West Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Haye is a proud man. He won't want his career to end with a double defeat to Tony Bellew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt either of them really care about the fight/result, Just another million in the bank in time for christmas Bellew wasting his time if he is serious about heavyweight boxing. He should havw had a fight with ward next. Forget haye he is finished. Once haye loses again he will probably go for someone like dylan whyte before hanging up his gloves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt either of them really care about the fight/result, Just another million in the bank in time for christmas Agree. This is the "biggest" fight that either of them can expect. With the rise of people like AJ in the heavyweight division it makes an absolute mockery over the fuss drawn up about these pair. Saying that, I was one of those who bought the fight to watch Haye will have to respect Bellew more this time but if he avoids an injury I'd expect him to be able to get past him for the win. Cue the SkySports w*nkfest, social media bashing and ridiculous press conferences. Cant stand Bellew, can't stand Hearn and i think Haye can eb quite entertaining. Last big payday for both.

coda Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I can't see people believing the animosity between Haye and Bellew this time. Winner should fight Rio Ferdinand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Joseph Parker vs Hughie Fury for the WBO(?) Heavyweight belt is an interesting one this weekend. Whilst Parker has fought the vastly superior opponents, Hughie has a really good skill set- quick hands, good punch variety and excellent feet. He is a better than Tyson in terms of technical skills and has a better right hand, he can throw it a lot straighter than Tyson. He doesn't have a great deal of power mind, Parker is the more powerful and explosive of the two but Parker likes to fight up close in the pocket and let explosive combinations go, Hughie will box and move and keep it at range, Parker often negates his own range so I can see Hughie having the style to win the fight. The problem with backing Hughie is that he has so many unanswered questions such as whether he can take a good shot... There's also Jorge Linares vs Luke Campbell, a fight I expect Linares to win. So overall a decent weekend coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linares must absolutely love Matchroom, he beats their fighters and they make him out to be P4P #1 to try and save face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 An able bodied Haye , beats Bellew easily . How Bellew could seek acclaim for, what was for me , a hollow victory in their first fight , was a joke . He comes across,as the Scousers like to say ,as a right " Bute " . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Is this bellew pretty much admitting he's got nowhere to go as a heavyweight so just taking the money fight again? Not sure of he's been turning fights down or if he's struggling to get one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linares is a very classy boxer but no where near a pound for pound top 10 list, also has a terrible chin. Campbell might actually have a good shot of winning, he is naturally much bigger than Linares. Edited September 22, 2017 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ward retires. Quite surprising as he probably could have had a few more fights. Think he knew secretly at heavyweight he would get beat and beat bad. Great boxer but for me not pound for pound best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Crolla was all that , as was proved in the 2nd fight with Linares . A Campbell win will ,in no way , be such a shock as when Honeyghan beat Curry .

AVFCDAN Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This interview with Eddie Hearn is highly recommended, I have to admit to slagging him off quite a lot in the past but this is great interview and very honest on his part to be fair. He discusses his upbringing, current fights such as the Mayweather v McGregor fight, a bit on Joshua and even a very honest discussion on PPV, hes gone up in my estimation to be fair although the bar was pretty low.

If you watch the IFL TV channel on YouTube there are a number of videos with Eddie Hearn. Like him or loathe him, this guy is a very good businessman.

leemond2008 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 It's laughable that they think this card has been worth anywhere near £15 the sport is getting into a right mess with these PPV's and is just going to drive the serious fans underground to illegal streams.

LakotaDakota Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Fury trying the family approach of continually circling & slapping/jabbing. Just about working so far but Parker getting back into it. Probably about even after 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
