    Do you see Bellew win as a LEGIT WIN?

    I thought Tony Bellew got very lucky this evening.

    Regardless of your thoughts on David Haye you've got to feel sorry for the guy fighting the second half of the fight with an injury where he could barely stand.

    Haye showed a lot of heart.

    But do you see the Bellew win as a legitimate win considering Haye was a cripple for the second half of the fight?

    No. Anyone that says yes just hates Haye.

      People on steroids are injury prone. This as legit as it gets.

      Wilder's chiny ass is next.

        It meant nothing. Prime Haye would have walk over this guy. Even tonight Haye would have stopped him late if he didn't tear his foot.

        Wilder would destroy Bellew.

            It's hard to say, really. My instinct is to say no because if Haye didn't get injured, Bellew does not win. Tony gets credit for taking the fight and not getting bombed out before the injury but it was a win reliant on a freak injury for the other guy.

              Every win is legit, (well, blatant robberies are contentious).

              Bellew was losing, but he got a lucky break with an injury and won the fight. Not a 'defining win' in style, but a win.

                Haye got excuses in every loss.

                Thompson - He young doe.
                Wlad - Toe doe.
                Bellew - Leg doe.

                Fact is he got upset. It was a legit win and Haye said so, he said Bellew won fair and square. Don't make excuses for him when he's not even making any for himself.

                  The ankle/leg injury completely changed the fight doubt Bellew wins without it. But it happens. The injury wasn't caused by a foul. Bellew won.

                    Haye's finished. Looked slow/inaccurate since his comeback, adding weight for no reason really didn't help him, in fact i'd say it was ******ed. It served no purpose.
