Harrison says Thompson knocked Haye down in sparring?

[skel1983]

Probably bollocks but interesting if true.


Harrison, who is to fight WBA heavyweight champion David Haye on November 13, claimed that his opponent was floored in training by his 38-year-old sparring partner.

"I heard David Haye's brought in Tony Thompson and they're making a big thing of it," Harrison told Sky Sports. "I want Haye to tell me and the rest of the world what Tony Thompson did to him a couple of weeks ago, because I hear Tony Thompson knocked him down in training. "



Thompson, a 38-year-old southpaw, was drafted in by Haye to prepare for the fight with Harrison, another left-hander, because Haye has little experience fighting southpaws.
Thompson has a good competitive record, having lost only twice in 36 games - but Harrison picked up on what he saw as a sign of his opponent's weakness: "Tony Thompson is not a puncher, David Haye - I am. If Tony Thompson's putting you down, what the hell am I going to do to you? It's so beautiful. He brought in this guy trying to get publicity for him, but he's knocked him down already."
"I'm not a guy that's going in there with a puncher's chance, I'm going in there believing I can win and I'm going to put everything on the line," Harrison said.
"That'll be too much for David Haye. He is vulnerable. All that work I've seen him doing in the gym - doing push-ups - you ain't going to put no muscles on your chin. I'm going to hit you on your chin, and then let's see what happens.
"I'm going to close David Haye down and he's going to be in the fight of his life. Every second, every minute, every round, I'm going to be in his face. He's going to have to break my spirit, break my heart, and he can't do that."
Despite Harrison's fighting talk, Haye remains the bookmakers' odds-on favourite to win the fight.

Even if it is true, Thompson fights nothing like Harrison, he's a horrible choice of sparring partner regardless. However, Thompson is a very smart fighter and could easily catch Haye off balance, it's what he does best. If this is true Tony could have two big claims to fame:

1. He's landed the most punches against Wlad of any fighter.

2. He knocked down Haye in sparring.

That's if it's true.

I don't expect any confirmation to come out for this, and either way it doesn't really effect my opinion of the outcome of this fight in the slightest. Running with bears is the decided difference here.

I really think Harrison is gonna go right hand happy in this fight ala Reid - Calzaghe.

[BIG H]

I really think Harrison is gonna go right hand happy in this fight ala Reid - Calzaghe.

That left uppercut will tear hayes head off!!

I got 100 to 1 special double from Ladbrokes on Harrison beating Haye then winning sports personality. They limited me to £100 bet though.

Nice £10,000 coming my way for Christmas

Oh, they also give 150 to 1 on Harrison winning in the first 60 seconds!! Thats worth a quid at least!

I doubt he'll throw many punches at all!

Dunno.....Williams I reckon is a bigger puncher than Haye and Harrison started quite strong in the rematch. Id also go as far as say that Williams has a better chin than Haye too! At least he fought a Klitschko!

LMAO jesus mate you really Hate Haye dont you.

The two week notice fat Danny Williams that fought Audley would of been smoked in a round by Haye, Haye would also destroy any version of Williams, Williams in truth got a good deal with his Tyson win in reality he was average domestic fighter and all top european fringe world class fighters would of smashed him when he was in his prime.

No way would Haye get Williams any quicker (if he didnt get sparked himself). Fuuck me! Haye couldnt put away Barrett as quick as Solis and Couser!!! and got knocked down for his troubles

Haye will now be shiiting himself at what a cuunt hes about to look!

[Memphis]

Even in beating Williams Audley still fought like a bitch, clinging on for dear life whenever Williams got within two feet.

He makes me sick with the bile he spits out, every minute of every round, who the fuck is he kidding?

david Hate, in the words of Apollo Creed give everybody a present and drop this chump, lay the boot in when he's on the way down too.

Cunt!

[boxingbantz]

Never thought I'd say this but November 13th can't come soon enough.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

over the years audley has said alot of things, most of them rubbish....but on this occation it can go either way

[Fenster]

Ladbrokes are currently 100/1 about Harrison winning Sports Personality, you didn't need the double Ross

I'll give you 1000/1 (£10 limit )

[Dark Lord Al]

I do find it funny how Harrison is drawing lots of attention to Hayes chin , this from a guy who got 1 punch KOED by moderate punching Sprott. LMAO
