I cannot see anything but a Haye win... By KO... Early. I do like Bellew and I do think he's good but just not good enough to beat any version of David Haye, regardless of weight. His mouth lets him down over and over again.
Spot on mate. Easy win for Haye. Bellew not in his league and with the extra weight basically has no chance. Could be as brutal as Canelo v Khan.
A few days ago I said Bellew would beat haye and that he is the best cruiser about, everyone obviously disagreed with me so I went back and watched the makabu fight again and to be fair he done the business, he knows how to finish a fight. I then went back and watched the masternak fight and he was just getting pepperd with jabs all through the fight. I would like to retract my comments I made the other day about him. He can punch and he can get his man out of their but his boxing ability is limited. I think hayes speed and power beats bellew. I still think he won the first clev fight though.
I was starting to think you must be Tony's cousin! Seriously though, Bellew has spectacularly overachieved by picking up the WBC strap and is right to want to pull a Khan and go up in weight for a big money knockout loss. It's better than being knocked out by Drozd, Usyk or Lebedev for considerably less money.
Bellew would get starched in first three rounds. Would try to trade blows and would get rumbled early.
Not sure about Bellew knocking out Haye as he took some flush shots on the whiskers from Wlad at HW and didn't budge, whereas Bellew was wobbled badly by Brudov at CW. The fight with Makabu was a shoot-out, throwing bombs ,and it was a case of who got hit first, it could have quite easily have been Bellew knocked out.
