Tony Bellew vs. Danny McIntosh RBR

Bellew is "over the moon".

He gives his coaches credit, 100%.

He says he boxed to game plan, and gives McIntosh respect for his credentials and punch and mental ability to dig deep. He thinks Danny is a lovely kid and great fighter, but it was his night tonight and he stuck to game plan and scored a good shot.

He says he had to make a statement tonight following the loss to Cleverly. He says Nathan doesn't want any part of a rematch. Promises were broken, they'd agreed to rematch. Cleverly is trying to duck him. Bellew is trying to make a statement now every time out to force the rematch. He'll do it in Wales, he doesn't care.

He is very humble, says he doesn't know where he levels off (as far as domestic/Euro/world) but says that he considers himself undefeated as a pro. He says that he doesn't even consider himself the most talented guy from his own region but that he'll aim to make best of the talent he's got and see how far it takes him.

 

This is what I thought. :conf

 

Watson vs. Cook was canceled yesterday.

Watto is fighting Darren Hamilton instead.

Should be coming up soon.

 

Why did you hate him? :think

I've always found him to be a humble, well-spoken, blue-collar kid.

 

Carl Froch and David Price are giving mixed compliments to Bellew's performance.

Froch says McIntosh walked straight into the punch, but still gives Bellew respect for finishing an overmatched opponent in style.

Price says that McIntosh was barely Euro level while Bellew is world level.

Paul Smith is interviewed at ringside by Adam Smith, and agrees that Bellew is world class.

Nevermind, they're only showing bits and pieces of it. Picking up from start of round three.
