jaw jaw about war war has sold a lot of tickets and will make a lot of money .. if Haye goes all out, I expect him to win by k.o. in the fourth or fifth .. I won't be watching, I'll leave it to the trusty Costello/Bunce radio commentary
Saw bellew last night trying to act all cool on tv. Really hope that haye puts him to the sword so we don't have to listen to his big gob again. Haye in 6.
Haye should win, but IMO he doesn't have the heart that Bellew has, just think back to the toe injury against Wlad. Bellew has done well with the limited ability he has and it would not surprise me to see him get a few on Haye, it depends on how Haye fancies it after getting smashed in the face that will dictate this fight. Looking forward to this and the rest of the card.
I'll be there Saturday - really looking forward to it and the atmosphere should be lively! Also managed to get rooms at the IC Hotel at the O2 so none of the usual hassle with getting away.
I'm not sure Bellew can get to Haye, and even if he does he's not that heavy handed and Haye has a granite chin. Haye will definitely get to Bellew - too fast and too powerful (Bellew has never faced a puncher like Haye).
Bellew has never been hit by anyone with the same dig as Haye
He folded against the only guy who does bang in Stevensson and I think he will be knocked out in a humiliating fashion on Saturday.
The whole press conference yesterday the local fans especially were a disgrace. Bellew always annoys me with his general demeanor anyway and his his pug eyes.
He lacks the emotional intelligence to do anything prefight with class or even with someone easy going like Nathan cleverly he is too thick to just do some light sparring as regards the talk. He has to make himself sound like the last word on stupidity.
Backing Haye is buying money and I can't see this going beyond 3 rounds, a blind man can see Bellews punches coming and unless he has learned how to land big shots on big guys he won't cause Haye any problem. Enzo Maccarinelli was a far better cruiser than Bellew and I can see this fight going the same way as the Haye and Enzo fight
As Carter said the scousers behaviour yesterday was again very poor. I remember them chanting you're shit and you know you are to a Audley Harrison as he was being carried out on a stretcher, stay classy Liverpool.
Was hilarious to see Bellew try claim the moral high ground. A man who has built a career on abusing his opponents before the fight, and probably landed a Hollywood role from it too.
Haye is going to destroy him and I'm looking forward to seeing the KO on social media the following day.
Lost quite a lot of respect for Haye having travelled out to see his shocking performance in Hamburg.....blaming a broken toe when he won the title with a broken hand.
Even with this though I still really hope he smashes Bellew and his non stop scouse bullshit (please note KR).
The blokes DH have fought since his comeback have been poor and his lack of recent combative action can surely be TB's only hope here.
On top of the natural power, speed and chin issues already mentioned - DH's feet are way to good for Bellew.
Bellew thinks he can win it after round four and go the distance on points if necessary. Trouble is he won't get past Round 4. Not a big fan of Haye but he's got too much power and class for the Evertonian.

Haye in 6.
Can't see it though, think Haye wins early

Haye inside 6 rounds.

Looking at it objectively this is a nothing fight with no titles or anything at stake yet people have been sucked in and will spend a mint on it.

Bellew comes across as a WWE/UFC type character with his trash talking, but would prefer him to win of the two.

Haye inside 3.
With a bit of luck he'll be carried out on a stretcher in a more severe fashion than Fraudley was.
Looking forward to a career ending fight for the scouse lad.
No boxer has ever made it close.
and
1 was born in liverpool
had enough of gobby scousers of late. hope its a good fight.
Not proud of that stance but I can't deny it.
He used his Bermondsey background to gain traction with the fans of his 'hometown'.
He'd never stepped foot in the ground prior to that.
