I do not see it being a real big deal knocking out the Worlds Number 128th best light Heavyweight in One Rd: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=83635&cat=boxer Yes he has knocked out 15 out of his 16 wins, but with a closer analysis, only 5 of these wins had a winning record at the time of fight. His record against fighters with winning record was prior to last night 5 wins, 6 losses. His claim to fame is he went 10 rounds against Robert Stieglitz, a SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT. Dont get me wrong, I am glad Tony Bellow won, but to go mental after winning that is the equivalent to Manchester City players going daft after they beat Scunthorpe 5-1.
Anyone who has beat him has to be decent by the looks of it. Going 10 rounds with Rudolf Kraj who was the favorite to take the WBC title from fragomeni at cruiserweight, Going 4 and 5 round with Monrose another cruiser. then losing to Stieglitz after 10 Bellew taking him in one says that he has power at least also the manner he finished him not just shitting arm shots until the ref stepped in proper powerful positioned shots to finish him off referee stoppage or not.
Velecky is now currently ranked 128th - by Boxrec, I'll add - in the world after being KTFO in one round in his last fight by Bellew. Your arguement is severely flawed:good.
Who gives a **** what Boxrec say about his rating? They have countless **** rankings, and the point is who Velecky has been in with and how he has handled himself. It was a step up, a test and the smashing machine iced him, so pipe it.
The manner in which he won surpasses that of guys like Kraj, Stieglitz and Monrose. Plus his power meant Bellew was risking a Prescott part 2.
