    Usually agree with you Johner but not this time - Haye wins one way or another minus the injury.

    Bellew was blowing out of his arse after the sixth!

    Do you not think Haye's makeup was built for an eary KO though Pyro? I think Bellew punched himself out a bit in rounds 6/7 but he has proven he can go 12 before.

    Eddie Hearn looks devastated that he didn't get more than 1 question.

    Cos we keep getting peddled this **** or the likes of Wilder or Joshua fighting tomato cans instead of the best fighting each other. As long as fights like this make money, we'll continue to get crap like this. I mean, Bellew probably makes more money with this crap and rematches than if he fought someone like Usyk or Briedis.

    The best rarely fight each other in boxing because they can more or less pick and choose the majority of the time.

    It's not because of casual boxing fans it's a fundamental flaw in boxing that you can have 3 or 4 major world champions in each division without them ever fighting each other.

    Every sport has casual fans and they all need them to survive because the "hard-core fans" are not enough to put a show on tv for.

    Yeah Haye actually started to grow into the fight after the early wildness escaped him. Would have fancied him...but that's sport, sh*t happens. Amazing how Bellew lost all sense of a plan after being disciplined and intelligent early on. Obviously instinct is to go straight for the kill, but surely after a while you realise there's a better way to take him out. He actually took some seriously stupid risks. He won in the end but his tactics after the injury were as bizarre as anything else in the fight.

    Oh 100% and he was pretty shit, timing all over the shop when Bellew wasn't giving any opportunities. Agree that TB punched himself out but worst case scenario, Haye could have limped to a rubbish points win imo.

    Just seen footage of haye leaving the arena, even on a gammy leg he walked out quicker than he walked in.

    Does anyone actually think this fight was good??? Really???

    Yes, I've got lads on a whatsapp group talking about "great heart" plus a good portion of the inebriated souls in the crowd cheered when a rematch was mooted. . .

    I had it 3-2 Haye and he was coming into the fight but I think he would have gassed myself. He came in heavier than normal, he genuinely believed this fight wasn't going more than a couple of rounds(like most people).

    I find that a pretty ridiculous notion, Haye was winning it easily. Bellew hardly threw a punch until the injury.

    How was he going to beat him? he lost a round when Haye was on one leg remember.

    Yeah bellew was definitely blowing heavier at the point of injury... Haye would have won handily imo

    You could be right but personally I think Bellew was pacing himself well and when the injury came he got a bit too excited and shot his load too early. I just think Haye would have been dragged into the later rounds without the injury and Bellew would have won on points. I'm just basing this on my opinion that Haye was designed for an early KO, could be wrong but that's just how I saw it.

    Yeah, I think Haye had been very sloppy in the first few rounds. Bellew took a few strong punches to be fair. Before the fight everybody had been talking about how it would favour Bellew if the fight went longer, but on the basis of how it was playing out it would have favoured Haye, if he'd had the use of both legs, if the fight had gone longer. Bellew was gassed. I certainly don't begrudge him the money for his family, but my oh my he has been lucky in his last two fights.

    Loved it probably more so because it far exceeded my expectations. There was always that chance that Bellew was going to walk onto something from the time Haye got injured, kinda like that famous Danny Williams fight.

    Haye can't win. If he retires in the fight due to a injury, people will say he's a quitter and making excuses just like the Wlad fight. If he shows balls and continues, people will just slate him out of it, probably the same people that watch boxing once a year.

    There was zero skill. Where was the boxing talent

    What a load of ****e. That interview from Haye just stank of desperation. As much as I don't like him I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. What a disaster. Bellew was gassed after the 6th round and didn't have the power to knock out a man who couldn't defend himself. There is no credibility to that garbage. Fury is the only saviour for the heavyweight division and I hope he comes back.

    Fury is done. Joshua will win next month. Neither Haye or Bellew will ever fight him I believe. It would be a trouncing.

    For Haye to carry on after that injury was extraordinary. If he was in Germany to get that checked out because he had an issue, he should have pulled out. I can't believe he carried on and people question his heart! Don't know what they are talking about.

    I thought Bellew was initially quick on his feet and had Haye missing a good bit. Did you not see that?

    It was so sloppy. Haye was missing but it wasn't all down to Bellew.

    I dispare for boxing watching that
