Haye was injured from the first bell. Never seen him falling in and swinging wildly like that ever. He knew it was his only chance Bellew camp knew 100% for the off he was injured. Just had to bide his time. Until his leg actually went Haye was winning so can't give him (bellew) any credit at all I'm sorry. This was also engineered. Did you hear Bellew say 'we spoke before the fight and not for 16 weeks' This was planned as grudge match and due to big money inovolved Haye had to fight (as he prob is skint) It's another Haye con job nearly as bad as Fruadleys.
Haye was injured from the first bell. Never seen him falling in and swinging wildly like that ever. He knew it was his only chance. Haye was not injured from the first bell. He often fights like that. He did go for the KO- but he usually does when he is against an over matched opponent. Bellew camp knew 100% for the off he was injured. Just had to bide his time. A wild conspiracy theory. Evidence? Until his leg actually went Haye was winning so can't give him (bellew) any credit at all I'm sorry. Most people had the fight even after 4 rounds, and some had Bellew winning after 5 rounds. Bellew was genuinely in the fight. In a rematch with a Haye with no injury I would favour Bellew to win the decision. It's another Haye con job nearly as bad as Fruadleys. A Farce was a con job. He felt the power and dived to the floor like a puddy cat- his performance against haye and in other early KO losses was a disgrace. This a genuine fight between two men who wanted to win and laid it on the line
Bellew did know he was injured before the fight, in his interview with IFL after the fight he said someone from Haye's team had leaked them the information.
course he was injured - why do you think he was in germany seeing a specialist? i do think haye maybe underestimated bellew though and didnt train hard enough too
Haye didn't look right from the opening bell but he probably thought all he had to do was land a big punch and that was it. but he wasn't able to get Tony out of there, so Tony deserves credit for that. He doesn't deserve credit for beating a prime uninjuired haye though, I'd agree with that. Fact is Bellew did what he said he would, he acknowledged the Haye was no longer the figher he was and would break down later in the fight, he said he would capitalise on that and he did, as the naturally smaller man. Its a bitter pill for fans but to give Bellew no credit at all for that is silly.
Yea thinking about you are right Bellew did say that Haye was a shot fighter. Bellew mentioned the Germany trips and the fight was rumoured to be cancelled for Achilles injury so he was injured form the start and bellew knew it Only think I learnt was haye is tough as hell and has a good jaw. At no point did bellew hurt him. When he was knocked over it was balance issue not hurtful punches
Bellew moved up in weight with no warm up fights, broke his hand during the first few rounds and went into the fight with a damaged knee.
There's no evidence that David Haye's been right since 2012 or 2013, so it's not fair to take anything away from Tony Bellew. Bellew made it clear that Haye's body is wrecked, he said it before the fight, and he was proven right. This was the same Haye who we saw face De Mori and Garbage. Based on those fights, some of you mugs was saying Haye was a contender and a threat to the heavyweight big guns. Now, the REALITY has finally smacked you all in the face, you're feeling so hurt about it you're taking it out on Bellew.
It doesn't matter what you had, or people you know. The judges had haye up 4-1 after 5 rounds. Anyone with half a brain scored the fight 5 rounds 4-1 to haye, very easy rounds to score in my opinion. The professionals agree with me, as all 3 judges scored the fight 96-93.
He was injured, but after all the build up and given the Klitchsko toe fiasco and Fury pull outs there was no way he was going to pull out of the fight.
Yes he had little choice after being labelled the excuse maker, quitter and the whole toe-gate episode, he had to prove through force that it wasn't the case.
I must have half a brain then, cos I had... 1) 10-9 Bellew 2) 10-9 Bellew 3) 10-9 Haye 4) 10-9 Haye 5) 10-9 Bellew 6) 10-8 Bellew 7) 10-9 Bellew 8) 10-9 Bellew 9) 10-9 Bellew 10) 10-9 Bellew 11) TKO Where are these 'official' scorecards cos I can't find a link?
