    Disgusting

    Hi comments about Brook quitting.

    He has had some terrible fights namely getting smashed about by a midget lhw which he was scared stiff and hardly tried. He quit basically 10x worse than brook did. Brook fought like a warrior the 10th rd prob best rd I've seen for a while .

    I usually like Bellew.. He is a complete chav but something about him I like. But his ego needs checking . He had no humility or awareness about beating up cripple with a flipper foot. Goes on like he's the badest fighter ever.. He scares himself hes so bad as he doesnt know what quitting is and would die in the ring (apparently)

    Worse thing that could happen to this bell was beating Haye.

    Now we have to listen to his incessant bs.

    Let's see you fight a dangerous puncher when your face is smashed in . And thoughts of your last fight where the same thing happened.

    Would expect better off another fighter but bellew is clearly a ******. It's different if it was a real
    Warrior say that with an unblemished fight history of showing true grit. That's not bellew. He **** it against the pimp

    It is not a big secret I have a strong dislike for Bellew, however I see where he is coming from. My view is similar on Brook although I think I would have tried to word it differently.

    The fact is, it seems that Brook is now mentally scarred, and prone to bad facial injuries. When these injuries occur he seems to be already beaten, in his mind. What Bellew said, and I agree, is you can not come into the ring if your mind is fragile in this way. Maybe it is time for Kell to hang up his gloves, because when you have doubts about yourself in the ring, that is the time you can get seriously hurt.

    Hearn snubbed Bellew after and was furious with him for his comments !

    Bellew has major delusions of grandeur. The truth of the matter is that he barely managed to beat a one legged fighter. Literally couldn't put a dent in him. Imagine if Spence or Brook had torn their Achilles in their mid fight last night. The other guy would have bodied him in seconds.

    It's up to Bellew whether he wants to criticise Brook. My stance on this is that if you are not a fighter who has been in this situation you can't comment. Paulie fought it out against Cotto with the same injury so I guess Bellew's comments have a little substance. But Bellew did fight pathetically against Stevenson and his performance against Haye was an embarrassment and it's comical that he can't see how stupid he sounds at times.

    My point was merely I agree with Bellew, brook isn't a warrior. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's just a fact.

    Not surprised at all, he had a broken eye socket ffs not a broken finger/hand. Bellew was out of order last night, Brook got beat up it happens. Is it really worth losing your eyesight?

    I used to dislike Bellew.

    But you HAVE to commend the fact he says what he thinks and doesn't bow down to anybody, including Sky or Hearn. It is truely refreshing.

    I ****ing despise biased commentators, Bt is the worst IMO.

    Your last fight you have to have a plate put in your face and you take 50 punches on the only good eye you have and it seems same thing has happened .

    At what point do you call it a day when you are blind in both eyes?

    Oh great I will be rem as a real warrior but I'm ****ing blind for the rest of my life. Clever real clever

    Bellew would have quit much earlier believe me

    The bloke is married and has kids. The last time his eye socket got smashed the doctor told him he could have gone blind. I completely understand why he stopped. Boxing is not worth permanently losing your eyesight for.

    If you're gonna have a go at Bellew you may as well throw Eubank Jn in the mix too with his tweet. A bloke who has achieved nothing in the sport yet.

    Bellew judged it how he saw it. We all thought Brook had given in at first. Had Bellew known that it was a fractured eye socket and the lad was seeing double then I doubt he'd have said what he said. He's the first one to advocate the importance of a fighters health.

    I don't think any less of Brook as a boxer he's got kids he was taking a beating severely injured more to life than boxing

    Also Bellew likes to harp on about how he'd be willing to risk permanent injury and or die in the ring before he quit yet in the next breath talks about how nothing is more important than his children. The bloke is full of **** and has become unbearable since beating Haye.
