Is Tony Bellew committing suicide?

Bellew is way too open and Haye will very likely knock him out, but he will get paid handsomely for it. However Bellews power since he moved up is real, and if he manages to land that big shot first, then he is a massive star, so really its win win for Bellend.

 

More likely he is going to be a rich man. ))

 

I am surprised by some of the responses here. I have followed Haye, not quite a fan but I do like him. Bellew, never been that keen but Haye isn't that much bigger than Bellew, or at least he wasn't. He is a smallish Heavyweight.

If I was Bellew I would made this fight at a catch weight rather than full blown heavy, Haye has the advantage as technically very sound, and with good knockout power. He can take a punch better then Bellew too. I do agree that Bellew has much more heart.

I don't really see this as Bellew cashing out though. There's been bad blood for a long time.

 

Haye is a flap and camera poser...but Bellew bieng toughter, younger and gamer won't win him this fight.

 

I ain't paying for that 1 rounder or a dragged out 6 rounder. haye hasn't had a meaningful fight for a few years and bellew is a current world champ but he ain't no heavyweight and I don't think hate will struggle to land a bomb on the scouser

 

I don't think Bellew is going to beat Haye but I don't see it as quite the mismatch some others do.

Bellew has been a solid cruiserweight since moving up. Haye is 36 and will have fought 3 rounds in almost 5 yrs by fight time. The size difference won't be overwhelming either. Haye will rightfully be a big favorite but I don't think he just runs over Bellew in 1-2 rounds either.

Smart fight for both fighters. Haye gets a ko win in a fight that will attract a lot of attention. Bellew can stick at heavy and be a named opponent to the handful of good British heavies or move back to cruiserweight where he is still a titlist. Not too mention both will make a lot of money off of this.

 

Bellew Got this!

 

Why do people on here rate Haye so highly, by the time the fight comes Haye would not of fought for four years.

 

Little doubt. Bellew unlikely to be competitive at heavyweight.

 

IF Bellew beat Haye is would be madness. Ringside would be crazy.

 

Boxing will be the winner on the day. #sacasm
