm, might go down myself and take the boy.

Apart from Groves the only other fight I know about on that card is Stuart Hall vs Gary Davies.
As for Pac/Margarito, Has anyone seen Marg's latest stunt?

That's awful I reckon Manny will destroy him. Connor do you think the weigh in will be child friendly? i.e will it be suitable if I take my two and half year old son.

Haye - Harrison WBA Heavyweight Championship of the World
Audley Harrison
Age = 39
Height = 6'5½
Reach = 218cm
Record: wins = 27(20), losses = 4(1), draws = 0
Notable wins
Danny Williams (KO 3)
Michael Sprott (KO 12)
Prizefighter Heavyweights 2010 winner
Notable defeats
Danny Williams (SD)
Dominick Guinn (UD)
Michael Sprott (KO3)
Martin Rogan (PTS)
Strengths
Good power. Can remain dangerous late on. Will possess a size and reach advantage over Haye. Good jab. Fairly well conditioned for a heavyweight.
Weaknesses
Weak mental character. Reluctance to take the necessary risks required to control a fight. Can be outworked due to low punch output. Chance he could go into a shell as soon as he takes a hit. Still unsure of his ability to absorb a punch and still unsure of his ability to deal with a mobile opponent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
David Haye
Age = 30
Height = 6'3
Reach = 204cm
Record: wins = 24 (22), losses = 1(1), draws = 0
Notable Wins
Crusierweight
Alexander Gurov (KO - 45 seconds) - Gurov was the EBU Champion
Giacobbe Fragomeni (TKO 9) - Fragomeni later went on to become WBC Cruiserweight Champion
Jean Marc Mormeck (TKO 7) - Haye travelled to Paris to win the WBA and WBC Curiserweight titles. Mormeck was ranked #1 Cruiserweight in the world
Enzo Maccarinelli (TKO 2) - Haye adds Maccarinelli's WBO title to his WBA and WBC belts
Heavyweight
Monte Barrett (TKO 5) - Barrett down 5 times
Nikolay Valuev (MD)
John Ruiz (TKO 9) - Haye become first fighter to stop Ruiz since David Tua in 1996
Notable Defeats
Carl Thompson (TKO 5) - Haye's 10 professional fight.
Strengths
Excellent power. Good accuracy. Very good movement. Very good speed. Very confident.
Weaknesses
Stamina questions have been raised in the past. Probably the main reason he lost to Carl Thompson although that was 6 years ago. Questionable punch resistance. Heavily floored by natural Super Middlweight Lolenga Mock in 2003. Floored and seemingly hurt by Mormeck in round 4 of their title fight. He also keeps his hands fairly low which can be a dangerous tactic. Allows opponent to land unncessary jabs at times. Can be a little gungo-ho and prone to lunging in.
Common Opponent - Thomas Bronin
Haye W (TKO1)
Harrison W (TKO9)
Verdict: Personally for me, i think Haye can end this one whenever he wants. As soon as he lands anything of note, it will either knock Harrison out, or it will force Harrison into a shell. Of course, the danger is always there that Harrison could land that one punch, like he did on Michael Sprott. He could also pose a few problems if he decided to deploy his jab. However i can see Harrison struggling with Haye's lateral movement and i think Haye can end this realtively early, probably with a left jab, right cross combination. The very same combination he flattened Alexander Gurov with. Haye by KO for me, inside 5 rounds.

The George Groves fight on the undercard looks good against Kenny Anderson. 2 undefeated fighters with a total of 22 fights between them with 16 KOs 8 each it has the makings of a good under card fight. I think Groves will win it BUT it will be his hardest test yet.

His opponent James Toney (not the real one, haha) had an eye problem. They offered the fight to Prizefighter winner Patrick Mendy, but he declined, as he would have had only 2 days to prepare.conormcfc said:Can't see you having too many problems mate, unless they start brawling Tyson/Lennox style!SuperKevinHorlock said:That's awful I reckon Manny will destroy him.

Groves should beat Anderson fairly easily. Late stoppage i think.

When people used to say Tony was `heavy handed` I bet they didn`t realise how close to the truth they really were, anyway, out of order taking the p1ss like that, cheeky f*ckers.
