lol. i am rather amused.

 

[Bobby Sands]

having made no attempt to go forward or attack, Roy Hodgson as identified Audley Harrison as his next signing.

 

[Flipmo]

Who the fuck is that, lol.

 

[hizzle?]

A boxer.

 

[Flipmo]

I just wiki'd lol. Uber Nubian monster.

Pool should go for Kranjcar... since it looks like he'll be leaving in the winter and Bayern are ready to make a move for him.

 

[Bobby Sands]

^^he fought David Hay at the weekend and managed to connect with one punch in the whole match.

 

[Bobby Sands]

Robert Pires is gonna join Villa it seems.

Audley isn't stupid. He knew months ago he had no chance. He fought for the money. He had a gameplan. Don't get hit. Land a lucky big shot. We saw how that worked out.

Boxing is one of the hardest sports out there. So I won't hate on him.....



As for Liverpool. They are going backwards. Signing players isn't going to help that. As stupid as that sounds. There's a lot of waste. A poor setup. And a few players that need to leave. They also need to decide on a system, and a style. And not the one they used against Stoke. Liverpool need to lose Roy, ASAP. HE isn't the man for the job. But who is? Kenny Dalgleish... Is not. I don't have any answers to that one.

Boxing is one of the hardest sports. Too bad Audley was playing some other sport.

 

[Bobby Sands]

yea it is but surely a pro boxer should manager more than one good punch in a fight lol

He has an Olympics gold medal. He isn't shit. BUT... He is 39. And Haye is what? Late 20's.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Winning the Olympic gold medal is a great achievement but it is so far from pro boxing. It's not even in the same league. Not many Olympic boxers make it. Audley has been awful ever since he turned pro, being beaten by a bunch of bums and still gets the biggest (underserved) chance of a lifetime and he does nothing. His career has been nothing but bullshit, he was being outclassed by Sprott until he landed that left. He lost to a prizefighter champion I believe?

Im not sure how old Haye is but Vitali Klitschko is 39 and he would rip Haye into pieces.

I know this. All I was saying was that the dedication and hard work required to win an Olympic medal is no walk in the park. He obviously is a good boxer. But.... As is obvious from his track record. He didn't have the skills at Pro level. Fair play to him though. He negotiated a good deal with the BBC after the Olympics.

We'll see in the next year or so.


Just to make it clear, as I don't think Haye is a great fighter either.

 

[Bobby Sands]

what was it? 2 million he got for that fight. 2 million for landing a single punch.

He also had to take some... That's the hard bit.... lol..

Not a bad purse though, is it. But.... I wouldn't get in with either of them for that. Probably get killed.

 

[Bobby Sands]

imagine fighting manny pacquiao. he would have about 100 punches landed on your face before you'd swing your arm at him.

 

[tHuG $TyLe]

Just to make it clear, as I don't think Haye is a great fighter either.

I agree. Haye isn't a great boxer, the heavyweight division is pretty awful, the whole hype that he got when he beat Valiuev makes people think he's awesome, even though that giant is pretty average.

Pacquiao is a class act also.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

Pacquaio is excellence.
