Liverpool weigh in today.. Interesting

ill be suprised if bellew stops this guiy.

 

Is it possible Bellew might lose this one ?! Am i right in saying that the oponent was changed quite late? from a short dude to now a bigger one? (apologies for my ignorance and lazniess of not looking this up !) the guy he has now apparantly has a decent pop on him and is pretty tough.... Take Bellews condition into account and the time out the ring and he has been rocked at Cruiser before. I aint saying he will lose but do guys think this maybe a possiblity?

 

if i were to pick an upset out of all of these mismatches. this would be the one.

 

Bellew wont stop him, no chance. The guy doesn't get stopped by big heavyweight that outweigh him by 40lb's but I do think that Bellew will box to a comfortable decision, whilst being rocked at some point.

 

When will fans realise that body composition =/= being "out of shape" or unconditioned?

Bellew has done 12 rounds numerous times with this sort of body composition. Cain Velasquez has the best cardio in the UFC (aside from the recent fight at altitude lol) and his bodyfat percentage looks to be higher than Bellew's. Haye was chiselled and gassed against Chisora and Thompson.

Bellew has had 15 12-round bouts on the spin, his endurance had never been a real problem for him.

 

Bellew was blowing out of his @rse against Cleverly, but luckily for him he was up against someone who was even more gassed.

 

Shyte card with bookmakers prices sub 1/10 for all excpet Fielding at 1/3.

Absolute shyte canfest yet again.

 

He only tired a little in the rematch because Cleverly sat on the ropes and Tony spent the entire final six rounds stupidly throwing wild punches non stop in an attempt to take him out. Bellew's conditioning in the ring has never been a major issue and is far better than a lot of boxers who come in to fights at <10%bf - that's the main point I'm trying to make. Lardy Tyson Fury does 12 rounds for fun when he trains properly.

 

Ok so what is the benefit to having excess body fat?

 

PS Iv never EVER seen a fat long distance runner at least one that is a competing athlete .... y do u think that is?

 

keeps you warm.

 

ok besides the guys thot dont got a woman to do that :tong

 

Anything under 12st7 is classed as SMW you only need to make 12st championship weight for a title fight

 

Go and watch Cain Velasquez fight and then come back to me and explain to me how excess bodyfat hinders his performances in any way.

Excess bodyfat is not exactly advantageous in boxing - I never said it was. But it does not necessarily hinder cardiovascular conditioning and muscular endurance.

Maybe Bellew will turn out to be in poor condition tomorrow night. My simple point is don't come to that conclusion on the sole basis that he is looking chubby.
