Laughing, laughing, laughing out loud this evening!! That dope David Haye just go knocked out by Tony Bubble Bellew! Bellew, who fought most of his early career at light heavy, fought his past 8 at cruiser, and now his first at heavy against a so called top 5 heavyweight in the world. Bellew came in conditioned well enough, his balance was good and defensively showed good slip, but he's not hard puncher at heavy nor does he sustain attacks.
Haye came in without his usual 'roided-looking physique, and, as predicted by his former trainer Adam Booth, was struggling for breath after 6 rounds. Haye was flat footed from the start, swung wild hooks into the air while looking for the knockout that never was, and looked like he has learned many bad habits since laying off the roids and rarely training -one of which is leaning heavily on his front foot and leading with his face.
Had Bellew any real power, or good counter timing and technique, Haye would have been put to sleep. Instead, Bellew played position, popped enough solid shots into a tiring and faded Haye to knock him down and out of the ring in round 11. For all his boasting and bluster these past years, Haye finally got his well deserved kick in the ass he has long needed. Best of all, Haye got it good from a guy he had hand picked himself to easily beat so he could waltz into a multi-million pound fight with one of the top heavies.
Here is the fight:
