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

[Master]

[Primo Carnera]

It's Funny because Haye weighs exactly the same weight as he did in his last fight. against De Mori he was only 3 lbs heavier. yet in those fights he definitely looked a bit porky.

[Mark TKO]

Bellew can't even get a tupac never mind a sixer.

I've just paid box office

And also bet on Haye to win in round 2....

[Dean Duke]

9% body fat for Haye 25% for Bellew ?

[Primo Carnera]

See now what I don't get is that it's heavyweight , there's no limit, so why does Bellew strip down to his boxers? He's a stone lighter , but looks nowhere near as good, so why show everyone the difference?
If he weighed in with his trackies and hoodie and trainers on, nobody would be able to work out the difference and would have to keep guessing?
Don't think it makes a lot of difference, but every mental edge counts.

to the people complaining that this is getting more publicity than the Garcia v Thurman fight, fucking hell watch the press conferences for each fight and tell me which one seems more interesting (not from a boxing fan point of view just in general)

Thurman - 'yeah...errm...well, yeah its a great fight, I wanna create a legacy, Danny Garcia is a great fighter and he keeps on winning but errrmm, I wanna win, I wanna prove I'm the best so eerrmm yeah I'm gunna keep it short, thank you and I'm gunna win'

Garcia - 'first off I wanna thank god...and my dad...I've been champion for 5 years now, I don't win because I know how to win, I win because I'm the best and I'm gunna prove that, it's a great fight between two great fighters''

Now lets go to London

Haye - 'you fucking retards, go bet all your money on your boy to win, I'm gunna put him in hospital, I'm gunna decapitate him, he looks like he's been eating all the pies, he's fat he's slow, I'm gunna fucking brutally knock him out'

Bellew - 'Shut up spongebob'

regardless of it being a mismatch and regardless of how good a fight Garcia v Thurman is, the Sky media machine is in full swing and they have sold Haye v Bellew to the max, the casual fan (in the UK especially) doesn't even know that Garcia and Thurman are fighting and they haven't really done a fat lot that I've seen to sell the fight themselves, yeah fights shouldn't rely on trash talking to sell it but unfortunately it helps massively.
