And your predictions for tomorrow night, please...

Haye to win with k/o or stoppage, but there is always a possibility, with all the operations he's had, of his body breaking down again. Glad to see we have not been hearing his normal foul mouth ranting. Perhaps at the age of 37 he's finally grown up.

What's your prediction Dave?

I just don't want either of these likeable characters to get hurt. Bellew to win again.

As likeable as Haye.

Haye. He was well on top last time until he started dragging his leg around.

The bookies reckon Haye will win in somewhere between round 4 and round 7. I have had a bet on the fight to go the distance at odds of 11/5. Based on absolutely nothing except a gut feeling.

I've just seen that Jason Welborn beat the strongly-fancied Tommy Langford last night.

Looks like we'll have an early start to the main event.

More often than not someone who can box will beat someone who can't.

Good win from Bellew.  Haye looked in good shape, but is clearly finished.

Haye is clearly shot and should stop. Fine fighter in his prime.

Haye has been kidding the boxing 🥊 public for 10 years or more. At best massively overrated, but most of the time he’s been little more than a very limited self publicist. Hopefully he’ll quit now while his senses are still intact !

To be fair he was unified cruiserweight world champion and heavyweight world champ. That's not massively overrated. His mistake was his initial retirement at 30.

He was one of the all-time great cruisers. It's just a pity he'll be remembered for being a bit of a fraud at heavy.
