Just watched Bolanti. I'm a little worried.... Worried i've put 7 rounds to bloody late!. Bellew should batter this guy. He's slow and crude. He digs with right hand but Bellew should in no way be backing up in this one he should attack this guy and send him out of there. This guy is a joker though, does faces and when he sparked his man (brutal) he waved to say it's over .
Is Bolonti durable? From the clips I watched he looks as though he'll be easy for Bellew to hit but never saw his chin tested ... :think
Bolonti is decent going forward but awful on the back foot. Bellers must attack this fellow and bang him on the chen.
Would not be surprised at all if Bellew stops him in three...and then Sky will go overboard in their hype.
Yeah i do wonder if Tony will do that taking his time thing and wander the ring countering and just slowly break him down. I think this is sort of fight where he should go at his man, Pavlik vs Miranda style and show Bolanti he's the man and break him from get go. These are sort of fighters you let them settle they stay around for longer then needed.
We don't know what Bolonti's durability is like at this level. He may look slow, crude and not put Bellew in any trouble but if his chin is good enough, he can stick around. The likes of Tackie, N'dou have done so for years. Bellew is not a seek and destroy fighter as he proclaims. Wisely so IMO.
Bellew needs to be more positive after his last fight and he's been all over Sky saying he is going on the offensive I'm think 11/8 for Under 6 Rounds could be decent
