Haye v Bellew - 4/3/17 rd-by-rd

[Gandalf]

This is an extremely poor matchup and shame on anyone that actually pays money to watch it. When Haye wins he deserves a shot at someone in the top 10 and nothing more. He is mugging the easily mugged Brits. A very bad fight.

The Golovkin/Jacobs fight is a much better fight and even that one is potentially a bit of a mismatch.

I'm not really hyped for this. There are better fights that deserve attention. Briedis vs Huck for example. Bellew avoided the high risk low reward Briedis fight for the $$$ against Haye. Can't say I blame him but where does he go after this if Haye bombs him out? The winner of Briedis/ Huck will be waiting for him at cruiser or he remains at heavy. Either will be tough.

Haye got good money for 'mismatches' against Macaroni, Chisora, and above all Audrey. I bet the last generation 'golden boys' like Billy Walker or Freddie Mills would have been glad to have had these potential piss useless cash cows as a pension scheme! The way it goes with promoters over hyping their prospects, good luck to him, but I have to say that Bellend is Virgin (Branson his promoter?) on the ridiculous.

Following his disgraceful non-effort against Wlad, Haye has now punched two opponents during press conferences, fought two guys who literally couldn't box over 3 years and is now fighting an average blown up cruiserweight.

He has been on numerous reality TV shows, is going through a costly divorce and has hyped this 'fight' in his usual crass and tasteless manner.

For a fighter to tell a fellow pro that he will 'kill him', 'hospitalise him', humiliate him in front of his family and do him such serious damage that he won't fight again is vile.

There is a real possibility that Bellew could get badly hurt in this mismatch, which should never have been sanctioned anyway.

Haye has done nothing but disrespect the sport we love, let's hope that he doesn't continue to do so for much longer.

Tell you what - after watching "The Gloves Are Off" face off on Sky Sports last night Bellew 100% has the upper hand and Haye at times was lost for words and didn't look his usual confident self.
Infact he looked mentally worried at times as Bellew put questions to him that he couldn't seem to answer.

If this was a battle of minds then Bellew definitely has the upper hand.

Makes you wonder just how confident Haye will be if Bellew can weather his power for a few rounds.... Will Haye fall apart mentally and we'll se a repeat of the Carl Thompson fight?

This fight isn't until April?!?!?!


THIS....THIS.....is David Haye's issue. He'll go into hiding for years at a time, then pop back up and in 2 weeks you get more David Haye than you ever fucking wanted and tough shit he's still on for MONTHS and then there's what should be a 2 second fight and then what happens? At every single fight in this division David Haye is there yapping like the toy poodle he is.

Oh there's Deontay Wilder
Haye: YAP YAP YAP YAP YAP

Ooooh there's AJ & Wlad prepping for their fight
Haye: YAP YAP YAP YAP


Fuck off David Haye, nobody fucking likes you, you're a joke to the sport, go act or be a commentator on BRITISH (and ONLY British TV), go do some British (and ONLY British) reality TV show, but get your ass out of boxing. The people are tired of you and we've been tired of you for just around a decade.

Lots of nice prices if you think Bellew will win. 18/1 rds 7-12. 5/1 any method.

Not had a bet yet but not a single pound note will be on Bellew. I just can't give him a chance. It's pretty obvious his gameplan will be to get through the first few rounds hoping Haye gasses then stick it on Haye, but he's got to get there.

Whatever anyone thinks of Haye, good luck giving him a weight advantage to go along with his explosive speed and one-punch fight ending power.

Haye definitely looked bored yet wound up about Bellew in that face to face on sky.

David believes he just has to turn up and he will win.
