Episode 2 set for 17th December, for anyone who might be interested. Personally, I think I'll give it a swerve after what happened last time, at least from a betting point of view. Haye obviously can't be relied upon to go into the fight fully fit, and the BBBC can't be relied on to make sure that it is legitimate contest. THe severity of a serious achilles injury leaves too many quetion marks for me. At least it will be a distraction from the usual Christmas rogmarole.

Haye in the first fight was my biggest loss in the last 5 years i think
 I do think he will knock him out easily if not injured , but as you say , if he is injured he will still go through with it for the payday like last time. So i'm not keen to get involved again . And also it is an absolute nothing of a fight in the overall scheme of things. |
|
By:
Why would he knock him out easy? He had 6 rounds until his ankle went and he didn't look like Bellew was about to get blasted.
|
|
By:
AR , he began the fight injured.
Could not put weight on the leg in order to generate any power . Look how he was moving right from the start. |
|
By:
He won't admit that publically though because it paints him as totally desperate for the money over actually winning at boxing.
|
|
By:
tbh I think he thought he would KO bellew on 1 leg
|
|
By:
Haye will win this time, he had the injury going into the first fight was blatant, Bellew lucky he wasn't knocked out. This will carve a route to the AJ fight

Haye's timing was way off even before the injury, you couldn't trust him again. Greedy Sky and Eddie have made this PPV, seriously how can they justify this, Sky really screw the boxing fan.

Bellew at 3.05 is an unbelievable price. He is in Haye's head.

Just seen The Gloves are Off on Sky.If they were trying to sell The Fight they Failed miserably......WTF was that?

i saw about ten mins. Thought Bellew was winning the mind games. Haye looks to be seething inside but doesn't want to lose his rag

How anyone thinks this shouldn't be on PPV is mindblowing.
The first fight was exciting and went exactly how Bellew had predicted. Haye may be slightly improved physically but he is another year older. He would be dangerous in the early rounds even when hes 60 years old but Bellew moved very well in the first fight and raised his arm at the end of the 3rd/4th cos he knew he had already won. Haye should win early rounds and then tire with Bellew dominating the 2nd half of the fight. Haye would need to catch Bellew clean early on to stop him. The prices are based on hype and the Haye of 6-8 years+ ago. Bellew has always been unestimated and has only fought at his natural weight (Cruiserweight) at the tail end of his career. Easy to bet Bellew at 2/1 and maybe have a quarter of the stake at 7/2 stoppage - has to be decent chance Hayes body wont hold up for 12 rounds. |

| Topic/replies: 43,847 | Blogger: tobermory's blog So Haye ripped his bicep when he grabbed a banister to stop himself falling down the stairs Confused He gets the sort of injuries that would happen to a little old lady ffs He gets the type of injuries that steroid users get and has the vascularity on his shoulders,collarbone and chest to match. I would've demanded a CIR test with a big payoff if failed before taking the fight originally if I was Bellew but hey ho. I'm happy to pay for the fight interesting whatever happens. |

Has Haye pulled out with injury yet?
|

By:
think the value here is Haye to win on points... as big as 5/1
if haye is fit he wins.....but its no cert he will get the stoppage.. as others have stated his price is based on the fighter he was 8 years ago. double double that with Rodruguez to beat Paul Butler by KO on the undercard.. available at 11/10 Butler didn't even make weight for the fight and so cant win the title and he is against a very tough Puerto Rican with serious KO potential |
|
By:
Crazy stuff Butler not making weight. With a potential world super series position going to the winner it is incredible.
What is going on Butler and Quigg - both acknowledged as gym rats and ultimate pro's failing weight of late! |
|
By:
Alot of modern fighters trying to fight too light imo.
|
|
By:
Did anyone see Haye's manager, Adam Morales at the press conference ?
Uber nerd trying to make macho man speeches, people falling about laughing. Shame if Haye retires as Moralee could be one of boxing's great comedy characters. |

This is never a PPV fight. |
|
By:
Ok mate. You stick to watching hours of football every week.
Legit Cruiserweight champ with big mouth/following and is always exciting to watch - gets put down regular and puts others down regular VERSUS One of the best cruiserweights ever who is always exciting to watch and who is recognised by members of the public with no interest in boxing. + First fight sold out O2 instantly, was cracking fight with superb atomosphere and did good numbers on PPV. The rematch will be watched by at least as many, probably more. |

You're the one who sounds like his view on sport comes straight from a Sky Sports News mouthpiece. Past it ex Cruiserweight Champion who has only fought 13 rounds since since he retired through injury 6 years ago V a Cruiserweight who isn't in the top five at his own weight so is fighting at the wrong weight. who is always exciting to watch and who is recognised by members of the public with no interest in boxing. big mouth/following and is always exciting to watch If that's your reasons for a fight being PPV then Haye v Audley Harrison no doubt is one of your favourite fights. |
|
By:
Yes. Bellew always been fat, useless bum who is not in top 5 in cruisers.
|
|
By:
I personally think Bellew would beat Parker and think he gives Fury nightmares despite conceeding lumps of weight.
|

By:
Does anybody have any opinions on Cox vs Ryder? Personally think Cox looks overpriced in this one 2.48 now. Not to bad IMO I'd have it closer to evens the pair.
|
|
By:
Another cracking fight on a very good undercard.
I'm going to sit back and enjoy the war. Your probably right Cox maybe a bit overpriced but his reputation in the trade goes way beyond what he has achieved in the ring. Whereas Ryder is basic and never been overhyped but is a very solid performer and looks to have improved of late. |
|
By:
I think there is a reason for the hype. Cox has had some issues throughout his career.(Going to prison/Promoter issues) There definitely is some serious talent there at this type of level IMO. As you say though until he does it there are some questions to answer.
I have a couple of friends who are close with him. He grew up down the road from me. Heard he's been training in a camp in Romania coming into this one. One things for sure he wont be going down without a fight. I hope he does it, He's stuck with it through hard times which can be difficult. More importantly I hope its a good fight. For me though 2.48 is rather big for Cox. |
