Tony Bellew: If David Haye wants to pull out of our fight, I’ll face Joseph Parker

[asdfjkl]

But he did look good against two leg version so he probably just didn't want to beat him up too hard, to get another big payday.

No he didn’t look good. He looked better at cruiser. He went at one leg haye as hard as he could. Painful watching a one legged man against a guy who was over weight and couldn’t attack

I'm with ya Ozzy, it was hard to watch alright. And while I was cringing watching it, in the back of my mind I knew Bellew would go on about his "win" add infinitum afterwards, which added to the cringe factor

Oké, then I'll ask you, could you show me any moment at all, in the first 5 rounds, where he looked any good against fat cruiserweight Tony Bellew?
Just a few seconds of any of these rounds, that's all I'm asking

[funso banjo baby]

silly rematch

don't watch

You’ve ruined the thread asjklnhkjklukkhgl

Sorry mate I shouldn’t reply to him really but have a knack of dragging myself into these things

Dw.. im not mad.

Well I had Haye up after five rounds asdklgfdf so he must of been doing something right.

What was your scorecard after 5 rounds?

After 5, I struggled to give Bellew a round. I may have given him a sympathy round.

Dan Rafael is reporting that Haye has pulled out.

[Oiky]

Haye is haggered that's why he's pulled out

Can't take a camp anymore

Bellew wouldlve beaten him again cos he'd be in a sorry state again

[Ruthless-RKO]

Yeh ESPN reported it first.. Surprising as Sky Sports haven't

Could Eddie have a replacement lined up and is just finalising the deal for the replacement?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Bellew should still fight IMO on that date.. Maybe not PPV.. depending on who he can fight.

[brian13]

Matchroom should knock a deal with Parker for a fight in late January or February. That would make the most sense.

Too right mate
Cracking matchup.

[Oiky]

Definitely should look into fighting parker

[ElJefe]

Even if Haye gets through a camp and into the ring with Bellew next year, does anyone trust his body to hold up through a gruelling fight? Was actually looking forward to the rematch, but if the Parker fight could be made I think I'd rather see that now. Can't be arsed waiting for Haye.

[rhino222]

I'd love to see how Tony is going weight-wise. Without the demands of making cruiser some guys blow out.
As for fighting Parker instead, I'd actually love to see that fight. They are both around the same size.

noooo..parker is over a stone heavier and much broader.

Then how comes nobody is able to even show one small moment in any of those rounds where he looked any good? I can easely do it with Bellew during that fight.

Thing is, if he is fit, and got any sense of timing etc, then it wouldn’t be a gruelling fight. Any fight with Bellew is only made gruelling because of injury.

Haye should just turn it in. They probably both should really. Bellew doesn’t seem particularly hungry anymore. Only wants to fight a washed up Haye, turning down everyone else who has thrown their hat in to the ring etc
Any “interim” opponent will tell us exactly what Tony wants from his last few fights. You watch him turn down Whyte, Parker and co and end up fighting another Flores level fighter

This is it.. He's looking for a fight where he will earn big money. He isn't earning over a mil on regular sky sports. Having an interim bout will likely get him around £500k unless Hearn can sort him out.. or depending on how much they offer his opponent.

Who did you have winning after 5 rounds then and what score?

I don't know any more, I think 5-0 for Bellew, but I'll check it again:

1: Bellew, easely
2: Haye, close
3: Bellew, close
4: Haye, close
5: Bellew, close

I'd have to admit, it's closer as I had in mind, but Bellew still winning, quite easely.
