shouldve went in for the kill when he made bellew wobble a bit but ended up toying with him
anyway, no-one comes out that fight looking good, L for both
Not sure about that at all.
Hayes fked his ankle from getting knocked down so its a legit injury off getting floored, that's not Bellews problem, that's like saying the only reason Weidman beat Anderson Silva was because Anderson broke his leg.
Hayes main problem was that all else was equal, height the same, but Hayes was a stone and a bit heavier, tonked up muscle and simply slower and carrying more weight.
One way or another (as I said to my mates before the fight) if Hayes doesn't tune him up before Rd 6 he's going to have a problem.
Bellew was very patient almost too patient at times but took Hayes apart methodically.
Yes if Hayes ankle was snapped I pity him, but Bellew took his punches and Hayes was having trouble landing due to being too muscled (remember he's a blown up CW).
Crusier weight Hayes would of won that fight, Hayes has more skill but his slowness due to putting on that muscle at HW negated that skill advantage as he was slower.
