It won't last long Cyc. Seriously wondering if it will be worth paying for to watch. Bell-end is a head case trying to convince himself he can beat Haye.
 
Amazing stuff. Bellew looked well on the bloated side but only came in at 15.3 while Haye looked a chiseled masterpiece at 16.9. But even with the better body and serious weight advantage, Haye seemed a bit rattled in the face off. He sort of half stepped back and started posing while Bellew stood his ground and continued with the banter. Haye should belt Bellew but it was a strange weigh in.

Paul Malignaggi looks as though he may have lost it against Sam Eggington too. After standing face to face for a minute or so, Malignaggi side stepped Eggington and with back to the crowd, gave Eggington a spray. The young man didn't look at all worried. The body language of a number of fighters was really interesting. I don't know how good Eggington is, but for me, it's now a fight I'm looking forward to.
 
I won't be able to watch this as our LNB (?) got struck by lightning. My wife is in England and will bring a replacement back with her, but not in time for the fight. I told her not to worry as it will be all over in 5 mins.

Having said that I gather Haye now wants to inflict as much pain as possible for as long as possible. It will be a sad day for boxing if Bell-end wins this.
 
It's hard to say Ron. The card sort of looks a bit short on quality. OHara Davies v Derry Mathews for a WBC second rate Super-Lightweight belt looks to have a bit of spite in it. As does the Sam Eggington v Pauli Malignaggi bout. But Haye and Bellew is what this show is all about. The REAL fight of the weekend is in the USA where what those on the far side of the Atlantic say is the clash of the best two welterweights on the planet, WBA champ Keith Thurman v WBC champ Danny Garcia. This is one hell of a bout. Of course those in the UK are strong on IBF champion Kell Brook. I don't suppose we can leave WBO champ Manny Pacquiao out of the mix. How blessed are we to have four champions like those guys?

What do you expect Bellew to do? Convince himself that he can't win? . Dearie dearie me

It's touch and go whether I'll be able to watch this one. My son has just re-aligned my daughter's French dish to get Sky but we are now having trouble ordering the fight.
