Haye & Harrison – Fine them both
14-Nov-10 02:42
For a WBA heavyweight world title fight that was watched live in the UK and many other countries around the world, it was a disgrace. Harrison would have been lucky to have landed any more than one clean punch. The 39 year-old should be fined by the British Boxing Board of Control for a lack of effort in the ring in being knocked out in three rounds. An immediate inquiry should be held and a large part of his purse withheld.
Don’t think there should be any celebrations for WBA world champion David Haye either. As part promoter of the mismatch, he should be fined as well for putting on such a farce.
There will have been plenty of fans inside the MEN Arena in Manchester or watching on television who would have said to themselves about boxing, “never again”, after paying for the privilege of seeing Harrison fight like a heavy bag.
Boxing killed off part of its audience and fan base on Saturday night.
Someone needs to be held responsible.
