Haye vs Bellew

Some beautiful comments from Bellew in this. He is hilarious.

I still think he has an uphill battle with this though.

He really gets under Hayes skin, which I love.

Unfortunately verbal ko's don't count. Haye was irritated because a lot of what Bellew said he knows to be true. Neverthless, Haye was right when he said he ends this as soon as he wants. Haye should have pressed Bellew on the Stevenson stoppage to underline how deluded Bellew is if he thinks he can withstand the power of a hard hitting heavyweight.

I enjoyed that. Bellew, although funny, is kind of clutching..He must know deep down that he's fcuked..Haye has utter contempt for Bellew the fighter/threat! He really ridiculed him as regards being any use! In contrast, Bellew's OTT wanting to praise Haye as a great fighter comes across as silly.

Haye got even more wound up earlier!

Jesus, Bellew is really getting to him.

Haye will still hammer him though, but its enjoyable seeing him like this. What won't be enjoyable is his mouthing off after the fight.

Not if he wants people to buy this fight

What does the undercard look like? Really doubt I would buy this, think Haye gets him out of there in the 1st.

Just found the card - complete and utter pass, what a weak card.

People, casual boxing fans, would probably still buy it anyway. I see Bellew's excuse for that loss was he didn't go for it in that fight.

Ah i could spend €20 on worse things . I'm looking forward to it , more so for the spectacle than the fight .

Really this should be no more than a 1 rounder. A few scenarios that could prevent this: Bellwe runs and ducks his way through rd 1. Haye is relaxed and easy going and feels out rd 1. Or Haye and Bellew are in on something allowing the fight to develop for a while...

After all this I still went and bought it!

Lets remember Haye waited until the 3rd round to KO Harrison as his friends had money on it

Exactly.....Pro boxing is so murky at times nothing should surprise.

If Haye breaks his toe I fancy Bellew by TKO

He should still be able to land a nice jab even with a dodgy toe; this being more than enough to KO Tony!

Ted Cheeseman, now there's a name to strike fear into an opponent.

Surely not a trilogy ????

Rumours on twitter that Haye has an achilles injury and is on the verge of pulling out. If its true hed be probably brst advised to close down his social media accounts. He'll be crucified if theres any truth to it.

I just seen online he was confirmed to be fit after an injury scare . That's definitely going to be his excuse if he gets beaten.

Bellew is decent odds in most markets.

Haye has fought tomato cans after a period of activity. He is also not very good.

I think Bellew is worth some kind of punt.

Oh ffs Bellew is going to win isn't he :rolleyes:

Edit: Open workouts on tonight, it might give some inclination into how Haye is feeling.

At those odds he has to be worth a tenner.

On points perhaps ?

How good does he need to be to find Bellew's chin with a heavy punch?

That's just not true he maybe nowhere near what he was but he's still a murderous puncher who will cause problems for all but the elite of the division.

In fairness even at his best at HW what exactly did he achieve? He beat whom, exactly? Underachiever in my opinion.

Edit: Yes, a very good puncher who is capable of dropping many a HW.
