Haye 225, Bellew 214

Bellew looks like Nonito Donaire would if Donaire moved up to welter next fight.

 

Unfortunately Bellew doesn't have the footwork nor quickness to execute such a gameplan.

This is such a bad matchup stylistically for Bellew. Usually when a fighter is moving up in weight to take on another guy, he has at least one or two attributes superior to that fighter (i.e. footwork, hand speed, etc.) I can't think of one thing Tony does better inside the ring compared to Haye. David has better footwork, much faster hands and carries dynamite in both gloves. His only issue has been inactivity due to a myriad of injuries.

He looked great in the few tune up fights he's had since returning. I don't see this fight going past 4 or 5 rounds. I will say though, the odds of this fight (some places have it at nearly 25-1) are a bit ridiculous. Bellew should be the underdog, no doubt, but those odds are worse than a proposed matchup between Mayweather Jr and McGregor.

 

I do a mix of Sus 250 and Winny V once a year...No REAL BIG gains but its nice and yes it makes recovery and life so much smoother

 

I have several times and with my mix it is more of a stamina and recovery factor

 

You're right but he can't stand and trade with Haye. I'm trying to think up any scenario that allows Bellew to get to mid rounds. He's going to need something that Haye either isn't expecting or hasn't seen before. Probably pointless of course as I'm not sure Bellew will want to even know when he gets hit. I was pessimistic about this fight to begin with and it's just looking like one big ka-ching with the punters taken for mugs, a repeat occurrence with Haye although he says he didn't want the fight, well you didn't have to take it Dave.

 

The only way Bellew see's the middle rounds is if Haye has become totally and utterly shot and we see another Tyson vs Williams scenario

 

Got a joke I tell folks all the time. Think you might like it. Well, it's kind of a joke...

"What is your favorite movie franchise?

...And why is it Lethal Weapon?"

 

As in, ya know, as in I'm assuming that Lethal Weapon is everyones' favorite movie franchise. It's asking for a personalized opinion and then telling them there's only one correct answer... Alright, well, it translates in person a whole lot better than over text medium, I guess. Whatever. Anyways. God bless Mel.

 

Cant see bellew surviving past 4 rounds. hasnt got 1 advantage over haye. only outcome i can see is haye continuously backin bellew onto ropes and hittin different combos and his power KO'ing bellew

 

Really? You think two professional boxers fighting for the heavyweight title could KO a couple of monolithic bodyguards in there to look scary but with probably no boxing experience? Who would have thought.

 

You assumed wrong. It's actually Harry Potter.

 

Those security guys are big and are more than able to hold them away from each other. Unless obviously Haye and Bellew would somehow simultaneously decide to KO both of those security guys just to get to each other and then face prison charges.
