So basically Haye lost on technical knockout because he got injured? Well that sucks.

It seems Haye failed to deliver the goods despite his injury, and fairplay to Bellew for seeing it through to the near end despite the circumstances. All things considered, it sounds like a rematch would be a fair outcome but it could be a waste of time for Haye if he's so injury prone at the age of 36+.

I know they both talked about a rematch, but I think once the dust has settled demand for that fight will dwindle.

Bellew needs to stick to cruiserweight, it was clear it was a step too far for him last night.

Surprised all I can  say about the result from all the pre-fight hype.

Bellow would still struggle against top class. 

Would love to have been in the Haye dressing  room afterwards re his injury.  He was absolutely cream crackered after the first 3 rounds.

Time for the BBBC to get a hold on Eddie Hearn and demand fighters show respect in the build up to the fights...particularly with the PPV the charade of hatred goes all the way to the start of the fight to generate sales & is frankly pathetic.

BBBC should be threatening (& carrying out if needed) to cancel fights where the two camps show excessive disrespect.

I thought the fight was a farce. Haye couldn't move after the leg injury and should have been pulled out. The two afterwards, trying to talk up a rematch, all pally pally, engineering another pay day. When was the last time Eddie Hearn put together a decent, competitive ppv?

Agree, but cruiserweight isn't a particularly attractive division, meaning there is far more interest and financial rewards in the heavyweight division.  As he said himself, a fight against Parker or Wilder would earn Bellew way more than any fight at cruiserweight.

From what I saw last night I think that Parker or Wilder would smash Bellew.

Linares looking a class act against Crolla here.  Speed, skill and vicious power.
