Ali used to pick rounds and deliberately ko his oponants in the said round. Don't hear anyone crying about that.
Why? Its not as if there was any resistance to overcome in the first two rounds is it?
probably not, but running his mouth off and the fact that he made almost not attempt to engage until the 3rd round doesn't exactly get rid of any doubts.
the fact that he did fuck all till the third round and tells his friends and family to stick money on the third don't prove anything but it doesn't exactly push it far outside the realms of possiblity either does it? :rolleyes:
This shit happens in boxing, usually the other fighter has been paid to take a dive in the Xth round (but why bother with such a gulf in class?) and usually the other fighter has the brains not to say anything afterwards.
maybe Haye was cautious because the 3 stone got to him and he was wanting to draw a counter out of (the always extremely negative) Harrison? Probably but anybody with half a brain who would be overly surprised to learn that haye saw how rigid harrison looked and waited till the 3rd to KO harrison, either to help his mates at the bookies/be able to brag about calling the round could do with a bullet also. Fact. :)
Honestly, do your self a favour and don't compare what transpired tonight to a single second of an Ali fight... I'd have rather watched ali box trevor fucking Berbick than this shit.Quote:

If he has the talent to pull out a win in a specific round then good luck to him I guess but it is a bit fishy betting on yourself for a specific round.
I told you all round 3 all along and I made a shit load on it!
Lots of people seem to need shooting.
Obviously only Haye knows for certain... but you would be extremely naive not to think that
a) that type of thing doesn't go on in boxing
b) that Haye can be careless with his mouth
fucks sake... good job you guys ain't horse racing fans
i'll tell you what, when Haye says he'll KO a KLIT bet your mortgage/wages/dole cheque on it. See you under waterloo bridge
I'll take it that I have proved my point and that I am right....Quote:

So how much did everyone made for this fight betting? At least there were some happy Sadonians here making a good buck or two.Quote:

I see your point. It would be like the Broncos beating the Lions, and Broncos fans are just happy with a win.;DQuote:
