    I’m not taking anything away from Bellews performance here, he’s does deserve all the credits but haye was shot, injured and whilst mildly dangerous could not generate any power. He’s stance from the first round showed this.

    He folded like a wet paper bag because his legs couldn’t support themselves.

    Haye took another payday whilst not 100% fit.

    Well done Tony Bellew.

    Agreed 100% David Hayes boxing career was over when he chased the celebrity status

    It was a bit sad to watch that

    I went to the first fight as a Bellew fan and watched this one from home backing him as well but back in his day Haye was my guy

    I just can’t believe he went out and tried to throw bombs at him early again like he learned nothing from the first fight.

    Congrats to the Bomber though, bring on Wilder!

    Aye, Comgrats to the Bomber, it fell
    Nicely for him.

    Hopefully Haye won't box again, he doesn't need to announce any sort of retirement, anyone (and i mean anyone) can see that he just can't do it anymore.

    First fight .... Haye had no leg ..... second fight .... Haye is shot to bits.....

    No ..... STYLES MAKE FIGHTS..... Bellew has been saying he'd beat Haye for years. His gameplan was SPOT ON.

    "I don't know how old he was, but he got his azz whooped"

    Haye is a relic of the past. He's 37 years old and it's pretty safe to say he's done as a contender.

    Bellew did a great job. He looked sharp and he's got handspeed, even at Heavyweight. He did get hit with some good shots and he returned the favor. Haye fought like a brawler and his reflexes are gone. Let's see what Bellew can do with real heavyweights, instead of an over-the-hill shot fighter.

    This is what happens when you are broke because you enter into business with middle eastern investors, and when you get divorce raped by the mother of your kid.

    He is in truth only back boxing because he can’t find another way of making a pound note. Now everyone knows he is completely shot, that is going to be harder too.

    First fight he wasn't outclassed, second fight showed he shouldn't be fighting anymore...Class doesn't come in to it

    That's the nail in the coffin. The fight where we learn hate is well and truly shot.

    I think the two comeback fights you couldn't read much into.

    Even the first bellew fight didn't tell us that much, he was a stone heavier than normal, probably didn't train that hard as he believed he would just walk through belles, plus the injury etc and the fact it was fairly even fight for the first 5-6 rounds.

    So we needed the rematch to really see what he had left, new coach, trained hard, a lot lighter, you could tell he was a bit faster in the first two rounds..

    But ultimately he turned out to be washed up for many reasons.

    Just hope he holds his hands up and admit that time has caught up with him and he is no longer good enough, retire with some dignity.

    He could of course, drag it out for a couple more years, have a few smaller pay days.
