The fight was ended by an injury. Although Haye looked like a bag of **** before the injury, he was still in control of the fight and winning on all cards easily.
It's not the same as the Lewis v Vitali fight whereby Lewis caused the injury by throwing a punch.
There were no tactics, no 'played it to perfection', no superior boxing by the camp of Tony Bellew. He just got lucky, very lucky.
The fight could have been ended by Haye not coming out for Round 7. How would you have viewed it then? It certainly would have been clearer to casual fans that the injury ended the fight, so in a way although he showed heart by fighting on, he's deluded Bellew's fans into thinking it was a valid TKO.
The rest of us saw Bellew struggle with a one-armed, one-legged shell of a HW for 5 rounds before he managed to fall through the ropes.
meh....you never know how fights turn out. im sorta happy with the way this turned out. both are shlt. so instead of listening to haye talk HIS bullshlt. we get to hear bellew. he wont last.
