"So much respect". Yep. A great night, National Reputation rehabilitated, only Landan could do this, yada yada yada.
Yes it was reported before the fight and there were talks about canceling the fight but Haye went on with it and paid the price. The leg gave out in the sixth
Not really. Bellew was dead at 175, dead. A child could have pushed him over, and,physique aside , Haye has regressed badly since 2011.
Would it be too much to ask someone what the hell happened? It's all jokes and smiley faces. For starters, WHO WON?
The Bellew win is pretty much the only thing that still makes Stevenson relevant. Didn't expect him to win this one
That was entertaining. Bellew won, and should have won, given that Haye was crippled. Haye should call it a day.
:: :: That was great, never been more happy to be wrong. Haye is even worse than I thought, fair play to Bellew, I didn't see that coming. Still don't think he's all that though. Refused to pay for the fight so I watched it in a snooker hall in Twickenham, never making that mistake again, the place is a fucking hole.
Yeah, Stevenson will go down in history as "That random Haitian pimp that knocked out the great Tony Bellew"
I honestly felt Haye was finding the range and working his way in, but the injury didn't happen by accident, Haye was leaping all the time. Bellew cannot punch for shit, he cannot even throw for shit, never mind punch, he can't move his hands in any fluid motion at all. A fitting sad end to Hayes career. His entire career was based on pot-shotting, in and out of the ring. On his arse, through the ropes, listening to the sound of his filthy lucre going down the grid.
I kept expecting Haye to take Bellew out with a counter left hook as Bellew applied the pressure but he was all over the place. I get the whole thing with the ankle injury and to his credit I think this time it was genuine, but he looked like microwaved shit BEFORE that anyway.
His timing was way way off and that's a direct result of not fighting often enough, which is itself a direct result of his own approach to boxing, fight lucratively, sparingly. How ironic that a philosophy intended to elongate his pursuit of the filthy lucre at the expense of the fans has resulted in him on his arse with putty for tendons at the hands of a guy who lost to Nathan Cleverly.
