Haye demolishes a sorry Audley Harrison in 3.
It took 15 minutes to finally get both guys and respective
entourages into the ring and less than 8 minutes to settle
who was the governor in the all British WBA Heavyweight
clash in Manchester's M.E.N. Arena tonight.
David Haye and Audley Harrison fenced and
postured for a full 2 rounds, landing an atrocious 9 clean
shots until finally in the middle of the third round David
Haye delivered a retirement notice on Harrison's career.
Haye opened up with an onslaught of 18 unanswered shots
knocking Audley to the floor where he lay on his back for a
full 9 seconds, narrowly avoiding being counted out only to
be savagely attacked once again by the WBA holder, forcing
the referee to step in and call time on a very poor and
uneventful showing from a bone dry and frozen Harrison.
Punch stats had Audley landing one sole
punch throughout the whole of his glorious World Title
challenge. Audley looked a broken dispirited man after the
fight and made no excuses for the sad showing. NB .. The
M.E.N. Arena was completely sold out and with former world
heavyweight champions, Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno at
ringside it wasn't a great advertisement for such an
honorable Title..
David looks to be getting better with each showing. Adam
Booth, Haye's manager, commented that in 2011 David is
concentrating on cleaning up the division and being out of
the sport, mission complete by 2013...
