I watched the fight last night, apart from a few rounds at the start, the other guy was clearly the better man. I mean, one round must have been 8-10, then the challenger must have won at least two if not three of the last three rounds. Some of the middle rounds were pretty close. The fight should never have been 2/3 let alone 5 rounds up for Bellew. I mean Bellew had his success early on, but do you win a fight with missing swings when a guy is countering and jabbing you? The moral victory is with Bob Ajisafe for sure. Well done for a good fight. I liked the way they blamed the opponent for the fight afterwards too! atsch Someone got out of jail last night, the biggest laugh of all was Nathan Cleverly was watching someone struggling for his vacated commonwealth title. Roll on December!
sky commentators were a disgrace, completely ignored it when ajisafe landed anything. In my opinion he outboxed Bellew last night after weathering the early storm. He put him on the seat of his pants in the 4th and finished stronger, Bellew took the first 3 and edged a few middle rounds, should have been a draw at best.
Yes mate, the commentators had zero respect for Bob and were putting everything down to Bellew being under par rather them him doing effective (though ugly) work.
I'm glad you both said that. I thought I was mad, I thought Bob Ajisafe had won and that we were going to get a draw announced. :blood
I had Bellew winning by a few rounds, Bob wasn't ambitious enough to be stealing the close rounds IMO. Tough to score I suppose, Bob was aqward but not exactly 'outboxing' Bellew.
I was there and have watched it on TV today bomber won, bob never done enough. Bomber landed more was the aggressor and tool the centre of ring he wasn't convincing BUT he will bounce back and show he is a very good boxer.
