Haye looked like a bag of shit even when he had two legs to be fair. He looked like he'd borrowed pages out of the Deontay Wilder windmill punching playbook. You cant really argue with what Bellew did, he kept himself out of the way early on for the most part, his plan worked to a tee, Haye being on one leg lit a fire under it.
I dont really see how anyone can be giving Haye stick for the injury. There's a video that shows the achillies going, you'd have to be obligated up to the eyeballs to ignore it or deny it. I've heard all sorts of nonsense over the past couple of days. 'I snapped my achillies once and I couldnt stand, you cant stand with a snapped achillies!!!' You can stand, just not on your tip toes, you'd be flat footed as Haye was. If you've ever had a torn achillies and you couldnt walk, that means you're a fanny, it doesnt mean David Haye is faking.
The part bolded above is why I suspect Haye was injured going into the fight. The rumours were there, the timing and movement were awkward to say the least, then he really did it in for good. I think after the recent cancellations with Fury and knowing it would be tougher to come back at this stage he just decided to try with a dodgy leg and then keep trying with a properly screwed up leg. Didn't work, but he has won more admirers by doing it this way. There has to be a reason why he was lumbering around like a caveman at the start. Must have been something up with him.
Agreed, Haye has never looked that wild in the ring even in his 2 comeback fights. He did look like bambi on ice.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
