Tony Bellew v BJ Flores

Post by Fitzy901 »

I have watched about thirty seconds of Bj fight and I believe he has NO chance whatsoever.

Does anyone disagree with me?

Eddie also mentioned that Haye will be at the fight and may even be doing punditry for Sky I believe? I would like to see Bellew box Haye before he faces in mandatory against Bredis.

I would rather see box Haye then Breidis but a lot of people would disagree no doubt. I think for his bank balance it makes sense and it is a way back onto Sky for Mr Haye.

I suspect people biases may be at play here.
Not that I am innocent of such things, I'm convinced Haye destroys Bellend

Haye smashes Bellew to bits at any point in his lifetime imo. Just waaaaay better, in every aspect.

Bellew defending his "world title" ( strap ) against Flores is a pretty rubbish fight for that level. It's actually worse than the match up where he won the vacant belt, which was a pretty low standard for a title fight.

Agreed. He'd walk right through him.

Haye looked shite in his last 2 fights, out way too long and was very slow, he's shot to pieces I reckon. Punchers chance.

Bellew would be hurt like never before. But also get paid like never before and he knows that.

I just still think thats good enough for haye to deal with bellew. I think theyre on complete different levels although it would be more interesting if it was at cruiser.

I still think Haye knocks Bellew out, I like Bellew but there was nothing in his last performance to suggest he can beat Haye imo.

That's a pretty bold statement considering he didn't get hit once in either fight and beat his opponents unconscious without even breaking a sweat.

Gjerjag was knocked unconscious, yet finished the fight standing and was smiling almost immediately after?

I can't see Haye making cruiser again. Obviously anything above cruiser is heavy but maybe they could agree to a catch weight?

I think you're being pedantic; Gjerjag was stopped on his feet during the 10 count after struggling to get off the canvas and not being in any condition to continue. Either the way point stands - it's a bold statement to make when when haye won both fights with such ease, without being tested at all.

As I said before those 2 opponents were worthy Hall of famers, especially chosen, for their lack of ability to make Haye look good and high ranking. Anybody could see in the first 30 seconds of both fights Haye was slow cumbersome and when he threw combinations he looked shite, over the hill and shot, soon as he gets in with Joshua, he will melt into oblivion with another 15 million quid in the bank.

Bellew needs a escape plan. He's after big money fight and the Briedis mandatory is a banana skin he could do without.

I see Bellew beating Flores and if the WBC enforce the mandatory losing his title to Briedis. He's already had a big payday against Clev. He needs to give up a lot of weight if he wants one against Haye.
Expect the Sky machine to turn Lebedev into a pound for pound superstar similar to how they did with Linares and push for a unification. He needs a way out of the Briedis fight. Huge risk little reward.
