Bellew vs Haye 2

I woud've liked to seen this presser at a more neutral venue so that the crowd didnt heckled everyone on team Haye.

 

People seem to forget that Haye threw everything he had at Bellew before his Achilles snapped. Bellew was still standing.

Here’s my full prediction now.

Haye will be on top again. Probably take 5 if not all of the first 6 rounds. Then his body will start to fall apart, his stamina will go. How much fitness work has he been able to do knowing in the back of his mind his body could fall apart? How hard has been able to push himself with that fear there? So I think Bellew starts to come on top in the second half of the fight. Haye’s body gives up and he falls apart and Bellew starts teeing off for fun again OR Haye just about manages to stay in there and he’s done enough earlier on in the fight to nick it on points.

 

Bellew has always been honest and said Haye was a better fighter than him at his best. Haye was obviously very good in his prime but I think he wasn't as Good as many people thought.

 

Can see a bellew win again. Age and inactivity gets to everyone in the end. Especially a guy who relied on his athletism as much as haye did. I think someone on here was right...Hayes training looks all over the place. Instead of learning to fight as an older fighter...looks like he's training to turn back the clock. The only problem is it becomes impossible to do at a certain point. Especially with the injuries he's
carrying.

Too many variables to predict with any certainty...but to me haye looks finished. And they all know it...including haye this time round. Hearn and bellew are taking advantage of the situation...an older finished guy that needs the money. I think they,d heard Hayes condition before making that first fight. If you look back haye tried to kid them on a bit too much in the build up to it...that he was back better than ever. He constantly went on about it. He was like the kid that claimed too much This time he knows hes nothing left tho. They,ve seen his condition with their own eyes now.

I think haye has little chance. He had more chance with his wild swings than what hes gonna try on Saturday. Bellew, hearn and coldwell all know the script. Just using it as an opportunity to tell us how good tony is. Tony is a good fighter...but its a case of getting a guy at not just the right time but getting a guy when hes pretty much finished at the level.

 

Haye by stoppag.


We all know a prime haye bangs him out. The question is can he get anywhere near the level he once was at his age.

Wlad managed to do it at 40 against joshua, looked better than he has done in many a year so I'm hoping the same here for haye when the pressure is really on he strikes me as the kind of guy that his ego will not allow him to lose this one. I reckon he's worked his socks off behind closed doors and belles is in trouble.

Bellew won't quit but he will get stopped on his feet.

 

Think you have hit the nail n the head here. We all know its a cash grab for both fighters at this stage of their career. Can't
knock them for doing it as it's big money and mugs will be mugs.

I mean look at the facts. Bellew ran from a cruiser tournament and Haye ran from genuine heavyweights. It' a con.

 

To an extent yeah but it’s an intriguing one. It’s not like it’s a 90/10. It’s more like a 60/40.

 

Haye takes this by stoppage, and then retires.

Personally I believe Haye can turn the clock back for one last time and ko bellew probably hurt him early and walks all over him and gets the knockout.

 

If Haye wins he’ll go for a cash out with Joshua or Fury...

 

Haye is definitely looking for one last big payday, can't blame him

 

If Haye can get through the fight without injury, he'll win. If not, Tony has a great chance. I'd have to agree the fight is a farce and neither man is relevant to the division.

 

My brain sort of switched this one off, I was sort of sure Haye would break down again and this wouldn't happen.

Now it's fight week I'm actually more excited than I thought I would be.

Still a little bit undecided, I can make a good case for both fighters but I'm ever so slightly edging towards Haye, he looks in great shape this time, he will be a lighter, a little more athletic and has a lot to prove.




As for the rest of the card, I honestly can't believe Jamie Cox is even money to beat John Ryder, I'm actually stunned at those odds. I can't believe Ryder is the odds on favourite.

Ryder 8/11
Cox 1/1

I'm gambling my wifes monthly Vodka money on Cox, Yes that much money, I'm going LARGE.

Oh and remember.. Gamble responsibly.

 

Hayes style is a young mans style, hes past it now and add in the body breaking down frequently and i just cant see us seeing the david haye of old.
Bellew as much as he can annoy me at times, knows how to box.

As has been mentioned numerous times in this thread, the Haye old would annihalate Bellew but that fighter has gone now. And Tony has been in the game long enough add into the mix the confidence bellew will of taken from the first fight and i reckon Bellew will beat haye.

 

Haye has zero footwork in the first fight...I suspect because he was carrying an Achilles injury into the fight...that was his biggest hinderance...

If his legs have just gone then he’ll lose again, but I fancy that they haven’t and he’ll be able to move with Bellew this time...

 

I don’t think tony bellew has good stamina; his punches won’t gave pop after 6 rounds
