    Bad but not as bad as George Foreman.

    George had Trinidad beating Hopkins until the 11th.

    Have to agree. Chilemba boxed well. He wasn't that bad. Nowhere near. The early rounds he was relaxed but the 3rd he edged into proceedings and Bellew backed off and allowed Chilemba into it in middle rounds.
     
  7. Chilemba must have landed two dozen good clean shots that were not even mentioned by Watt and Halling

    Yep. They both have there moments of course, but tonight was the worst that I've heard in a long while. From about the 10th they were talking about the fight as if Tony was simply closing it out despite Chilemba winning the previous 3 or so rounds.

    I have to agree aswell,they will have the casuals thinking it was a bad robery when it was a very close fight

    Baffled how they could give Bellew round 5. Don't recall Tony landing a single punch in that round, and got countered a few times.

    **** commentary. They completely ignored work that Chilemba was putting in.

    English commentators are something else, i think they put me off some fighters
    At least american commentators give anyone who is fighting their props if they do a good counter or something
    Some of the rounds Chilemba completely bossed and then the close rounds Bellew won they
    were like "GOOD GOOD round for Bellew"
    There should be an option to turn it off

    They were completely ignoring counters that Chilemba was landing, it was strange. They of course creamed themselves when Bellew would throw a flurry of punches (despite none of them landing).

    :deal my mate just said the exact same thing. And if Chilemba had turned up a couple rounds earlier he would have won it comfortably.
