Tony Bellew vs Oliver Mckenzie lets make it happen

Erm, Oliver?

 

Yep, Oliver McKenzie, Michelin Star Chef.

 

make the ****ing fight happen.

 

Nah Bellew should stick to pro boxing.

 

This fight will take place soon enough guys..

 

I like the way you ran over to that bald guy the other night super fast when he turned he's head around to look his corner, and then knocked him out.:good

 

I don't think McKenzie is a big threat to Tony...

Why not Tony Oakey? He's not doing anything is he...? I'm sure he's the type that would get in the ring with anybody, especially an upcomer like Bellew that gives him the chance to prove he's still one of the best in Britain. It would be a good fight, Oakey is tough, high work-rate, but not too dangerous with single punches. If Bellew could beat him and maybe knock him out he's already gone one better than Cleverly.

 

McKenzie isn't near Bellews class. Unfortunately though these are the fights he's gonna have to take in order to start progressing. Everybody seems to rate the lad and rightly so.

Hatton needs to put Oakey in there now but we know he wont coz that'll end up......

Warren 10-9 Hatton :deal

 

That would be foolish, there is not exactly any point in holding a guy like Oakey back. How can you protect Tony Oakey? The guy is a seasoned vet, if he's not fighting the best in Britain he may as well pack up, thats why he fought Prizefighter to get back up there. And Bellew is the man to fight at the moment.

Cleverly was brought up well IMO, apart from the few Afrobums, he fought a decent guy in Vegas, Oakey is very experienced and tough, McIntosh was an undefeated young contender, Fry was probably the best of the rest except for Bellew. Now he's fighting for the European title.

I'd like to see Bellew follow the same sort of path, I think he's past the McKenzie stage. People forget in the Euphoria of his Prizefighter upset that he was outpointed by Tony Salam and Bob Ajisafe not long ago, you wouldn't put them in the same post code as Bellew.

 

50/50?

Okay, if he gets time to prepare I'll take Evens odds with you.

 

McKenzie is a live dog for 2 rounds after that he has always been there for the taking & Bellew will take him

I see it as a good match-up, nice experience builder. I think his record is a little deceiving (he looked to have beaten Ajisafe in my opinion and has a lot of early points losses), but he is not near Bellew in terms of talent. He may have the edge in experience, but he doesn't use it well (he is poor at pacing himself, its why Prizefighter suited him) so I can only see it as Bellew stopping him in the middle rounds. Still, Ovill is a nice name for Sky to be able to promote and will get Bellew some nice exposure if the fight were to happen.

Whoever said it was '50-50' :nut
