Thread: Haye-210 1/2 lbs Audley-253 1/5 lbs, Is this Spinks v Cooney all over again?

Seeing the weigh in today, it reminded me so much in the physical differences between Gerry Cooney and Michael Spinks all those years ago. Gerry Cooney the big left hook punching, lumbering giant with long arms. Verses the fast moving and fast punching bulked up light heavyweight Michael Spinks. In that fight in 1987, Spinks weighed 208 lbs Cooney 238 lbs, what happend? For the most part Spinks peppered the crap out of Cooney out speeding him and out punching him.



Is this fight on saturday going to go any differently? I don't think so, Haye punches harder than Michael Spinks and he's just as fast. Is Harrison better than Gerry Cooney was? not really. Despite the weight and height difference I can't see things going well for Harrison.

Audley looks as though hes ready to rumble right there with the fists clenched.

Also, Lennox says Audley wasnt as bad in THE sparring match as hes made out.

Let's not get silly. This is a comedy matchup made for weird people who like the pretence of a real fight. This is not an actual fight. Spinks Cooney was half way there, but this is a joke.

Hayes weighing in pretty light there, much lighter than his other heavyweight fights. He was 222 for Ruiz last time out. Wonder why that is.

Movement and speed. I hope he pays the price though.

You'd piss and shit your pants if either of those guys rasied their voice at you.

i've met silly old audley in person ( he beat a mate of mine at the prizefighter ) big fella, i'm 6'2 16.5 stone heavyweight and he towered over me, also build like a bricks&%t house he should bring down moutines when he hits....but.......we know how audley can be when the bell rings......honestly anything can happen in this fight tomorrow lol

Harrison is just a one hand fighter. Does he know he has a right hand as well? I'm pulling for him. Don't think he's going to make it pass the 8th.

I have to say Lennox looks like a mafia don here.

Okay, I have revised my opinion. Harrison to win by KO or hard fought decision.
