Get it while you can I say.

Fried cod, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, bit of poncey lemon on the side.

Can see Bellew trying to get Haye losing the plot again but you can't tell yet if Haye is biting.
If he isn't and he goes into this taking his time prepared for a 12 rounder I'd say Haye by KO in Rounds 7- 10
If he's biting, feeling the pressure, already has one eye on his promoting career and he forgets that Bellew needs this himself or he will have nowhere to go then I can see Bellew snatching it somehow. 
I'm not sure how this (or the first fight!) has generated as much interest as it has. Take both fighters individually and they're struggling.
Haye... losing to a cruiserweight leaves him laughed at by the heavy division. He's not high enough ranked to force a title shot. He has nothing Joshua needs. He might have the household name to tempt the likes of Dillian Whyte into a fight but I doubt it. He poses a significant threat and has no value. 
Bellew... moved away from the big cruiserweight clashes to fight Haye. He's missed the cruiserweight tournament and now there's some real talent in the division about to unite the belts. Heavyweights are all too big for him. 
These guys need each other. With no where to go and no titles on the line, fighting at a weight that is only "Heavy" by name it a surprise that the hype is there. 
Where does the winner go? If Tyson Fury doesn't give them a payday they'll hang around in their respective divisions for what? Couple of fights? Then retire. 
Haye wins spectacular and he might just get himself back in the mix but time is running out and I don't think his heart is in it

There's only ooooonnne Tyson Fury!! 
I actually like Fury and Joshua. Don't think I support a fighter like a football team. 
I've even changed my mind during a fight before. I wanted Lemiuex to beat BJS but BJS put on such a display that who wouldn't want to see him move onto bigger things. 
People say some weird things about boxing.
There's loads of criticism for Eddie Hearn shows. I'm guessing it comes from people who don't see other shows. 
It's like in football where everyone wants to spot the foreign wonderkid who's 16 and better than boring old Messi/Ronaldo. Or the "gengenpressing"
In boxing there's little trendy bandwagon things to say isn't there? Anthony Joshua is a target for quite a lot of it. He either has no boxing ability or he's unbeatable. 
Thrilled that Fury is back. He's a troubled guy but for him to be 29 and missing out on this heavyweight drama would be a massive loss. Not just for him but also the shadow it casts over anyone who dreams of dominating the division. He'd haunt them. The man who freed us of the boring Klitschko brothers domination. 

I was really lucky to get an invite along today to the yard from John O’Hare to meet up with some of the 70s legends who were meeting up to celebrate Roy Macs 70th birthday and the annual Easter visit of Alan Hinton.
i thought I would take the opportunity to take my son along to meet some of the older players who when he is grown up will hopefully be given the status that that Steve Bloomer gets now, at least he will have a few photos to show that he really did meet the men who made us famous and for a brief moment in time perhaps the greatest football team in the world ?
when I got there I was a little embarrassed to find that I was the only member of the general public in attendance and felt a little bit out of place, the classic gatecrasher at the party, fortunately I know a number of them already and was instantly welcomed, I made sure that we sat just out side of the main group to allow them to chat to each other
Every one of them made time to come over and have a sit with us, I had of course taken some stuff to get signed as it was to good an opportunity to miss, after checking that they were ok with it they signed stuff and sat and talked and had photos with my son, he loved it and entered into some great conversation with them all, he was asking them about the odd haircuts that they had on the photos ( he is only eight) he told John Ohare that he should now be called john nohare which I’m not sure if john picked up on or not, he spoke to Alan about his white boots and got me showing Alan photos of his green boots, to a man they sat and chatted away talking about anything and everything, the numbers continue to dwindle, I felt like the man in the middle sharing stories of my recent meets with Colin Boulton, Colin Todd, Frank Wignall, john McGovern, and Peter Daniel, those in attendance (some with their good ladies) were John Ohare, Alan Hinton, Alan Durban, Roy McFarland, Roger Davies, Rod Thomas, Jim Walker and Henry newton, once again it struck me that the club should make more of a fuss of these guys whilst they are with us, let’s not wait twenty year before we finally get round to making up a song for them that we sing and the younger generation doesn’t have a clue what the names Todd, McFarland, Nish, Hector, Hennessy, Boulton, Newton, Gemmill, Davies, McFarland, O’Hare, McGovern, Hinton etc mean to Derby as a city.

Errrrm this is the food thread, don't need to know what Jose's mother gives you...

Why were fans booing Ortiz v Wilder. I thought it was great. Sure there were periods of nothing but what do you expect a shootout? 
Impressive performance by both. Massive well done to Wilder for the way he held on. I thought he was finished. 
He really has got power. Even in the long range sort of slaps he does where he's not generating the power from his core. Very awkward fighter. 
Joshua will be fitter and faster than Ortiz. Well, providing he's not 18st again! That should be even better. I'd say the styles of Joshua and Ortiz aren't massively different. Joshua better counter puncher. Other than that he's just a bigger, faster and stronger man. But then does he have the craft like Ortiz? Ortiz controlled the ring for every minute.
Good fun!
