Ordinary Harrison v Michael Sprott
How these 2 fighters deserve a shot at the European Heavyweight title completely baffles me, it's up there with Tony Blair being made Middle East Peace Envoy. Anyway, it's still a boxing match so i'll watch it and put money on it.
When Harrison 1st burst onto the scene and won his Olympic gold medal he seemed to have all the attributes to make a top pro. He came across as being articulate, talked a lot of sense whenever interviewed and had the athletic build and height and a great jab. The thing that seems to let him down is he is a boxer who doesn't like to fight. Take him into the trenches and have a war with him and he doesn't have the heart to come through. He's been really poor and has bored the British fight fans for far too long. For some reason he actually thinks he's good enough to win a world title. This guy is as deluded as those loony tunes who enter the X Factor and think they can sing.
He's been targeting David Haye recently, obviously trying to get into the limelight off the back of David's success. Yesterday he basically said if they had a fight we both know what the outcome would be, he didn't give an outcome himself but he was making out it would be a victory to him. Anyone who follows boxing knows what the outcome would be, Haye would destroy him.
Onto tonight's fight: When these 2 met a few years ago Harrison was having the better of the early rounds but then Sprott caught him with a peach melba of a punch and sparked him out. Harrison seems to have gained a bit of confidence though after winning the Heavyweight Prizefighter competition so my thoughts are he will dominate with the jab and these will have an accumaltive effect, so i can't see it going the distance. I might have a round bet later but for the moment i'm just going for Harrison to win at 1/2.
Good luck to anyone having a bet on the boxing.

Audrey (from CORRIE ST ) then I would put my make believe house on him !!!.
BRING BACK ALF ROBERTS he would do
ORDINARY...HARRISON
Good grief, letting down the good weekend of boxing is another battle of the grandads. Evander Holyfield v Frans Botha. You've got to question why this fight is allowed to happen. Holyfield already suffers from badly slurred speech, shame he didn't have any ability to handle the huge amounts of cash that he made in his prime because he's gonna end up being a complete cabbage by the time he's 50. :-(
Audley Harrison - Floats like a butterball and stings like a flea!
What was the bloke up to??.
Only had to last the final round and he gets knocked out by a one handed numpty.
Fair play though to Harrison,he did win.(but i still don`t know how)
UNBELIEVABLE....
