Anyone giving Bellew much of a chance for tonight?

Can't see anything but Haye by KO tbh.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Haye early doors is where the smart money is going, but if Bellew survives the early onslaught there's a chance Haye will run out of gas.

Never had much stamina and this is his fourth (I think) fight in five years.

 

[GIMH]

I'm no boxing expert but Jesus Haye looked woeful

 

[Niall]

A seismic shock in the world of boxing according to Sky.
A lot of focus on the Haye injury, but he looked rubbish before that, low quality fight sadly.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Best fight between a scouser and someone on one leg since Paul McCartney got divorced.

Just saw the fight and it really could have been stopped after 6 as Haye could barely stand up with that injury with even the final "knockdown" was as a result of Haye's leg collapsing beneath him

Only way Haye fights again is if he needs the money because if he cant take Bellew out in a couple then he has no future on the world stage

I mean I'll still watch this fight but I'd much rather watch these two fight legitimate opponents in their own weight class.

I take that back.

If David Haye fights any heavyweight in the top 20 he gets destroyed. Even before the injury, he looked garbage. No timing, slow footwork, no balance, and the power wasn't there either. I guess now we know why he hasn't fought anyone legitimate in 5 years (and even then, Chysora is more British/European level than world class).

Bellew as well, saying he wants Wilder. Jesus. I would hate for that fight to happen.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So Haye off for surgery on achilles and Bellew says he broke his hand early in the fight. Pure drama last night even if it wasn't great quality.

 

[S.Kennedy]

I just watched it and seemed to like it more than most. Some heart was shown. The prematch trash talking was absolutely absurd and put me off watching it live.

 

[King Pietersen]

June 10th. T Mobile Arena has reportedly been reserved by Mayweather for a potential fight with Conor McGregor. Oh ****. Really hope this happens.

 

[Niall]

So anyone give Jacobs a prayer this weekend?

 

[hendrix]

Damn, I was giving that to Jacobs. Not a robbery because it was close...but still, I thought he'd done enough and deserved the W.

Gave GGG 4 of the first 6 and at least 2 of the remainder

KD was the difference IMO

 

[Niall]

Props to crolla for his heart, but that was elite from Linares.

 

[hendrix]

Usyk vs Michael Hunter coming up in a few days. Awesome, awesome fight.

 

[hendrix]

Usyk too good. Might be my favourite boxer right now.

 

[hendrix]

Picks for Joshua-Klitschko?

 

[hendrix]

Hughie Fury does a runner. Surely everyone is fed up with this lot by now.

 

[Bahnz]

Shame, but it was on the cards with all the whining and prevaricating from the Fury camp. Time for Parker to head to the UK?

Tyson Fury was on holiday in Devon recently - and weighing 27 stone.
