    A rematch would be awkward now.

    Like I said before, circus fight.

    Glad I didn't pay for it, that was a farce. If Haye knew his Achilles was busted with his trip to Germany he should've pulled out and delayed for a month.

    Watched on a feed that'd I'd have given up on for football. However, in slo-mo it was obvious that Bellew was by far the better boxer - well deserved win

    Bellew was never going to get the KO on Haye, TKO was fair, though Haye would have gone all the way.

    It was pretty sad to see as it was pretty even up to the 6th.

    Those saying bellew was far better are over stretching it a bit.

    You can see that from their faces - Haye barely looks touched, but Bellew looks like he's taken a baseball bat to the face!

    Most fighters would but because of his previous postponements he couldn't really.

    Calzaghe had a badly injured hand before lacey and wanted to pull out but his dad wouldn't let him albeit with a hugely different outcome than tonight.

    What an absolute tit that Hearn is. Great to see Bellew mug him off at the end of the fight.

    Fair play to Haye for carrying on, surprised it even went to the 6th when his ankle went.
    All a bit over the top with the interviews at the end but the record books will still say Bellew won, can't see a way back for Haye now.

    Yeah, i wouldn't say he was far better, but he edged it til the injury. Certainly showed him could take more than people thought he would

    I think you need to add that this was all a pay day. Get in that ring, injury or not and he's still making a lovely amount. A title fight yes he probably would have pulled out. Just goes to show what a shit show this whole thing was and boxing in general has become now.

    Wilder or Parker next. FFS Hearn

    Seriously they're keeping Bellew as a heavyweight after that performance?!

    He could barely land punches against a fighter with one leg unable to move. Any reasonable heavyweight would batter him.

    The toe revelation, the humiliating fight with Chisora at press conference, the two fury pull outs and the two "Haye Day" experiences have proven to me that Haye is an absolute wanker.

    He could be totally shot. No one knows because he hasn't had a fight since July 2012. That's nearly 5 years. A 36 year who has not had a fight for nearly 5 years.

    I wouldn't put money on it but if Bellew is still standing after 4/5/6 then it could get interesting and very difficult for Haye.

    Thanks

    Any idea when we'll next get 3 points? ;-)

    Redemption for Haye, after his disgraceful comments made in the lead-up to the fight. Much respect in evidence tonight, both during and after. Why do (some) pros spout such crap before a bout? Just shut up and do your stuff in the ring.

    p.s. You're correct. Mike Costello is a splendid commentator.

    A good solid contest? It was 5 rounds of someone beating a disabled man. If you want that there's plenty of care homes you can go to.

    I could actually see Bellew facing Parker, I only saw his last fight but he didn't look all that to my admittedly untrained eye,
    That guy AJ beat to win his belt was a world champion and I'd pick Bellew to beat him too

    Parker is fighting Hughie Fury next.

    Without the injury I think most of us know it was Hayes fight. The respect afterwards was admirable and Haye knew very well he couldn't say a word about an injury, ironically when he obviously picked up a nasty one.

    Bellew needs to have a word with himself, he fought a man on one leg for 6 rounds and landed nothing of substance

    Fight was all about dosh, fair play to Hqyefor not quitting on his stool

    Thought Bellew edged the rounds up until 5, but Haye started to look more dangerous and was landing the more devestating punches.

    Wanted Bellew to win, but have to say before the injury and around the 5th and 6th Haye was going to be the only winner. Bellew gassing himself out proved that in the 7th and 8th. I'm pleased Bellew won seems a decent guy, but sad Haye did his ankle/achilles. Few trainers would have pulled Haye, but if he was fighting a wclass heavyweight he should have been pulled.

    The ref didn't stop it and it went on and on. Bellew was up on points, yes, but Haye kept going until late on.

    Shame as was shaping up to be a good fight.

    Very brave by Haye. Real shame as it's probably end of his career and seeing him in the ring again against a decent opponent makes me realise what an exciting fighter he is.

    Fair play to Bellew for being classy.

    Doubt rematch will happen but if it does would be a great contest based on the early rounds. Would give bellew'so body time to get used to the extra weight.

    Freaky fight but better than watching our football highlights.

    Haye was class in not even acknowledging the injury which essentially ended the contest there and then.

    Rematch will definitely happen... Haye knows he needs it or his career is finished and Bellew knows that too. Bellew holds all of the cards and can demand anything he wants... It will be the biggest moneyspinner available for him. Cruiser is weak as fuck at the moment and bar a defense against Huck/Bredies there is nothing of note there. Bellew should fight Haye, if he loses milk it for a trilogy and if he wins try to get one last big payday from one of the big guys in the heavyweight division.

    Can't see the value in any rematch, as that fight was built on the apparent hatred between the two and they won't be able to pull that trick again.

    Bellew will get beaten by a properly fit and tuned up heavyweight contender and Haye must face another long lay off to recover from his injury.

    To play devils advocate, I had Haye 3-2 up after 5, ringside they had it 2-2 with a drawn round

    Anyone use the fight score app?
    Score the fight as you go but also shows the average of everyone who submit their scores.
    Average after 152 cards submitted so far had Haye 4-1 up after 5

    That's how I had it at 5, after that scoring became a bit moot. It was Bellews fight to lose

    Haye is finished has been for years.

    The thought of him taking on Joshua is absolutely hilarious.
