Haye vs Bellew:
Monitoring Desk
The dust has settled. David Haye and Tony Bellew provide their memories of how last week’s fight played out…
Where did your pre-fight confidence come from?
Haye: I questioned his chin, his durability and his size. I would have bet my life that I wouldn’t lose the fight, it was the last thing I anticipated.
Bellew: I saw the chinks. In the moment that you take David’s best, he falls apart mentally. He’s done it throughout his career. He hit Carl Thompson with the kitchen sink but when Carl didn’t fall apart, David fell apart. David is very superstitious.
Bellew: I was the quickest fighter David had ever faced, and nobody took that into consideration. Sometimes I circled towards the right hand because I knew he has to twitch before he throws. When he twitched, I rolled, I slipped. When I hit him clean, I dropped.
