tony bellew as a pundit.

sometimes in press conferences before his fights he says silly things.

but as a boxing pundit he is superb, and getting better and better.

listened to him on the ed robinson / spencer fearon podcast today and he was very good, its really worth hearing....he talked about cleverly v kovalev and gave his opinion on how all fights don't need to be won by stoppage and how there are smarter ways of boxing a banger over the distance......basically he spoke very intelligently and was, again, very articulate.

don't know about the rest of you, but i'd like to see more of him giving his opinions on televised boxing shows and podcasts and the like.

 

Yea I agree. I didn't mind him as a pundit.. Which I was pretty amazed at. As usually I find him an annoying **** Wit.

 

He's great, I rate him highly. Guys like him, Macklin and Moore REALLY know their stuff.

Tony always looks stoned/very sleepy, though! Haha.

 

Good pundit as is Paul Smith

 

Spencer Oliver is another.

 

he would be fantastic if he didnt sound like he was speaking with a mouthful of sherbert

 

They should get rid of Jim watt, glenn McCrory and Nicky piper they old hat now like sky sports football got rid of andy Gray and Richard keys and replace them with Neville and carragher get some pundit that the new generation know and have grown up watching

 

I agree. A lot of boxers don't seem to follow the sport that closely but you can tell Bellew is a passionate fan as well as an accomplished professional.

 

Would much prefer to listen to Bellew or Moore all day long than Watt or McCrory agree time for some new blood & new views.Bellew has a knowledge of while still being active you can tell he follows the game closely.

Watched the BT sport Boxing programme today as a presenter always thought Paul Dempsey was very good asks decent questions without blowing smoke up the fighters in the studio.

 

Bellow is doing a good job.

The only criticism I have of him is he defends David Haye more than I think he should.

 

he's better at talking then he is at fighting, his last couple of fights have been boring.

 

Bingo!
Those that can-do,those that can't -teach.:deal

 

Say what you like about his fight persona, but as a pundit he is intelligent, articulate and most of all knows the game inside out and has just great boxing knowledge.

Enjoy listening to him.

 

and those that can't teach , teach gym.

 

Time for some new blood. Haye, Froch and Bellew can do a cracking job and can alternate depending on their fight commitments.
