Haye looked shot from the opening bell. His timing, handspeed, footspeed were all seriously diminished. No sharpness on his shots just wild swinging, awful to see from a once great sharpshooter.
I thought by 4 or 5 that he had shaken off a bit of the rust and would break bellew down over a few rounds. Although that would have been a very unimpressive win if it happened like that.
But the injury did it for him, Bellew was very poor, see miguel cotto vs yuri foreman for how to finish a one legged man. I dont know what it is with bellew but somehow he keeps getting wins.
Not sure what shane mcguigans plan for haye was, with those attributes gone he needed to fight behind a jab, orthadox style. Jab and straight right, keep it simple. We didnt know what haye had left but mcguigan would have and failed to adapt his style accordingly.
Overall pretty sad to see, Haye was a favorite of mine at one stage but he didnt make the most of his talent and now his talent us gone. At least he showed heart i guess.
