Whyte should have mentioned the drug stuff more,at that time he was not a Matchroom Fighter so he could have said anything he wanted,it definitely would've got into AJ's head.
Drug dealers are trash which means his trash and everyone giving fury trash and even provetkin over PED's never mention he was a dealer And am not even a fury or povetkin fan
I watched it in the pub and couldn't hear the commentary - sounds like I was lucky in that respect. Whenever Bellew is neutral he talks a good game. But he knows if he wants those Sky pay cheques to keep rolling in the one thing he must do is blow AJ.
Even by Sky's standards it was poor. Andy Clarke should be on the main events, he's the best they have. Him and Andy Lee would probably be the best, if not then Macklin. Macklin can be a little bias but I can stomach him.
I guess we'll find out if he is goes for the 365 VADA testing. Seems the WBA will be bringing it in soon. Currently he isn't on that and doesn't fight very regularly so I can see why he arouses some suspicion. Though until someone fails a test I wouldn't personally say anything as concrete.
Oh yeah, I agree. Tyson would push his buttons (just like he does everybody else). AJ, IMHO, will turn "heel" one day. It will just come out one day.
Another thing Bellew said. "it's been DECADES since a heavyweight title challenger has come in on 2 weeks notice" "usually the fight is cancelled" Well, "DECADES" is a bit of an exaggeration there, Tony. "6 MONTHS" would be more accurate. May 2017, Parker faced Razvan Cojanu in WBO title defense after Hughie Fury pulled out 2 weeks before fight night.
This "Put to sleep" lark gets right on my jugs. Can you not say Knock-out like every other boxer, Tony?
[/QUOTE] Showtime, HBO and even ITV are far more professional. Watching sky you feel as if your watching a local pub event with some special guest turn outs of celebrities for the common man to gush over.
His stupid fat dad with his stupid fat grinn plastered over his stupid vacant fat head, really grinds my gears.

Maybe that is why AJ came in heavier. So when he loses like 20 - 30 pounds he can be like the heavier weight didn't suit me. When in reality he can't support it without protein shakes...
The whole thing makes you cringe the worst was when he was saying Boo then telling the fans to boo hearn can't wait to watch it come crashing down
