Bellew-Haye

[orly]

thats a fair comparison, the thing that sticks in my mind about hattons comeback was how poor his timing was

And that he let himself get into dreadful condition

 

[Librarian]

So he feigned an ankle injury knowing he was going to most likely lose on points. He fakes injury more than Ronaldo.

Comes out with an intact reputation and the promise of another payday...

Or am I just being cynical.

Yes, because he was essentially being hit in the face unguarded by a 15 stone prizefighter for 15 mins afterwards when he could have quit in round 6 or 7

Easier ways to fake it out that potentially getting brain trauma

He wasn't unguarded?? And he was still giving it back - as for quitting, he's never coming back from that.

He was barely in a position to fight on - with your theory, he could have given up in the 8th. Instead he took several rounds more battering.

It's hardly Audley Harrison not throwing a punch. If he's never coming back from it, why would he prolong the fight? He's not paid per round.

People saying "he's just guaranteeing himself another payday" have to realise that now, he is a broken product with not much a reputation to trade on. He probably would only get 20% of the money he got last night in a rematch, he'd have to be very desperate.

Haye would have planned for couple of million from the Bellew fight, maybe a couple of million fighting Whyte, then a cash out vs Joshua. Now he's goosed with no earning power.

Not impressed with Rooney's attitude tbh, smiling and talking to people after a draw.

How many more times? He wasn't going to quit, his reputation would have been in tatters.

lollollol Unlucky ya bellend

Again he wouldn't have needed to - his corner could have 'pulled him out' with a sly nod if he needed to, and didn't until the 11th

It's an absolute myth to say he faked it. Just look at the stills from when his ankle goes over.
