Blloody hell!!

That was a war, hopefully there will be a rematch.

Said he would but Haye lasted longer than i thought he would especially on a damaged leg. Why did they only stop it in the 11th round

Well done Bellew now for the rematch

I wonder hoe serious that ankle injury is but probably now if there is a rematch both will have the utmost respect for each other
I don't think Bellew could beat Joshua I think Parker or Wilder would be good options for him if he did go after a heavyweight title

I reckon up until Haye got injured, that was a war that came pretty close to Eubank/Benn territory

I think Haye comes out of this pretty good after he got injured carried on and didn't use it (yet) as a reason why he lost.

Bellew was being outclassed up until Haye was hurt but to he fair to him I think he knows he can't mix it with the likes of Joshua who is simply to big and quick.

Fair dues to HP and anyone else who thought Bellew could beat Haye. I really could not see it coming, I think Haye has just got old overnight. It happens to all boxers

Like this

Not seen a better fight between a scouser and a one legged person since Paul Mccartney took heather mills on in the divorce court

Whether there is genuine demand for a rematch remains to be seen and if there is going to be enough money on the table for I but I think to be honest it might be the only fight left for Haye (and probably his last)
IMO on Bellew facing either Parker or Wilder I would go for Wilder. But I think he could probably take a few shots from Joshua before being laid out but I do think Bellew has shown what an underdog is capable of and probably could take Joshua a few rounds

As for Haye I think he knows now he is unlikely to get anywhere near a world title shot unless Bellew was to beat Parker or Wilder and put that title on the line in a re match but certainly that has to be a contender for fight of the year 2017
