We all understand that David Haye is the favourite in this fight. People know nothing about Mark de Mori. He’s not young (33) but has nice stats – 30 wins in 33 fights and just one defeat. He got 26 wins by KO. But these are just numbers. We can see that de Mori had no serious fights. Just three 12-round fights in all. His rating is low, but now he got a chance of a big fight. His record looks better than Haye’s, but everybody knows Haye and nobody knows de Mori.
I think Haye is looking for money. But he will not ask for Russian citizenship, even in such crazy times. He retired brilliantly with a nice win over Dereck Chisora. Now he believes that he can defeat Tyson Fury. Maybe, Fury is the reason Haye wants to return. British vs. British fights are extremely popular in England. The fight between Froch-Groves proved that. Many people expected Haye-Makkarinelli to fight. But Haye returned to get Tyson Fury. Before that, he has to warm up.
It’s clear that Haye will defeat de Mori with KO. He surely can win fast. But does he need that? He wants to move a lot and to remember everything he missed this year. This is Haye! He wants to lord it over. So I expect a KO in the middle of a fight. We can surely bet on Haye’s win, but the odds are too low. But also, we can go for Haye’s win in 4-6 rounds.
