Round-By-Round - David Haye vs. Tony Bellew - March 4th 2017

[Covfefe]

Is Hearn trying to get Tony banged out? Has Bellew upset him somehow?

[rd350lc]

Eddie Hearn seems to be saying that Haye ran out of steam as per the original gameplan. Oh no now he is talking Wilder and Parker.

fornicate off sky

[BillyTKid]

Can't believe this Bullshit on sky. Letting bellew rabbit on about his master plan and stamina beating haye, while not mentioning the leg. It's like North Korean TV.

[Covfefe]

Tonight I showed him?

Tony you couldn't even stop a one legged fighter stood right in front of you.

This talk of the game plan working is making me sick.

No he didn't. Haye was up at 9, his corner pulled him.

I switched off a bit earlier. This forum will be bad for a while now.

I can't believe the nonsense I'm hearing. Bellew saying Haye's a great fighter but 'there are different levels of character and heart... name me a fighter who hasn't been hurt in a fight'. What an utter plonker.

For me Haye looked sluggish but was well on the way to victory before the knee/ankle went. Great heart from Haye, went some way to making up for toe-gate.

[Grilling Machine]

Because predicting an injury is outrageously difficult.

I limited my bet to a £25 loss because of the rumours, but yeah, it is.

[Covfefe]

The great escape style music is somehow making it worse.

[Horse]

No he didn't. Haye was up at 9, his corner pulled him.

Stoppage win.

Did he officially , or was he retired by his corner ?

[handsofstone]

Haye looks to be trying to dominate with the left i reckon his right shoulder is fucked

He looked apprehensive about something during his ringwalk to me...

Looks like you called it CounterPuncher, except he was favouring the left because of the right leg rather than the arm?

Yeah he was definitely relying on the left hand, its just not as seasoned as his right hand, mix that together with a man desperate for to prove everyone right and score a sensational early KO, you have a wild man which is what Haye was before the injury especially in the 1st round, I had him up by the 5 th but he was still poor and Bellew was doing nothing offensively

Also can I say Bellew deserves massive kudos for trying to close the show instead of cruising to a no doubt inevitable points victory
One of the biggest shocks in my time watching boxing even with a Haye injury

[Covfefe]

Stoppage win.

Haye would have been able to carry on. His corner stopped him, not Bellew. Which is what I said.

[Asterix]

I don't know why you guys even acknowledge Horse.

[rossij8]

The injury was in the ring tbf so kind of still counts

How was it caused? Haye swinging and missing?

Isn't that still part of the game?

I think the injury takes away from the shock value personally. I always felt injury was Bellew's only chance. But I will give Bellew credit for his boxing savvy in the early stages, even if he was on the way to a points loss.

Moving backwards his ankle just goes when he planted both feet.

[Exoddus]

After the second round I said to my brother that I lost my Haye rounds 1-6 bet. He looked slow, his balance and timing was off and his accuracy was terrible.

Even without the injury Bellew was going to win imo.

[banjo]

Eddie Hearn is a genius, made everyone who called it a mismatch(including me) look complete plonkers, made the bookies a shedload, made Sky a load and made the two fighters a load of money.

Sort of, yeah, but is this injury not the reason why he flew to Germany to see that doctor?

He was clearly injured from the start, that's why he was flat footed. The Achilles just went completely during the fight.
