    Bellew is a bit of a clown but he seems like an alright lad and I really like him as a pundit, and you have to take your hat off to the way he's turned his career around in recent years. Haye is finished but I have no idea what Bellew does now. He can hardly retire when his name is at its peak?

    Wouldn't have put money on that type of result, but Haye looked old and really amateurish.

    It was a demolition.

    Honestly struggle to give Bellew much credit. He should be beating an opponent who may as well have been reeled in on a wheelchair.

    Cynical cash grab that symbolises everything that's wrong with Matchroom/Hearn. Two lads set up to get their pension money.

    I think Bellew is an immensely likeable fellow. Nothing but admiration for him now.

    Think that a bit harsh...

    Haye was in front of him. 220 lbs. can punch and tried. Bellew landed the good fight ending shots...

    He was not fighting some complete nobody...

    Bellew the little crying b*tch.

    Where does he go now? He gets taken apart by the top cruisers in fairness. Surely he won't be fighting any of the big name heavyweights.

    Beating haye really proves feck all. He will bank a few million fair play but other than that it's a nothing fight

    Very impressive from Bellew, didn't think he'd be as dominant. You'd have to feel sorry for Haye. I really don't like the guy but you can't argue with his cojones.

    There was literally nothing behind those Haye punches. Didn't have a hind leg to push off. No achievement beating a shell of a fighter like that.

    You said Haye would win though? Must be some achievement if you didn't think Bellew would win.

    Haye's ankle was goosed. Least he had the grace not to say it. He said he wasn't fit enough.

    Bellew called out Usyk, Gassiev and Andre bloody Ward. Guess the punches must have done something to him. Tbf Ward just probably clowns him and takes him the distance for a nice pay day but Usyk and Gassiev will decapitate him.

    Haye’s chin and Tony’s power let Haye down. Not his ankles.

    I said "if fit" he'd win. He wasn't fit. His legs completely done.

    Wasn't that impressive, Haye was shocking and injured from the get go.

    How can anyone be impressed by Tony Bellew.

    And he can fooking punch. Get to CW and let’s see some scraps..

    I want to see him fight the WBSS winner. Usyk or Gassiev, it would be a great fight.

    Haye was more banjaxed in the last fight and Bellew didn't dominate him nearly as much then.

    You starting the Tony fanclub or something! Remember Bellew slumped in a heap after the Stevenson fight.

    Won his last 10 fights, lots of them 50/50s. What he has done is very impressive.

    He's been hammered in the ring but because the commentators love him so much they have to come up with something complimentary.

    Just come out with the truth - he's not good enough anymore.

    So you're basically saying prime Haye would've got knocked out like that too? His chin hasn't changed. Sorry, but that's just so off the mark. Haye is a shell of a fighter.

    No. Just stating facts. Haye’s chin let him down..

    Even if not injured, which is to be confirmed, he still may have got knocked out. Tony landed good heavy shots and closed the show..
