In one of the biggest fights in Britain in recent memory David Haye (24-1, 23KO’S) needed just three rounds to settle all the trash talking in the pre-fight buildup of a fight card tagged “Best of Enemies” to comprehensively outbox, stun, knockdown and eventually force the referee to put an end to the one sided contest against Audley Harrison at the 1.23 mark of the third round before a packed house at the MEN Arena in the United Kingdom.
The European heavyweight champion Audley “A 
Force” Harrison (27-5, 20ko’s) was only able to land one jab in the most dreadful and disappointing loss of his career. Prior to the stoppage he went down from a combination of punches but too his credit he beat the count (to0 quickly to get his wits about him) before the second combinative assault by Haye forced the TKO for Haye.
Pre-fight he acknowledged that this was the fight to prove himself, now with this disaster behind him, his future is indeed very grim, and the cacophony of cat calls screaming “FRAUDLY HARRISON” a nickname he earned after previous disappointing performances despite his much hyped pedigree including winning a gold medal at the 2000 Sidney Olympics will only get louder and might hasten his retirement despite his philosophical spin post fight. .
Haye who made the second defense of his WBA heavyweight crown wasted no time in looking 
towards his future stating excitedly after his victory that that a fight with either Wladimir or Vitali Klitchko the WBO, IBF & WBC champions respectively would surely happen in 2011.
British boxing royalty turned out in force for Best of Enemies with former Heavyweight Champions Lennox Lewis and Frank Bruno, former cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson, former Super Middleweight champion Nigel Benn, and the popular Ricky Hatton in attendance.

As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
