I'm not sure what I expected, but that was a rather pathetic night of boxing. Yes these two guys tonight were completely out of their depth, but they couldn't wait to hit the canvas.; Alright he deserves a couple of fights to blow out the cobwebs, but not sure what Haye could have taken from these two non-events so far. Must step it up now, surely he will.

Most of it was out of sync.

Let's be honest - yesterdays event was never going to be more than a total sham.
Haye talked and talked about only wanting big fights against top fighters yet his two comeback fights have been against unheard of overmatched bums
Yesterdays card was nothing more than a publicity event to sell the fights against Briggs
Two loud mouths who have been doing their thing outside the ring to sell the fight just set up an exhibition night of boxing against a couple of straw men so they could blow their respective opponents over with a gust of win before fighting each other with enough hype to sell to a network other than Dave

Parker beat Takam comfortably on points
That was expected but still a significant hurdle he had to overcome
Will be interesting to see which route he takes next and how it affects the heavyweight landscape - he's been touted as a challenger for AJ for a long time now

It was absolutely cringeworthy at the weekend - really pathetic. Nights like that could put me off boxing entirely if I didn't love it so much.
Haye is going to get absolutely slaughtered the moment he steps into the ring against quality opposition and he probably knows it - all this nonsense is him trying to engineer one final pay-day against one of the big boys and (hopefully) he will retire for good. The whole thing at the weekend was so cynical and false it really annoyed me (even though I knew what was going to happen).

To be honest I have simply lost all interest in Haye,
He builds up a nothing fight like Harrison like a big grudge match knowing full well he can knock him out anytime he wants.
He tried billing Saturday's opponent as a tough fight but anyone who had seen anything of him knew this was another mismatch. And all this is to build up a fight against 44 year old Shannong Briggs whose big moment was beating Foreman almost 20 years ago.
I'll watch his fights on Youtube but will never pay for a fight of his again in any way, shape or form.

Joshua would knock Briggs out without any question.
