[Guest Col city fan]

As I suspected, I'm afraid boxing is going to the dogs. Lots of dodgy decisions, now Haye v Bellew again.

Its all money, money, money.

Im glad I was brought up with many years of proper fights.

[AjcW]

On box office and on a SUNDAY! Good luck making any money out of that!

Luis Ortiz fails a drugs test. Looks like his fight with Wilder is off.

 

In other words Oscar didn't fancy it.

Haye has a ruined body.

With no Achilles Heel - Haye I still think has the power to Knock Bellow out.

[Nick]

Haye did well to stay in the fight as long as he did - nobody can fight with that kind of an injury.

So do I. 

It was such a weird fight. Even though Haye only had one foot, Bellew still didn't have the strength to knock him out. He kept swinging and tiring himself out and the fight ended in a farcical way.

I'm convinced Haye could knock Bellew out, but having had an Achilles injury like Haye had, I'd be dubious about betting on him in case the same injury flared up again.

I sometimes think Haye is too 'big' for his frame to cope with. That sounds weird, but what I mean is that a leaner and faster Haye, I think, wouldn't sustain as many injuries as he does. It's almost like his frame can't take the weight that's draped over it.

Manu Tulangi syndrome!

[Durnerz]

I predict Haye retires on his stool then retires from boxing.

[Izzy]

The cynic in me says Haye conveniently beats Bellew and therefore just happens to set up another big money spinning third fight decider.

I'm not even sure either of them particularly like boxing anymore and are just a pair of money grabbing bastards really...

Good comeback fight for Ohara Davies. He's a big lad and a big puncher for a light welterweight.

Referee should have stopped it before the last knockdown. 

 

Did he mention he lost his last fight due to "reasons behind the scenes"  

[STEVIE B]

Just booked tickets to go to York Hall, November 25th. Always wanted to go. Hoping to get to West Ham the night before to make it a top weekend

Agree it got uncomfortable to watch at times.

I take everything he says with a pinch of salt but this latest statement is sad for the sport.

 

AJ vs Fury would have been incredible.

He can’t comeback he tried to come off his medication while in the BJS and Hughie Fury training camps and he almost had a serious manic episode 

 

he knows now he can never come off those medications 

 

bipolar affective Disorder Is not something you can just shake off .... 

[Sly]

Ultimately, we’ll never know who’s the better fighter.

 

I say AJ but we’ll never get a definate answer.

[SheppyFox]

AJ vs Fury would not have been incredible! Fury is a hopeless oaf ffs if he wasn’t built like an overgrown Neanderthal he wouldn’t have gotten out of the pub Car Parks or at best amateurs, horrid boxer! 

[EastAnglianFox]

Don't really want either of these to lose.

 

Both absolute class acts and puts to shame the embarrassing staged fake hate build ups we get used to seeing.

Yep...

 

im also actually going to pay for a eubabk fight for the first time tonight as it's cheap and a potential match against groves does tickle my fancy. iPad tv combo it is.

Looking forward to watching Eggington again now. Always enjoy his fights. Still only 23 and a big future ahead of him I hope...

He has a granite chin but he needs it with his defence.

Yeah his defence is pretty ropey but I kinda like his unauthadox style. And his face marks up so easy. Even when he wins he still looks like he’s had the shit kicked out of him..
