Haye V Bellew

Bellew is 5-1 or worse at many bookies, tells you everything you need to know to be honest. Just an embarrassing PPV all around with a rubbish undercard and I hope the numbers are rubbish for the cheek Hearn had to put such a bad card on.
 
I'll certainly be watching this with no premium to pay for thanks to the good old android box. Free viewing it's like watching ITV 😀😀. Pleased I got rid of rip off sky 👍

Haye to win
 
Is Bellew of mixed race ? This is not a racist question, something I asked someone else and they thought not. By mixed race, I don't mean first generation but a few races on, he seems to have African/Jamaican features ?

Just curious, not racist at all

Can someone explain why it's a grudge match please? Have they fought before, is there a past history between the two?

It isn't a grudge match. It's a faked rivalry in the attempt to sell more PPV's.

Bellew has been on record in the past to sing Haye's praises, saying he's the second best Cruiserweight ever.

Opinions can certainly change mate.

Especially with negotiations they have to go through etc.

I think they're two completely different personalities totally who clash.
A lot of rivalries are faked for sure but I don't think this one is...

I'm pretty sure his mum is black.

Might be lying though...

This fight is happening because Bellew wouldn't get this type of money fighting anyone else. His mandatory fights certainly wouldn't be on PPV.

If you look back at all Bellews "big" fights, there's always some kind of needle between the fighters. Totally false.

Haye is taking this fight because he'd do almost anything for a few quid.

They are pro-boxers mate, with a limited length of time to earn as much as they can. What's your beef?

Isn't he worth around £20 million, I think he's covered for money!

Bellew is a wind up merchant, he deploys the same tactic for every fight, easy to do when you fight small timers.

Haye is different calibre to what he's fought previously and it's been surprising to see Haye stoop to Bellews level which make me think that he genuinely does not like the guy.

Like I said, just hope he smashes him around the ring :rofl:

I haven't got any beef. I just think these mismatches do more harm than good.

And the WWF rivalry is pathetic, only there to try and attract attention Which wouldn't normally be there on the quality of the fight alone.

Stooped to his level? Do you not remember the things Haye has said and done in the past?

He is skint, hence the comeback after the failed actor attempt

So a former world heavyweight champion stepping in against the current cruiserweight world champion isn't enough to get the juices flowing?

It's going to be explosive, forget all the hype, when the first bell rings...it's going off
For that alone it's worth a look, surely?

Personally I'd rather see them fight the best in their respective divisions

I'm going Haye in the 3rd. Won't be watching tho.

As opposed to most, I'm hoping for a Bellew ko. that'd shake it up a bit...

I was reading today that Chisora tips Bellew, after sparring with him in the build up.

Think I'll have a few beers Saturday then have a flutter just before it starts mate.
 
Hope Bellew Sparks him, but can't see it. Haye going to be too powerful and I think he will punch straight through his defence. Think Haye has shown himself for what he is in the build up and has been an embarrassment. He is vastly overrated and has very few decent scalps and is more known for ducking fights or barely turning up (Klitchko), but will still have too much for Tony who is wobbly at his own weight never mind in the heavyweights.
No way is it worthy of a PPV, punters are being milked by the promoters having to pay for tosh like this.
