    I've wondered if this injury is older. His balance and stance was also off in his two previous fights imo.

    Haye seemed shot. Nothing at all like the fighter of 2008-2012.

      Toe to toe?, Tony ran half the fight, nothing toe to toe about that fight.

      Tony landed about 3 counter punches from rounds 1 - 6

        There were multiple times this fight went toe to toe.

        Bellew didn't run at any point in the fight.

          Could be

          I think all will be revealed by Haye himself this week, he needs to come clean and be upfront.

          On the plus side for him, his shoulder is holding up nicely. His fitness also looked good, to fight with one leg for 11 rounds was impressive

          I also think Haye had too much emotions invested in this fight, thats why he may of been a little sloppy in the first 1-3 rounds, similar to Joshua Whyte, when it's a grudge match, boxers tend to come in swinging.

            I disagree, i felt Tony was running especially in rounds 4 and 5, it was frustrating to watch. He felt the power, wobbled, and decided to go for a jog. I think he admitted if after the fight, that he's never felt power like that.

            but he did stay in the pocket from rounds 6 and onwards, but we all know why he could do that

              He wasn't running. He was moving intelligently.

              Everyone expected Bellew to get blown out, he had to follow a game plan and did.

                    I didn't know gameplans included not throwing punches. Very interesting tactics. Bellew is a pioneer. Win a fight by not throwing punches, especially is the opponent is injured.

                      I think he admitted gassing after the 6th.

                      He clearly wasn't running and was competitive all the way through. Looked stunned and hurt in the 4th I believe, but Haye is a massive puncher.

                      Sounds a bit like sour g****s.
