You may chin him, but he's definitely gonna ball you.

Haye must hit harder than I thought!

Despite all the comments I actually think this is a good fight for Bellew and a good one for Ward. It's a nice last one before retirement for BOTH fighters.

Here's why..

- It would make PPV in the UK following Bellew's recent exposure wins against Haye, so its way more money than against Usyk v Gassiev. Parker's not a champ anymore so Ward or Bellew don't have him to try and cherry pick.

- It's relatively low risk from a health point of view in comparison to a heavyweight fight or a fight against the WBSS winner

- If Bellew loses it'll be on points and against a P4P hall of famer and all plaudits go to how good Ward is.

- For Ward, he probably sees Bellew as a less dangerous and more lucrative option to fight at Cruiser / Heavy. And it's a fight he'd be confident winning.

- Bellew's style could cause Ward a few issues if he fights as a counter puncher and uses range and a good jab. He also fancies himself to have the power to KO Ward.


All in all it's a perfect fight for both and I give Bellew more chance than most here to upset the bookies again.

Ward will make a clown out of Bellew. Can't wait to see this.

I can't get into this fight, I would watch if it was made but at the same time I wouldn't want to see it

If he's the best cruiser why not fight the winner of the final?

Better boxer than Ward? It's so hard to like this guy.
