Sky Box Office going mental - It's not even a fecking upset :lol:

Bellew essentially defeated a broken man who could barely stand. And even then it took his all. No way does he deserve any more pay days in the heavyweight division.

Eddie Hearn is also a fecking disgrace, absolute cretin.
 
This is BULL SHIT, Haye was injured, it was said before the show but damn, Bellew could barely do him on one leg. To see Hearn jump in like that, and the the OWNED Chisora all over Tony, nope. That was a let down, real let down. Bellew sucks.
 
Bellew won't get any credit unfortunately. People will forget that he was doing absolutely fine before Haye got hurt - I gave Bellew the 1st and 3rd round.
 
Sky are so fecking biased. Adam Smith is here screaming like a lunatic because Bellew managed to stop a one legged 36 year old.
 
Respect to both fighters. Massive heart from Haye. Sad way to go out but showed great courage.
 
A wins still a win, and it is an upset. No one really gave Bellew a chance. 8/1 in some places.
 
Looked a glancing blow. He wanted to continue. Hearn and his bollocks...'one of the nicest duos in boxing':lol::lol:

He was loving, and puffing. It's blatantly obvious that was Hayes fight all night long until the injury. Haye even won a round one legged.

Haye comes out of this with more credit than Bellew.
 
Haye is done, though, his injuries are constant. People say he ducked Fury, he never did, he was at press conference level but had a seriously Fubar'd shoulder, then the klitschko toe, now this.

For sure Haye comes out with more credit. But Bellew shouldn't come out with none.
 
Not a boxing expert or anything, but after leaving him fight for so long, that seemed a strange time to throw in the towel?
 
If the rumours about his financial situation are true, he needs the money more than his legacy being cemented. This ruins him as a top level fighter, I think. By the time he is back in fighting shape, and has to start all over again, he'll be too old.

Don't know about the financia situation. But every professional athlete cares about their legacy too.
 
Bit of a shame that Haye's corner didnt let him see out the fight. Throwing the towel in at the end of round 11 after Haye has been battling to stay in it for most of the fight just seems harsh.
