    I think that's fair. I don't mind any scorecard as long as it's close, really, and Hearn is right to say neither man won easily. It was a close fight, though Chilemba will be kicking himself. The rounds he won were easy for him but he threw rounds away by being so quiet.

    I hope there isn't a rematch, though there probably will be one. It was a clash of styles which produced a horrible bout.

    Hopefully Bellew can learn from this tough fight. People who are writing him off now will be proven wrong, I think. He'll be back as an improved fighter, like he always has been.

    Bellew got out-boxed, end of story, Chad Dawson would absolutely take him apart and even though he's fighting **** opposition as world champion, I'd fancy Cleverly to beat him even easier in a rematch.

    Most of bellew's fights are horrible. when he trys to box he looks like **** and barely lands,when he goes hell for leather he ends up on his arse.bellew is a fraud.

    They all seemed to know that Bellew hadn't won. I had Bellew up by one round, but who could argue really? As terrible as Watt and Halling were, I agreed that Chilemba was a spoiler. That is Eddie's fault and he must know that this fight ruined a very good card, a real anti-climax that could have been avoided.

    If getting the WBC mandatory means fighting Chilemba again, don't ****ing bother. Why would Eddie want to take another fighter to America to lose? Go a different route, give up that silly silver title and fight people who actually like a scrap.

    If they do a rematch, it shouldn't be a main event.

    Yep. Fair play to Eddie for that interview. While I hope allegedly recovers from the last few months, and they both drive each other on, it is fair to say that Eddie beats allegedly in the man stakes by a country mile.

    I liked what Eddie had to say, but I doubt whether Tony Bellew did...

    Who of the champions can he beat, considering he's already lost to the worst of them?

    He won't learn anything unless he can acknowledge that he didn't win the fight.

    As for him being an improved fighter, he seems to have actually gone downhill since the Cleverly fight. He doesn't seem to know how he wants to fight half the time, he needs to ditch this "3 plans" philosophy and stop believing he can be Roy Jones one minute and Mike Tyson the next.

    I think that's Bellew's problem. He doesn't appear to take other people's opinions very well.

    I don't know much about his training set up, but is he surrounded by 'yes' men?
