Cruiser debut Stephen Smith & Callum Smith on the bill It will be interesting who they pick as the opponent If he was just on a big bill someone like Mose Matovu would be OK as a first fight back. I he is top of the bill I assume it will be an inter-continental strap and someone like Giacobbe Fragomeni would be tough enough without being too dangerous, + he would carry a good ranking.
Eddie Chambers rumoured which would be excellent matchmaking IMO. Smith-Saucedo in an eliminator Brook in a stay busy, Paul smith defending British, Dodson v Fielding plus like of Callum smith and Luke Campbell it's shaping up to be a great card
Great. Now we can all look forward to the deluded scouser big on about how he is better than a host of far more talented fighters following a win over some journeyman. Hopefully he gets iced quickly at cruiser weight so we don't have to put up with too much of his drivel.
Who's headlining this bill then? If it's Bellew then he should be in with a top 15 opponent from the WBC rankings.
Not when he was just in with Adonis Stevenson and he is expected to headline a show. Bellew is ranked in the WBC cruiserweight ratings already and i think he should be matched with another top 15 opponent to justify the ranking. I would be disappointed if he didn't anyway especially if he is meant to be headlining the show.
if Bellow is actually ranked at cruiserweight by WBC that just confirms how filthy and corrupt they are!what a joke... like when they made Khan No1 at 147 even though he had never fought at 147 then they changed their minds!!
The standard at cruiser isn't that great. Bellew though looks a bit small for some of the bigger cruisers and could get wiped out.
They should feed Bellew to Junior Makabu after Cleverly's arse dropped, or get Ola Afolabi in to sort him out good and proper.
Yep Bellew went straight in the top 10 after he announced he would be moving up to cruiserweight. That's why I would like to see him matched with another top 15 fighter to justify the ranking. After all Hearn said he would be pushing him into another title shot again.
that is plain crazy!! its so obviously building up to Bellow v Cleverley ..it wouldnt suprise me if its much sooner rather than later
Hopefully he wins a belt at Cruiserweight he always looked far 2 skinny & drained at LHW . Bellew is bold as , will fight anybody and takes sh!t from no 1 .
