It was just a pointless fight. There are a dozen fighters that would have made for a decent fight with Haye and instead we got a fight with Audley. Harrison is well known as a second rate fighter, lacking in heart, chin and with a miserly punch output. It is outrageous that so many bought into it and made these two men obscene amounts of money.
Harrison apparently landed only a jab in the fight. The first sign of trouble and the white flag was being waved. A total farce. I am disgusted that the fight was ever made in the first place simply because I like to see champions in meaningful fights. As simple as that. I'm not all that annoyed though as I knew this would happen and I stayed in bed rather than get up riduculously early to watch it. And part of me is looking at those who are pissed off at having paid for it with a tongue stuck right out and a 'told you so' look on my face. Those kinds of people should have known better, more so if they have any respect for the sport of boxing.
Paying to watch that means it will happen again in the future. The only way to resist is to refuse to take part and tell everyone else not to partake as well. Margarito doesn't really deserve his shot, but let's not compare Margarito and Audley. They are totally different beasts. Margarito won't fall quite that easily.
