Haye or Harrison? Sky Bet has all the odds on the big one

In his last fight against John Ruiz, it took David Haye just 25 seconds to knock his opponent down and I'm expecting another electrifying start from the Hayemaker on Saturday. I predict he will pressure and bully Harrison from the start to prevent him from getting into his stride. Harrison, on the other hand, tends to be a slow starter and doesn't rush to apply early pressure. He is usually happy to go the longer distances and take a fight to points (20/1) but that sort of laid-back approach will not work against the all-action Haye. Harrison's best weapon is his massive left hook, which knocked his last opponent, Michael Sprott, clean out. Haye has been knocked down a few times in his career and if Harrison did connect then Haye would go the same way as Sprott and hit the canvas hard. However, Haye is a supreme athlete who ghosts in and out and delivers powerful punches of his own. It seems unlikely that Harrison will get the chance to deliver that knockout blow (10/1). Despite being quite an unpopular fighter with the public in recent years, being cast as the underdog has certainly won Audley some fans in the betting. Perhaps surprisingly, most of the early bets placed with Sky Bet have been for Harrison either to win the fight (4/1) or to knock Haye out in rounds 1-6 (15/2). My own view is that Haye will seal victory in around three rounds (21/10) with a quick, impressive, powerful and devastating display. Such a performance will surely lead to renewed calls for Haye to take on the Klitschko brothers and prove once and for all who is the greatest heavyweight on the planet.
