Haye v Bellew - 4/3/17 rd-by-rd

[Master]

Haye was losing the fight after he got injured and he would not have got the decision if it went to points so what was the point of carrying on?

If Haye was winning or it was close then it would have been worth taking it to the cards but bellew was too wise to get knocked out with any wild punches that Haye was throwing.

'Bellew to fight again in 2017'

Tony Bellew is set to fight again this year following his dramatic heavyweight victory over David Haye, according to promoter Eddie Hearn.

Bellew claimed an 11th-round win over Haye, who was hampered by an Achilles injury from the sixth round, with trainer Shane McGuigan throwing in the towel for the former WBA world heavyweight champion at The O2.

In a bruising encounter in which Bellew claimed to have broken his hand, the 34-year-old admitted afterwards that his future was "uncertain".

However, Bellew's promoter Hearn told Sky Sports News HQ on Monday that 'Bomber' will fight again this year, with a possible rematch against Haye among the options.

"We're going to fight this year, 100 percent," said Hearn.

"Like Tony [Bellew] said, the decision will be made by him and his family and it's my job to present the opportunities to him. I believe the Haye rematch will be one of those opportunities.

"Part of Tony Bellew wanted to beat him fully fit. There are some unanswered questions.

"It was an epic event, it was a thrilling fight but the Haye rematch certainly remains one of the biggest fights out there for both guys.

"For Haye the only fight out there is the Tony Bellew rematch. For Tony there's the Haye rematch, there's Joseph Parker, there's Deontay Wilder, there's Tyson Fury, there's plenty of options."

In the immediate aftermath of victory, Bellew challenged reigning WBC world heavyweight champion Wilder to a fight, with Hearn revealing he had already received a phone call from the American about a proposed bout.

Hearn also confirmed previously that WBO champion Joseph Parker had made contact following Bellew's success in his maiden heavyweight clash.

Haye was losing the fight after he got injured and he would not have got the decision if it went to points so what was the point of carrying on?

You've never boxed, you wouldn't understand.

Im kidding, it's got nothing to do with having boxed. It's your general stupidity that stops you from understanding

OK I'm kidding, or not.

I get what you're saying and in general I would agree. If a fight is unwinnable, jack it in.

There are caveats though. One of those being, if you're staring down the barrel of a stoppage loss to Tony Bellew and you've only got one foot, you fucking hop over the finish line, you crawl. You tell your useless corner that if they even contemplate getting creative and stopping the fight you will murder them in cold blood.

Given all that Haye said and taking into account what happened, you either walk out, or get carried out horizontal. Thats my personal opinion.

Haye could barely stand and fell out through the ropes. The rematch is going to happen anyway and fighting for another 5 minutes until the end of the fight would have made no difference.

It just shows you how far Haye has fallen that he wants to create a trilogy against Bellew when he once has aspirations of fighting for the world title.

He could barely stand from round 6 onward. It would have made a huge difference. It would have meant not getting stopped by Tony Bellew.

Regarding Haye making adjustments, I'd say his lack of fights over the years even as far back as Macca caught up with him. More activity could have resulted in increasing awareness of options available.

I don't think they should have stopped it

Bellew never looked like stopping him, I think the knockdown was due to the lack of balance, I don't even think there was any kind of punch landed and it looked a lot worse because he fell through the ropes

I think he'd have lasted to the end

Bellew has been a bellend since the fight, he is talking like he beat David Haye and he is now awesome

I now really hope Hayes body can last one last training camp and one last fight

If that does happen and Haye wins then "they" will demand a 3rd fight. Do we really want to see that?

[erics44]

a fully fit haye who is ready to fight and I don't think Bellew lasts past 3 rounds

so I don't think there will be a need for a third

I'm not really arsed about that now anyway, id like to see a second and who knows how id feel after it

I may want a third I might not, its probly 8 months off
