Comments Thread For: Bellew: I Pleaded With Haye, McGuigan To 'Stop Now' Before TKO

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

An ill-tempered build-up was laid bare as both men swung from the hip with bad intentions, but WBC cruiserweight champion Bellew fighting in the highest weight division for the first time in his professional career upset the odds to outlast Haye, whose designs for a shot at IBF ruler Anthony Joshua now lie in tatters.

yeah. i know age shouldn matter but im sceptical on how mcguigan (a kid basically whos never been a pro) can tell david haye what to do. Haye ran that corner and was fighting on pride (he was never ever going to quit after the criticism about the klitscko fight) but if there was any chance of a comeback after that injury its probably over now having fought 5 rounds on it. KNow bellews not exactly george foreman but haye still took unnecessary punishment. Fight should have been called off 1 round max after the injury went.

If McGuigan pulled Haye out earlier everybody would be criticising the decision and say the fight was terrible. The fight was only good because neither man was prepared to surrender. I give both guys props.

McGuigan is a nutritionist as well yet Haye looked slowass and shot from the very first bell. I thought he might look a bit sharper but, no, David Haye is fkn finished.

Haye body was done, they basically patch him up for this fight. He had less than 6 rounds in 3 years. All the evidence was in front of us but I like many ignored it. Thought Haye still has enough to destroy Bellew.

It's true, Haye was already done and Bellew, at least, is an active fighter, but I too ignored all those classic signs that an upset was on the cards. Damn, there was some good money to be made on a Bellew stoppage.
