    How do you figure Haye knew he was going to lose when he won every round bar one before the injury though? Bellew' tactics were so good that he was down on every scorecard? Haye wasn't exactly out on his feet in the sixth and you can't say he wouldn't have landed as heavyweights only need one punch in the later rounds. After the first, Bellew rarely troubled him so I'm genuinely trying to think where this 'he knew he was losing' has come from. I don't even like either fighter, they're both massive pricks. Just genuinely confused how you thought Bellew would have had it won.

    You had it right a few posts ago, waste of time discussing it.

    The man over a stone lighter than his opponent? The man stepping up a weight category, the man as high as 20/1 to win with bookies? I'm not sure how Bellew comes out of this badly. Haye may have been injured (I had suspicion an injury would crop up when he knew it was lost) but he didn't do what he said he could, he failed to come close to putting away a man smaller, lighter, fatter and everything else. So what if Bellew didn't KO him straight away, he played the fight well, took the sting out of Haye's aggression and stood up to this supposed vaunted Hayemaker. Haye is utterly finished after that. Bellew doesn't need any excuses, he won fair and square and had him beat after the first 4 rounds when Haye threw all he had and came up short.

    I'm not even a Bellew fan, he's not a great fighter by any means but Haye is the only one who should be embarrassed.

    Haye ruptured his Achilles tendon, it's a horror injury.

    As far as the "Hayemaker" goes, I box (only for fitness, but I spar weekly with lads who do compete mainly white collar) I have done for several years now, your power comes from not your arms but up through your feet, your legs and your core. If you plant your feet and transfer energy it's that much harder a punch, watch a hook in slow motion. It's from planted feet the front which should be up on your toes, should swivel as if putting out a fag as you swing in,  you push in the direction of the punch and then to use the term "sit down" on it. The force comes from your base up through your core and out through your arm. Your arms just swinging aren't as strong as when you move as one, it's why most don't get knocked out with jabs, and when they do it's mainly a leaping forward jab in which a persons full weight is behind it. Watch top quality boxers their feet are just as important as their hands.

    Haye has legit KO power, he did rattle Bellew in rnd 2 or 3 when he caught him, credit to Bellew his chin held up, but being dismissive of a man with proven KO power when he's on one leg is incorrect. From round 6 onwards i'd say Haye was hitting at as little as 50-60% of his potential,  If you don't believe me go to one of them punch things at an arcade smack it a few times then try doing it without putting weight on your feet, you'll see a difference. 

    The rest of your analysis is also wrong, Haye won round 10 on one leg, he also comfortably won round 5 and was pissing round 6 until his injury, i'm assuming you watched it in the pub? have you rewatched it sober? I've watched it twice and as I said above:

    Round 1 is 50/50 Haye wasn't settled, Bellew threw a few descent counter punches but nothing of any note, Haye was the aggressor

    Haye then won rnd 2,3,4,5 and in 6 bellew only got a knock down by bumping into him because Haye is hoping on one leg as he'd been injured.

    7,8,9 are Bellew but it's because Haye is literally standing on one leg swinging. 

    11 the ending if you watch it Bellew misses every shot and belly flops Haye out the ring. Haye on one leg can hardly get up, his corner chuck in the towel although he did make the count comfortably.

    Right... it's that time again. My Lion's XV (this changes all the time mind)...

    Williams
    Nowells
    Josephs
    Farrell
    Sexton
    Webb
    Marler
    Owens
    Furlong
    Launchbury
    Lawes
    Stander
    Haskell
    Vunipola

    Need big pack and strong set piece.

    I think North will be in that squad as well, it's Gatland again so at least 7-8 Welsh in the squad.  Itojie surely must start he's going to be a huge star in the game. 

    If the Scots I'd say Huw Jones has maybe played himself into a place. So has Keith Earls arguably  but I don't know about starting XV, would you take Hogg?

  4. I genuinely believe if they do the business in Dublin that the only team in the world that will stop these guys going into 2019 will be the All Blacks. It's a special team he's building and back to back grand slams would eclipse anything the '03 side did in the tournament. I'm concerned we may peak too soon though 

  5. Jesus wept, just seen Eddie Hearn talking about Wilder & Parker next for Bellew how embarrassing. I've rewatched the fight again just. Haye wins rnd 10 with a ruptured Achilles & Sky & Matchroom are going on like he's done better than rocky 4 it's cringy. Needs a rematch in fairness to Haye he won rnd 2,3,4,5 and in 6 bellew only got a knock down by bumping into him because Haye is hoping on one leg. 7,8,9 are Bellew but it's because Haye is literally standing on one leg swinging. 11 the ending if you watch it bellew misses every shot and belly flops Haye out the ring. Haye on one leg can hardly get up hilarious. 

    Eddie Hearn's exact words "he (bellew) can't fight Joshua because he's got Klitscko, but he could fight Wilder or Parker for a title. He's just outboxed David Haye". He should lose his license if he puts bellew in with Joshua absolutely ridiculous.
