How did you score Bellew-Chilemba?

Thought Tony won the first 3-4 rounds then struggled in the mid rounds but won the last 2. I think he won either the 8th or 9th as well so I had it to Bellew by 1.

Didn't really think Chilemba was throwing enough punches to win rounds, he wasn't getting through regularly. Quite a few rounds seemed to be very close so I can see why people have quite a wide range of scorecards.

 

Had it a draw last night in the arena, but just rewatched it and had it to Chilemba by 1

 

Some of the fans there last night were absolutely crap.

I think every time Derry or Tony got hit the lads behind me were saing they were about to go.

Never seen a fighter 'about to go' over 25 times in a fight and not 'go'.

 

Had chilemba by two gave him d 5th and the last 6

 

In the heat of the battle I scored the fight as follows:

Bellew 117 - Chilemba 111, after re-watching the fight I have Bellew 116 - Chilemba 112

Gentlemen, how did Isaac Chilemba put 7 or more rounds in the bank? What has boxing come to when a fighter who applies himself in a survival first mode for 3 quarters of a fight due to pressure applied by his opponent, walks away with a fight that goes the distance?!!

Bellew was robbed, Chilemba lost the fight Bellew never won it! Thats how I seen it, I'm not going to sit here and say Bellew was great because we all know Tony isnt great, but he won the fight, he won the fight on pressure! he put the first 5 rounds in the bank and took a couple if not a few of the closer rounds down the stretch, it was cut and dry.

People who had Chilemba winning this fight are either a) non fans of Bellew for the endless list of reasons Bellew brings on himself, or b) do not understand the dynamics of winning or losing a fight!

Bellew was robbed

Gentlemen

Give some input, **** the 1 liners off! it gives the forum a bad name, specially coming from 2 regulars! Dont be sheep, get your **** out in the open

Edit; 1 regular

 

Let the hangover wear off, then watch the fight again. Ridiculous post, and most would agree with me. I had Chilemba winning by a point and the reason is, he was the only one landing clean shots. Just because the commentators never acknowledged them doesn't mean they never happened. Anyone who watched the fight sober could see at least a dozen clean right hands that the commentators never mentioned. He was also very effective with the jab and didn't have much trouble landing. After the telling off he received from Buddy McGirt, Chilemba upped the work rate, and at times made Bellew look very poor. It was clear to see whenever Bellew threw his flurries he wasn't landing on anything except gloves and arms. Speaking of work rate, what happened to Tony's from round 6 onwards? Just because the crowd and commentators get excited doesn't mean any punches landed when Bellew flurried while Chilemba was against the ropes. It's you who doesn't seem to understand the dynamics of winning/losing a fight. The poll speaks for itself. Remember that this fight was in liverpool, and still only one judge felt Bellew won, and he gave it to him by a point! Also remember that this forum has a lot of Love for Bellew, and yet the poll has spoken out in favor of Chilemba. Pauliemc, a scouse, Bellew fan who watched it live feels the same. His own fans know he was lucky to get a draw! Why was there a lack of boos when the decision was announced?

 

Chilemba landed the cleaner, more effective punches, controlled the centre of the ring from round 5 onwards and was defensively better.

Bellew landed absolutely nothing after about round 4 and seemed to take his foot off the ga for some reason. It was as if he thought "I'm 3-1 up now, the fights in the bag, I'll just survive." Chilemba wanted it more and deserved the win, there's no way Bellew won that. Absolute best you can give him is a draw and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt in all the close rounds.

SKY were an absolute disgrace.

 

Bellew out worked Chilemba in he first 3 IMO, even though he didn't land **** all, neither did Isaac. After that Chilemba started picking Bellew off with clean shots, winning most of the rounds very convincingly, I gave Tony one of he middle rounds and he last, 7-5 Chilemba, he did the much better work.

 

I had Bellow winning due to activity and dominance in the earlier rounds. But I watched it on a shitty stream so not sure if he was landing clean or not. Guess I'll have to watch it again.

 

Im training for a triathlon mate, I dont drink!

Chilemba got told off in 5 or 6 cant remember, by that stage he had lost every round, Bellew put at least, at least the first 4 in the bank, I gave him the first 5, then Chilemba took 2 on the spin and I had Bellew taking the majority of the rounds down the stretch simply because Chilemba was doing next to nothing!

Chilemba did not do enough!

I agree with what you are saying, Chilemba done the better work, there just wasnt enough of it, for every 5 or 6 assaults Bellew made on Chilemba (on average) he would hit Bellew with one or two clean shots, most of which were single jabs at full length with no intention of backing up with even 2 punch combinations let alone 3 or 4! Shitty ****in scoring

Chilemba was being forced back and he was being forced to defend, he was not pot-shotting Bellew in some sort of schooling, he was under fire! Bellew was at least throwing combo's, working off a jab into something more offensively relevant

I DO NOT repeat DO NOT! understand how Chilemba was winnijg rounds, he was surviving for most of the fight, over the first 3 rounds he was literally being bullied, he couldnt even get a jab off!

 

I had Bellew up by two close rounds but nobody really deserved to win

 

I think the perfect way to summarise that fight would be that Tony lost it, Chilemba didn't win it.

Anyone who had Tony winning needs to learn to score. Anyone who had Chilemba winning by anymore than 2 needs to give their head a shake.

Bellew wasn't destroyed or outclassed last night by any stretch of the imagination, don't try to spin it it like that. He just got his tactics badly wrong. He needs to watch that fight back a 1000 thousands times and pick it apart like a ****ing surgeon, really spot all the mistakes he made and work on correcting them. As for the poor sportsmanship like the shoving and nutting Chilemba, he has to cut that out too. We all know Tony's a hotheaded and passionate guy but he can't let that passion turn him into a nasty *****, that's not why fans like him so much.

Rematch and see who the better man truly is, only way to settle this.
