    Remember those guys picking Haye over AJ? "Too fast" , "too powerful". What would AJ have done with Bellew tonight? Bellew would have left on a stretcher in 4 rounds.

    If Haye throws a punch and misses, Bellew did his job. Haye was throwing every one of those punches with fight ending intentions. Bellew did a great job defending. Supposedly Haye was gonna absolutely destroy him very early. That didn't happen. Just like I predicted mid rounds Haye was gonna break down.

    I had a problem with the Charles Martin Glazkov stoppage. That was caused because Martin's fatass stepped on Glazkov's foot and twisted his leg very badly. I don't even think a punch landed when Glazkov was hurt. It is completely different when you cause your opponent to miss and they hurt themselves.

    Haye wins if he doesn't get injured. He was shocking first 3 rounds, so bloody wild. I don't think Bellew will fancy it again.

    Joshua just saw a huge and easy payday go down the drain.

    Haye was embarrassing in the first three rounds. Swinging wildly like a pub fighter and missing.

    Haye needs to pack it in and retire

    Bellew talking about retirement, basically doesn't want to get KTFO, like he was on the way to doing before being gifted an injury. He fought a one legged unconditioned Haye who looked like he hadn't trained, and was injured - BEFORE the fight.
    Haye didn't pull out because too much money was riding on it, and because of the Fury issues.

    Let's face it, Haye is finished, his body has suffered too many injuries with the shoulder now the ankle, and the fact he's not training properly etc.

    Seeing the fight was a sad thing, Bellew struggled to put down a one-legged fighter who had nothing left after the injury, and he knows if he fights a legitimate in-shape fighter like Whyte or any top-ten HW, he'll come up short.

    Haye was starting to win then messed up his ankle, it'll be interesting to see what the X-ray results show, he couldn't put any weight on it and was fighting on pure adrenaline. I think it's either the Achilles or a grade 2-3 ligament tear, which will take MONTHS to recover from.

    Yes these are all correct. Haye was going to get to an unimpressive late victory, probably by KO, bar the injury.

    I had a gut feeling something was going to happen. He got too wild with those Hayemakers and it aggravated an injury he might have had under control... He choked just like I suspected..

    Haye lost and wants rematch, gotta keep the money coming in.......

    Mr Bellew lose the weight, heavyweight is not where you should be, however you beat Haye, so deserve the plaudits, you beat the man in front of you, and as the poll on this forum showed the majority did not think you would win, in fact most predicting your KO in very early rounds.

    Enjoy your moment Mr Bellew.

    On that showing tonight I bet Joshua, Hearn and a few others are gutted they never accepted the Haye challenge.

    Can you imagine what Joshua would have done to Haye tonight.

    Haye is doing a Tyson in showing bravery in a fight he lost but he is also doing a Tyson begging for a rematch lol. Haye is done, the inactivity shows he knew he only had a few fights left. Anyone not giving Haye respect after that is a fool to be honest.

    You are right... No need for that fight. Bellew needs to stay in CW. HW are mega HW now. It is a historic fight so he should be content :)

    I had it 2-2 after 4. Haye was very wild in the first few rounds.

    I seriously was contemplating betting big on haye for this fight as well, I would have had a nervous brake down if i did now.

    Fully mind blown right now, I gave tony a chance but not the way this fight played out, The way haye missed and fell looked clubmys was reminiscent of ronda rousey, literally every thing started to go wrong, epic karma, **** makes me want to become a better person LMAO
