Haye V Bellew

Only just though.

Anyone with a morsel of ability would've ended that a lot sooner.

Got to agree with this Haye was messed up but Bellow was knackered.

I think Bellow said it in his interview that he had seccured his kids future and I believe that's what he set out to do when he called Haye out.

Great credit to Haye for not quitting.

Tbh Tony, imo it should've been stopped once Haye was injured, that's when it stopped being a boxing match, watching him struggle to walk at times was ridiculous and as Richy said Bellew didn't have the ability to finish him off.
 
Before the injury it was shaping up to be a decent fight. That spoilt it as a spectacle. Bellew then punched himself out a bit trying to finish it immediately. As I said previously the promoters and fighters sold the fight well. Both fighters have history of creating hype around their fights and certainly did that this time. That's their job surely?

I can't see Bellew dropping back down to Cruiserweight now. Why would he? He already achieved his dream of winning the belt and there is no massive fight for him (money wise) in that division and he won't have many more. The money for him is now in either a rematch with Haye or a top heavyweight. I saw in the interviews he was calling out Wilder and Hearn mentioned Parker so that probably shows their intentions.

Anyone with any sense wouldn't of fell for the hype before it, was never going to be a classic and the hugs at the end were sad!

Kerrrrchinnnnng indeed, 100/1 for a Bellew stoppage in the 11th had me tempted enough to part with £1 of my hard earned.
But as a contest, it was hard to watch once Hayes leg stopped working. Just glad the stoppage did eventually come, for obvious reasons 👍🏻

Wasn't a title fight.
 
Forgot it was on and when it turned it on, it was the start of round six. Typical, how the hell Haye got through to round 11 I don't know. Think Haye would of won if his ankle had not gone. But massive credit to Bellew.
 
The golfing equivalent would be a scratch golfer with a bag full of broken clubs and only a 7 iron to his name, getting beaten by a 9 handicapper on the 17th green.

Incredible bravery from haye, he was taking control of the fight before his injury, after which it was very hard to watch. Felt sorry for the guy, literally had the legs cut from under him but showed great heart.

Good luck to bellew, showed great courage stepping up to fight haye and seems a nice guy, but think he will get found out against a fully fit heavyweight.

..
Shouldnt any cruiserweight tho ? its a big step up to me Haye was at his best when he was lean & fast , oik he was in great condition but to me he was to heavy from what he was use to .. didnt consider an injury but i did think Haye would struggle if it went late ..

So to summarise, a guy with one hand beat a guy on one leg and the bookies cleaned up.

You're right , Haye was down and got 3 counts in round 6. It use to be 3 knock downs in the same round and it was all over.
You'll be at least 3 down next Sunday in our heavy weight bout :rofl:
