Haye vs Bellew

Goodbye David Haye.

 

So who won?

 

Bellew, I suppose. Haye fought with some kind of ankle problem for five rounds. Very hard to give Bellew any credit whatsoever.

 

Both of them conned the public with fake hatred to sell the fight and David Haye even more now is the Darren Anderton of Boxing with the amount of injuries he's had to cancel fights or use as a reason for a defeat.

Talking up a rematch that's not needed. Time the bloated cruiserweight who couldn't knock out a one legged opponent without a proper fight for at least five years gets a title shot off someone.

 

Thanks for the replies

I'm no boxing fan so never thought of finding out the result. It was only the media coverage which made me remotely interested.

I feel so sorry for those who paid to watch such ****.

 

I watched it for free on my Kodi box and I feel ripped off.

 

Haye was clearly injured pre-fight, he flew out to Munich mid-week to see a specialist.

Obviously he still felt he could win the fight with an injury but when his Achilles' tendon ruptured in the 5th it was game over.

What was bizarre to me was Sky afterwards who were completely ignoring the injury.

I can't help but think they knew all about Haye's injury & are worried about some sort of backlash & people wanting refunds.

Haye probably retires now, it's a long road back from that injury at 36.

No idea what Bellew does, it was an incredible win for him but he has no business at heavyweight, he lost every round up until the injury got worse in the 5th & couldn't finish a one legged fighter.

 

They never hated each other. It's all an act.

Bellew created a fake rivalry with Haye to get paid millions in a fight he'd be a huge underdog in rather than face his mandatory challenger at cruiserweight Breidis who's a hell of a fighter but unknown where Bellew would've also been a huge underdog & would've earned a much smaller purse against.

I'm convinced he expected to lose last night & then retire as all he's talked about was securing his families financial future & how he doesn't know what he wants to do next

 

When they talk bad about eachother they're "conning the public with fake hatred" when they're respectful like Anthony Joshua he's a "boring robot"
Some people just love moaning.

Hard fight to watch, seeing someone fight when they're obviously injured.

 

enjoyed the fight last night, still think it haye didn't hurt his leg in the 6th he would have ended up knocking bellew out, but it worked out for me last night as I put £5 on bellew to beat haye between rounds 10-12 and got odds of 50/1 so ended up with a nice £255 from that bet

 

Bellew always liked Haye until he spotted an opportunity to get another Sky Box Office fight.

He used to post on boxing forums about how much he liked & respected Haye.
He let slip in interviews that they discussed Bellew boxing on Haye's undercards on Dave tv channel to get the rivalry going. This was over a year ago.

All best pals straight after the fight. Both know how to play the game, the two best salesmen in British boxing.

As for Breidis, Bellew didn't want anything to do with him. Last night was the second time they've paid step aside money to avoid the fight. The first time was on Bellew's last undercard when Breidis stopped one of Bellew's main sparring partners Simon Valily in two rounds.

Bellew's been saying for a while he doesn't think he'll fight much longer after the Goodison Park fight.

Like he said straight after 'the main thing is I've secured my families future'. I just don't think he expected it to be with a victory.

I don't think Haye had any choice but to fight on Saturday night, he'd already got a bad reputation due to been injury prone & if he wanted the Joshua fight he couldn't afford to pull out injured again. I believe he thought he didn't need to be anywhere near a 100% to win.

 

It's all about selling PPV's. Controversy sells.

Joshua's doing great at the minute but if he loses & people lose interest I've no doubt we'll see a different side to him to get the interest back.
