Comments Thread For: Tony Bellew Drops David Haye Three Times, Stops Him in Fifth

Watch the Bellend slip these punches as he looks for the counter; this leads to the knockdown.

Agreed. And since Price seems like a nice chap, I would actually want to see it.

Price knocks out Haye. Haye is finished , Finito. As like Roy Jones, Haye had exceptional speed. Now he moves like Bambi on ice. However in his head he is still this fast twitch fighter. Number one rule in boxing as you get older your fighting style must evolve with your age. No longer can you always rely on your reflexes / feet / head movement to steer you clear from trouble so you definitely don’t keep your hands low you adapt a defence of some form that is not heavily reliant on fast twitch reflexes

That was a completely premature stoppage. The men in England are so feminized. Nevertheless, Haye is clearly shot and he's not healthy.

Andre Ward had KO'd Adonis Creed in sparring and Creed lost to Bellew - so I think Ward v. Bellew at Heavyweight is the fight to make.

the funny thing is, bellew isnt even any good

[Noelanthony]

Human nature/compassion makes you want to feel sorry for Haye, but he’s just been such an a$$ hole over the years that you’re happy to see him take that humble pie and be gone.

Nope absolutely no compassion for him but that stems fromwhen he was giving my girlfriend the eyes in a West Indian restaurant in London and I pretended that I didn’t see it and pretended that I didn’t see my girl look back at him

Why the Hate for Bellew?

Bellew fought nicely. Great speed and decent pop with footwork, a lost art is sometimes seems these days. People forget that a lot of the new generation of fighters lack fundamentals. Haye was always a one dimensional guy. He needed optimum speed to get across the ring from a distance and launch an attack, much like martinez and to some degree like Wilder.

Bellew is a good enough boxer that he could shut that strategy down, combined with Haye's leg problems. Bellew is a scrapper and was sharp.

I don't see why he can't be a force in the heavyweight division to a degree. I would give him equal odds against Parker, or Ruiz. He might be skilled enough to take advantage of Wilder's limited repretoire as well. Bellew has shown an instinct for the craft..good timing and crisp attacks. Lets not forget that if one can avoid Wilder's right hand it makes the odds very significantly change... Bellow also seems to have decent whiskers and decent power.

Don't know about Joshua because Joshua has enough fundamentals and size that make the fight tougher for Bellow...ditto for Whyte but Bellow could fight most of the heavyweights it seems to me.

What Bellow did was to take Haye out of the fight... Haye had bad habits with his hand placement and after delivering punches...If his injury had a lot to do with that, or not, I cannot say.

Haye will retire for good!

Has anybody any idea where does Bellew go from here? To cruiserweight or hw? Haye is nothing, he was a name 6 years ago. bellew should fight one good cruiserweight or decent hw now.

He should fight Charr after he takes care of Oquendo then call it a career after being named heavyweight champion although it is indeed a paper title.

Fight Usyk and get KTFO! But seriously, this is the real question, I said before this bout it was the highest paid irrelevant fight in boxing and it was and still is. There isn't really anywhere for Bellew to go from here, he wouldn't have a chance against anyone Top 10 at HW, at a push maybe Brezeale is a nothing fight he could win, but really unless Charles Martin finds another belt whilst out for midnight walk, Bellow can't pick anything up.

Bellow was making a name when Cruiserweight was an empty division, it's gotten better. He'd have zero chance at LHW (not that he could make the weight anyway) but even if he could make weight, he got out of LHW as soon as the temp was turned up, he wouldn't want that anymore.

How on earth we're even talking about him at HW, he's probably even wondering that himself. Perhaps he could drag Audley Harrison out of retirement and beat up another shot fighter or start calling out Mike Tyson maybe.
