Tony Bellew Talks David Haye, Heavyweight Division, Confirms Meeting With the UFC

[Master]

Bellew is stuck, he has no other option other than Haye and he would hate to admit that.

Haye, being the diva that he is knows this and probably asking for more money than Eddie and Bellew think he is worth, can pretend he has other options on the Dave channel.

Hughie may beat Parker and he would be too big for Bellew too.

Bellew should retire and stick to commentating on sky.

Everything you write is true

Win, lose or draw Bellew will retire after this fight. This is a bonus pay day that he did not expect to get.

[Mark TKO]

neither fighter had anywhere to go except rematch - and with question marks over ending of first made it all that easier

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.

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.

That’s not true, Bellew had choices... they all involved him getting savagely beaten and probably knocked unconscious but still they’re choices

Hey, we've all got choices. I could choose to jump in front of a train, but I ain't likely to.
I don't think it's anything to do with getting knocked unconscious, it's just down to Money, pure and simple.
If he had choices and Haye never, why would he choose him?

[Batman]

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.

[GaMo]

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

[X]

True, this is a fight with as much real meaning as Mayweather v McGregor.

Haye was always a superb athlete with excellent power, but he never properly learned how to box. He has always had technical flaws, and his unorthodox training methods haven't done his body much good. Thing is, after his divorce, he needs a couple of good paydays before he swans off to reality TV.

Bellew has made the most of his pretty mediocre talent. Two big paydays against a part timer is much better than getting his face smashed in by Oleksander Usyk.
