Did anyone else who watched the weigh in felt like the ex fighters looked like they were muted when it came to the weigh in. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see Haye looked in phenomenal condition. Bellew looked like he had ate his way up. Would be nice for one of them to have the bottle to say what they are actually thinking which is that Haye will destroy Bellew. He is the better boxer. Has better pedigree. Is stronger, faster, and carrys a significant power advantage. I'm not saying he wins definitely, a fight is a fight and anything can happen. But from the weigh in Haye holds pretty much every advantage going except for the fact he hasnt picked up a vacant belt..
It'll just be a delusional Bellew love in with Froch, Paul Smith and Johnny Nelson talking absolute bollocks. Then Adam Smith growling away and stood there with his eyes wandering about and imagining what's in Nelson's underpants.
This fight was only ever made because Bellew won the cuirserweight belt, and smack talked Haye enough to get the fight. Haye knew he would make more for this than he would have done for a tough fight against a Briggs, so he took it. It also leads him naturally into an AJ match, if he beats Wlad.

They are all towing the party line which is to pretend it's competitive in order to get casual fans to pay £17 for a complete mismatch and an average undercard. Bellew looks like ****, I hope he gets tagged early and doesn't get too hurt. Malinaggi is so past his best it's ridiculous and Eggington is domestic level. O'Hara thinks he's the new Broner even though he's fighting a fading domestic level veteran coming off a loss! The whole thing is the usual fast Eddie yawn fest.
The fight is just a quick cash in for both. Haye can get a 2 round workout for a few million before he fights for one of the HW belts. Bellew will get KO'd for a a few million and then say 'oh well, I was never a heavyweight anyway' go back down to CW and defend his belt against bogus mandatory's.
