Now, I really wasn't going to do this. Why? Because I'm a big fan of both. And the small fact that both times I have done this I have predicted the result correctly. I haven't got much time to do this before XFactor followed by the fight so I will be rushing it. When this fight was announced, many people questioned whether Harrison is worthy. Hate him? Think he's waste? One-sided affair? Doesn't deserve the world title shot? Forget all of that, this is the most intriguing and talked about heavyweight fight in years. Biggest domestic heavyweight fight in over 15 years. Sold out a few days after release, in line to draw big pay-per-view buys for Sky Sports. I'm gonna breakdown the fighters as I see it... David Haye's strengths "Speed kills" is a common phrase, especially in boxing. Very rarely fails when you are extremely fast. Combine that with genuine one punch knock out power then surely that is the route to victory every single time. He also has ...

Yeah blaad it's that time of the year for one of the most talked about (or do I mean heavily debated/criticised) awards. Everyone seems to have an opinion on it. I do think they are sometimes judged more for what they aren't doing without consideration for the positives. Last year, for instance, was a good show in my opinion. Celebrated a lot of UK acts, we didn't care about the Yanks apart from how good Keri Hilson looked. What do most people remember it for? UK funky artists performing by tables and Tinchy Stryder's outburst on twitter about not winning anything. This year the nominations are quite accurate if you ask me. What were people talking about? There isn't a Best DJ category. Yes, the same DJ category they cuss every year for being biased. Not to say getting rid of it is the right thing to do mind you. I do think they should do a Best Independent Act though. The MOBO tour itself was represented with indies Donaeo, Mz Bratt and Maverick Sabre. Throw P Mone...

Something's telling me not to do this post, because part of me feels like I will be wrong. It's never stopped me before so here goes... Let's be honest, we haven't cared about heavyweights in a while. A slew of sub-par champions has meant interest dwindled in what was Boxing's bread winning division. From about 2004 onwards, the light weights reign as the most exciting and generate the big PPV money. Another change has been the star-studded USA who ruled the heavyweight division since as far as I can remember, now have no world champions. All of the champions are either Russian or from Ukraine (Kiltschko brothers) and reside/fight out of Germany. Not exactly the glamour we've come to expect. To be frank: Heavyweight boxing is dead! However, tonight's fight is the Heavyweight divisions most mouth-watering contest since Heavyweight #1 Lennox Lewis fought late replacement and soon-to-become (at the time0 #1 Vitali Klitschko in 2003. Blimey, 6 years ago. 6ft 2, ...

Music isn't my only love; another is boxing. Ideally I would have updated this from Tuesday so it would have been in easily digestible bites but I forgot. This is the 5th series (if I recall correctly)of the popular 24/7 filmed 4 weeks leading up to the big fight. 24/7 provides the viewer with an in-depth look into the gruelling training sessions, reveals both fighters personality outside of the fearless bastard they are in the ring, relationships in the training camp and family, and everything in between. Shot and edited immaculately, it almost looks like a movie. If you can't tell it's fair to say I love these shows. Great way to build profiles and (or in my case add to) anticipation for the showdown as well as provide casual arm chair fans a look at the smaller named fighter. 24/7 played a big role in making Mayweather the big marquee name he is now. At the top of the century 'Money' May was struggling to attract big pay days he felt he deserved. Fast forward to ...
