Rendall Munroe beaten in a great little fight.....Certainly 119-109 all round was a bit harsh for me.....Nishioka was very classy, but Munroe rarely looked out of his depth.....Hope he can get another chance, perhaps on home soil next time.

not seen the fight but was always going to be a tough ask going over there... sounds like he put in a good performance though

Yes, he certsinly wasn't disgraced, but Nishioka was very good.....One of those relatively unknown fighters that if he came from the US or UK then he'd be raved about by Boxing fans....Very fast hands, which ultimately was the main difference between the pair.

Groves' fight is off! Not the first time this has happened either, last time he got stalled by Volcanic ash, this time his opponent has failed the eye test.

He's still on the Haye-Harrison undercard though. Although the rest of the card looks 5hit.

Not long until Haye-Harrison now, I just wondered what everybody's views and predictions are??

Personally, if you strip away all the talk and hype, I don't honestly see how Audley Harrison can win this fight.

Haye is a fast, hard-hitting heavyweight and is a very good technical boxer, Audley has nice, fast hands, but, overall, is relatively slow and cumbersome about the ring, doing most things at snail's pace.

People question Haye's chin, yet that is debatable....He's never been knocked spark out (something that can't be said about Harrison), his defeat against Carl Thompson, which is often brought up in an attempt to detract from his record, was all about a naive novice running out of gas and his corner showing mercy and getting him out of there before he got badly damaged.

As for Harrison, this is actually a massive step up in class as he has been basically fighting at domestic level for most of his career. Compare this to Haye, who has been fighting at world level for the last 4 years.

The only thing that can defeat Haye on Saturday night is under preparation....If Haye is really up for this, it should be pretty one-sided and I see it being over by rounds 6 or 7, with the likelihood being the ref stopping Harrison taking a prolonged beating on the ropes.....

I think it'll mirror their last two bouts.

Either Haye will win by First Round K-O or Harrison will win with a late left hook in the 10th.

Haye 1st
Harrison 10th.

I'll go for the former.

Haye in round 1 or 2 ko... if he jumps on harrison he could go into his shell and haye can get him out of there
got 10/1 for this

harrison is a natural heavyweight and wouldnt surprise me if he caught haye in the later rounds with a ko aswell 7/1 for this

Im going for Haye in 3 .

Will a Haye win set up a clash v one of the Klitchko's? Or is Haye 'avoiding' them.

More a case of politics keeping them apart....The Klitchsko's are a business team and everything they do is as a partnership, despite the fact they will never ever fight one another.

Haye, quite rightly in my opinion, refuses to be drawn into their web, which involves countless rematches against either brother, if you should dare be good enough to remove either, or both, of their titles.

Its such a shame for Heavyweight boxing, because Haye does have the talent to create some sort of legacy, but with the robot brothers about, its more likely this tarnished division will continue to be a sad joke.


P.S.....Talking of the days of great HW bouts, last night I was watching a re-run of the Holyfield-Bowe title bout (2nd one) from 1993 on ESPN Classic....Fantastic fight, can remember watching it live, but what I need to know is why did they cut the infamous 7th round from the re-run, when the crazy guy in the hang-glider contraption causes a near riot by flying into the ring??....Surely they haven't banned that???...

Can anybody send me a link of the undercard i have looked on a few websites and cant find nothing.
