Re: Tony Bellew Talks David Haye, Heavyweight Division, Confirms Meeting With the UFC
Haye should try to come in lighter than last time, he looked cumbersome and sluggish in the first few rounds of the first fight before his foot exploded

He looked like shit even before the leg went. He was slow, sluggish, his stance was wide and all of his punches had a loop to them. Low hands, leaning over his front foot at times... it was amateurish stuff from Haye to be honest and there's nothing he did to convince me he's an elite heavyweight. He was lucky he wasn't in there with Briggs or Fury because he'd have been properly taken out (same with Wilder and AJ) if Bellew was dangerous, Haye would have left the ring on a stretcher with those slow leaping attacks and wide shots.

I believe Haye was carrying the injury before the fight which is why he looked so bad.

He had a shit (in my opinion) trainer and if the rumours are true, he didn't do much training at all. I think he thought Bellew would just fall down when he let his hands go. He fought a sloppy and arrogant fight.

Can not blame the trainer for Haye looking shaky and unbalanced on that achilles which was why he was loading for the big shots so early.

Well looks like the rematch is set for December 17.

On a Sunday no less.
Hate both, kick in the balls that it is ppv with Eddie cunt Hearn grinning on the sides. Humbug.
I didn't realize it was a Sunday, PPV was expected, I wouldn't pay for if the card started at 7pm on a Saturday evening...what time on a Sunday?
I gotta be honest, a 3pm card on a Sunday afternoon would be right up my street....I wouldn't be happy about PPV but boxing on a Sunday afternoon sounds fucking perfect

You sound like eric44 now. Just need Nige and the hookers (if they are available Sunday) and you are all good to go.
Re: Tony Bellew Talks David Haye, Heavyweight Division, Confirms Meeting With the UFC
Unfortunately a marketable fight these days, will make some money if they're confident of doing the O2. As much as I have followed Haye and like him, it is clearly outrageous that the winner of this fight could get a alphabet HW title shot, shows how HW standards have declined, which I guess is why they are both after it. What happened to warm ups with journeymen after a loss? Oh I forgot Bellend IS a journeyman. Now Vlad has gone (and he wasn't that great) There are probably less than 5 top line heavyweights out there, compared to 60's or 70's standards they are all pretty mediocre, with Joshua and Wilder the only unbeaten and untested as yet. If bloody Hearn continues to do well promoting Joshua he will be another Vlad/Vitali and make a fortune.
PS deliberately never mentioned the pikeys

I can see same outcome as don't reckon Haye's body is up to it - unless he can spark him in 3-4 rounds.
That’s not true, Bellew had choices... they all involved him getting savagely beaten and probably knocked unconscious but still they’re choices
Re: Tony Bellew Talks David Haye, Heavyweight Division, Confirms Meeting With the UFC
I can't help but think that this fight should be nothing more than a massive flop, Hearn says that they were looking at other options but the fans and everyone that they spoke to were calling for this fight and this is the one that the public wants.
I just can't see it, I can't imagine even the casuals (god I'm sick of using that word when discussing boxing) buying it this time.

No different to Mayweather vs McGregor... it’s just a money fight with no meaning in the division
