And so it came to pass… blah, blah, blah… Audrey Harrison lost… again!
Eating gloves was always part of Audley’s pre-fight game plan so this was working perfectly!
The pre-fight quotes –
“Fortunately, there are enough people in Britain who want to see him get destroyed, completely annihilated. That’s why this fight is happening. They want me to close the curtain on the joke that is the Audley Harrison show.”David ‘Hayemaker’ Haye
“I’m no shining violet.” Audley ‘A-Force’ Harrison
Hayemaker: “What were you doing when you were 18?” A-Force: “I was running the streets, taking money off people like you.”
“I’m just a better athlete – I bet I could run faster and jump higher than you.”Hayemaker
A-Force: “I’ve sparred many rounds with you and I’ve never tasted that right hand you claim you have.”Hayemaker: “That’s because you were too busy cowering in the corner.” (see photo above)
“We’re going to contact the British Boxing Board of Control and request that Audley be allowed to use an axe in the ring on 13 November. What good is an axe if you’re too scared to throw it?”Hayemaker
“I can’t call myself the greatest but I can say this is the greatest comeback story in British sport, bar none.” A-Force
“Audley is a one-dimensional fighter who is going to get a three-dimensional beating and will be dreaming in 3D by the time I’ve finished with him.” Hayemaker
“His ego’s out of control. Part of the beast that is David Haye, I created it. He idolised me.” A-Force
“When I came out of the Olympics they called me Muhammad Ali, then four years later I’m ‘Fraudley’. But after this fight I’ll be extraordinary.” A-Force
And my personal favourite – “I’m going to give him a beating in love, a beating in love and compassion.” A-Force
THE END
“I wouldn’t accept that I froze at all, it was a bit cat and mouse earlier on, but he’s a counter puncher and so am I, it was always going to be like that. I definitely didn’t freeze, I’m not a gung-ho kind of fighter, I set traps for people and I had him dancing to my tune.” A-Force
