    Some power in those shots from Bellew
    Got caught in the 1st but that was pretty impressive

    Fantastic atmosphere and two big hitters. Brutal but great viewing.

    Didn't see the knockout coming at all. Decent scrap albeit quite short lived. He called out David Haye in the post fight interview and Haye has hit back today setting up a potential clash somewhere down the line.

    Haye would knock him out in about 2 minutes. Bellew must know it's nearly retirement time and wants a payday.

    Could Haye cut down to a weight to fight Bellew though? He'd have to cut 24-25 lbs to get down to cruiser weight.

    He probably couldn't and I doubt he'd want to.

    Cruiserweight is about as unglamorous as it gets in boxing, you only have to look at how people talk down David Hayes career, and to a lesser extent Evander Holyfields, to realise that. People seem totally unaware of their considerable achievements before they stepped up to heavyweight.

    There's far bigger pay days for Haye at heavyweight and he'll fight 1 of Joshua, Fury or Wilder in the not so distant future. He needs Bellew less than Bellew needs him.

    Any thoughts on pros at the Olympics? Bellew was spot on saying it would be dangerous

    Pretty sure some high profile names like Amir Khan, Manny Pacquiao and Wladimir Klitschko have all expressed an interest in boxing at the Olympics. Most pro boxers have condemned it though from what I can see.

    Yeah I saw khan said he would like to represent Pakistan dunno how that would work as he had already represented the UK

    I personally don't think that many would pros would go to the Olympics I also think people are doing the current amateurs a diservice I think over 3 rounds experienced pros would struggle against the best amateurs

    On sky sports, Bellew is apparently in talks with haye. Personally, I think Haye would be to powerful for him
