Hayes movement

To my eye Bellow looks the better mover (judging by the latest vision of their workouts), and Bellow also looks the sharper of the two. I observe Bellow to be lighter this time around (in comparison to their first fight). To me this suggests Bellow is largely banking on David Haye not being able to knock him out. The fact that Haye has came in looking stiff, and not moving so well, might not matter, because Haye's best chance is for a KO - so perhaps he has been training specifically for the early KO, and Bellow been training for a points win. Tactically I think that works in Haye's favor, because he has nothing to fear from Bellow - who if he couldn't knock him out on one leg, won't be able to deter a fully functional David Haye. I expect Haye to walk Bellow down and knock him out in 4.

 

Ah yes, Hayes may very well walk down Bellew and ko him. Can anyone suggest some of Hayes matches versus young ,live contenders whom he disposed of under 4rds with his blazing speed and legendary power?
I need to brush up on my boxing knowledge as my mind is a bit hazy at the moment

 

And the excuses will keep on coming....

 

Haye looked sharp to me. Has better taste in music also.

Easy there fella.

Haye is not 'the commodity' in this fight at all. Haye's potential shot at Joshua ended the second he lost the first fight.

And given he's not fighting in America, he won't be able to get a shot at the WBC belt either.


Hearn is the promoter, Bellew is his fighter and Eddie has a dislike for Haye......

Hearn could eye a trilogy decider should Haye win, but he doesn't get a shot at Joshua.


Joshua's next 3 opponents will be Wilder/Povetkin/Miller/Whyte or Pulev.

Povetkin - WBA Mandatory

Whyte/Pulev - IBF Mandatory

Wilder/Breazeale ll/Miller - Will be his voluntary....Depending on whether Wilder wants it or Breazeale beats him, otherwise Hearn will introduce him to the US against Miller to raise his profile over there and try and get US fans to push Wilder into a corner where he has no choice.

 

A respected boxing channel on youtube was commenting on how Haye was not able to push off his back foot and looked like he was nursing something.

The smart money here is on a repeat of the first fight. Bellew TKO late or Bellew UD for me.

Haye is done. Even if he magically manages to come through this with the W, his days as a top pro are over.

He doesnt get any big fights either, the first fight confirmed that.

He could though be a padding to an upcoming prospects record if he fancies it.
