Bellew vs Haye and GGG vs Vanes Martirosyan

in #boxing6 years ago

Two decent boxing matches on tonight, one is probably already in progress. Totally forgot about them and will probably catch the replay tomorrow.

Last time Bellew faced Haye, Bellew won by TKO whilst Haye ruptured his Achilles heel and was against the ropes for the final rounds. He's done well to get back into the ring, they must have used stem cell therapy or something to get him back to fighting mode.

This is taken from Wikipedia

An Achilles' heel is a weakness in spite of overall strength, which can lead to downfall. While the mythological origin refers to a physical vulnerability, idiomatic references to other attributes or qualities that can lead to downfall are common.

If anyone has ever suffered a training injury, you will know that however well you have healed you still have the doubts in the back of your mind about weakness, sustaining or repeating the same injury. Haye is going to have to overcome serious mental blocks to be victorious in this fight.

Originally penned to fight was a rematch between GGG and Canelo but Canelo failed a drug test from suspected tainted meat. The replacement and title contender is now Vanes who has a record of 36 wins, 3 losses and 1 draw. The god of war GGG who has never been knocked down is unlikely to have any trouble here, still it will be an interesting fight. In the fight game anything can happen, if you underestimate your opponent and don't prepare, prepare to fail. I'm talking in general as I doubt GGG would ever be unprepared :)

Odds seem stacked in GGG's favour as expected
