It didn't look like anything happened - it just went. There was an exchange and then his leg just seemed to buckle.

I was thinking more about the little toe business with Klitschko

Embarrassing performance from Bellew tbh, to take what, 5 rounds to beat someone literally on one leg? No doubt in my mind Haye wins comfortably without the injury.
I'm just ****** Haye didn't survive as after the first round I slapped some money on Bellew to win on points
Also, proves what a complete **** Hearn is, celebrating that win, what a scumbag.

You'd see a different Haye if he went in vs AJ. Whether Haye knew his achilles was going to go and that's why he went for broke from the first bell or whether he took Bellew for granted, I'm not sure but as soon as the first 2 rounds passed he seemed to settle down and looked like he was in control of the fight up until his injury.
Yeah true! It's a shame he's done that in the past because before you couldn't see he was injured, but in this fight it was clear he could barely stand up or throw a punch, he's just made so many daft excuses in the past that the one time he's legitimately injured, his pride wouldn't let him say anything about it.
Edited to KO. Towel thrown in 5 rounds after a pretty bad injury and people think Bellew is now some sort of great fighter?
So much this. Haye should have broke him down over the first 4 that was the mistake he made.
You know he holds a wbc belt right? Hes pretty good yea.
Basically you're saying he made a mistake by getting injured...

Yeah, i'm sure if he knew he was going to get injured he'd have tried to do that.

I think there was a slight slip at some point which might well have been the thing that took out his achilles. Could have been a different injury, it looks very knee like to me. I mean he was somewhat slapping his leg down but it looked like he couldn't lock out his knee. Meh, maybe they look the same, when my knee goes out on me I can barely balance because I just can't lock my knee out, they just bend when you'd think they will stay up.
Also for me when my knee goes it will be because of one slightly abnormal move, a slip is just something you don't react to in a trained/normal way and that is often how a tendon/ligament will go, something against normal movement that your muscle's normal behaviour isn't ready to prevent happening.
Replay just now really makes it look like his knee went.

Do they? He's tough man and decent boxer.

Talking Deontay Wilder next?
Wilder's limited but, strewth, not much of a contest that one.

That's what he should have done. Going for a single big punch is crazy.
Wilder is awful, i wouldnt write Bellew off tbh.

Bellew telling Hearn to clear off is absolutely awesome.
