I am thinking that they will both come out swinging & that it is unlikely to go the distance, So... 1, At least on fighter to take a count in the 1st Round. 2, Bellew inside the distance. Given the outcome of the first fight, i was surprised to see Haye as such a strong favourite at 1/2. Really up for this bout, nobody is saying it will be boring! Sorry mate! I know shit!

WyattSheepMask Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Not a fan of Bellew, not by a long shot, but I’m even less of a Haye fan so the lesser of two evils won out here and won myself a little bit too. I was surprised to see Haye as such a heavy favourite with the bookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted May 5, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted May 5, 2018 I'm amazed at the number of people who've bought into the 'Bellew is a gobshite' thing because of the stuff he says in the build-up to his fights. It's as if he's selling the event! We're on a wrestling forum and people are buying his promo. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never shuts the fuck up, even when he's not talking about his own fight, and he's always saying the same old shite. For me it's not a question of buying into anything, just find him a twat. Haye is as well though so it was a no win/no lose kind of thing for me in a way. A div was going to win, and a div was going to lose. Got to begrudgingly give Bellew his due for this one though. Haye's not what he was but this was clear cut and was closure. Edit - how many times is Dave Coldwell going to start a sentence with "I can't put into words..." and "I can't explain..." only to go on and explain? Edited May 5, 2018 by wandshogun09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll happily admit I was wrong with my initial judgement a few years ago, but he's honestly such a great bloke. Two mates see him every week at their kids' footy and they can't speak highly enough of him. I get that he comes over as a dickhead, but he's pulled so many people's undies down when it comes to the perception they have of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'm ever going to be a fan but I can see what you mean. What we see of any fighter during the build up to a fight isn't going to be the most accurate reflection of who they are as a person. But it's all we've got to go on. What do we reckon is next for Bellew then? Is the Ward fight realistic? I haven't followed anything of Ward since he retired, has he even been talking about a comeback? I'm glad they're being sensible about Bellew and heavyweight though. It's one thing fighting Haye who's a small heavy and close enough in size to Bellew, but the rest of the big names at heavyweight are way too big for him. If he doesn't get the Ward fight, maybe he should retire like Coldwell and his missus want. Because I'm not sure how much better it gets for him than back-to-back stoppages over David Haye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I thought Haye was doing alright in the first 2 rounds. Then he got a bit cocky and tried to get in close quarters and it didn't work for him. He hasn't got the speed or any chin anymore. And with the arm & leg injuries and inactivity, his body can't hold up to pro-fighting. He's had a couple of good pay-days from these fights in return for a couple more blemishes on his record. Time to leave it there for him and step into promoting.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted May 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 What's Shannon Briggs up to, drug suspension? Unfinished business there. Haye vs Briggs on Dave, sandwiched between re-runs of Mock The Week and QI sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Cod Eye Posted May 6, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 6, 2018 Thought Bellow showed just how good a boxer he actually is. Granted, Haye is a shadow of his former self, but you can only beat the man in front of you and I thought The Bomber made him look amateur. On a side note, I still don't see anything in Joe Joyce. Everything he did appeared to be in slow motion and cumbersome. Can't help but thinking he will get destroyed against even slightly better opposition. Oh, and I only saw the end of his ring walk, but what was with the Mexican shit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
