Bellew v Haye 2 - 5/5/18 - O2 London

[smashup]

Think Haye will box on the back foot and win this pretty comfortably, maybe by stoppage.
You can bet your life he'll box the complete opposite to what he did in the first fight where Bellew failed to really impose himself on a one legged man for 5 rounds.
Should be interesting this.

Haye will be smart and take his time..

Bellow will always look to counter.

This rematch will decide Hayes future in boxing.

[Batman]

Haye looked horrible even before his foot exploded, as much as I dislike him if he has anything left and doesn't fight like an idiot he wins.

Having said that Bellew will be well up for this and he will feel like he already knows what Haye has to offer based on the first few rounds of their last fight.

Two tremendously unlikable characters, I don't really care who wins, I'll watch it if I can find a stream for it, I'm guessing it's PPV

[Master]

Yes PPV and been advertising it for 6 months.

Haye looks serious and will win.

[Mark TKO]

I'd love a double knockout and be rid of these clowns.

Bellew can't beat him unless something goes on his body again - probably his knob this time - which I expect to happen.

Haye has potentially massive pay days waiting for him after this and I reckon he has five rounds before his body starts to fail him. Mind you even if both his arms go I think bellew will still struggle to finish him.

Poop card for PPV, poop main event, Bellew to win , there must be a part of his body that Haye wants to injure during the fight

[p4pking]

It’s a bad Ppv of course, and I don’t care who wins, but think everything points to bellew. Haye hasn’t beat a decent opponent in over 6 years, retired for much of that time due to injuries and looked muscle bound and cumbersome in his comeback “fights”, neither going long enough to know whether his body will likely hold up in any kind of a contest, the first between these two certainly casting doubt on that. bellew has had a good run in the same stretch of time. Nothing remarkable, but solid and he carried the weight alright. Of course nobody gave him a prayer last time, a guy who got smashed by Adonis Stevenson beating what had been a good hw. Is haye close to that any more though? He seemed to have started training as if he was a fitness model and not a fighter, and if a guy goes that route when he’s injury prone and pushing 40, I dunno. Certainly wouldn’t shock me if some rest did him good and he was able to make this an early blowout, but boxing off the back foot in a long fight seems highly unlikely.

[Master]

Haye should have recovered from his injury with the amount of time he has been given and should win it even if it by a decision.

Bellew would count that as a moral victory and Sky would try and sell a 3rd PPV fight because they are cunts.

I've no issues with the fight. Both are past their best and know they cannot compete with the elite, so why not have a domestic fight again. The first one was fun and this one might be too.

[Shamrock]

Haye wins simply because he has to. There is nothing left if he loses this fight even if its due to another injury. He was awful the first fight but credit to Bellew he took some shots that Haye thought he couldn't. Haye will fight a much more measured intelligent fight this time and will wait for his opening to end it rather than trying to force it.

I expect Haye to win by stoppage around half way - then get a shot at one of the big guys and get retired for good.

Haye had his shot against Wlad back in the day and he didn't quite measure up. Haye belongs in the past along with the Wlads and the Briggs and within two... maximum three.... fights that's exactly where he will be.

[Master]

If Haye wins then I am sure AJ will want to fight him because it would be an easy win. Haye would get demolished in a couple of rounds, he is too small and old now.

If Haye wins it would be more fun if he fights Briggs, Whyte and Wilder et al to earn the right to face AJ.

[Ron Swanson]

Haye earn the right, that’s funny. Haye has shown no interest in earning anything ever. He wants to milk the public, same as ever. Have to give him credit for the long con though.

[smashup]

Haye does not look that confident here, loads of fake coughing and blinking and often lost for words
1-0 Bellew

Yeah I don't want either guy to win. A draw wouldn't be satisfying. I wish there was a scenario where they could both lose...

having said aid that I think I dislike Haye less. I found myself pulling for him in those last 5 rounds even though he deserved to lose for his arrogance.

hayes gotta go into this fight with a 12 rounds strategy. Look to score points and land shots not necessarily with power but work his way into the fight first. Be elusive but not overly athletic given his frail body,do everything by the book. Bellew made him miss a lot first time because hate was so wild. I know he can't throw a straight right anymore but if he's more controlled I can see him winning enough rounds this time.
