    Round 5

    Right uppercut to the body by Bellew from a distance. McKenzie is circling without a forward step. Bellew tags him with jabs and forces him to either hop out of the way or fall in and grab. Another whipping right hand to the body by Bellew. The action is a bit sloppy as they grapple a bit, with Bellew squeezing out some body shots.

    10-9 Bellew

    Round 6

    They trade right hands and come clasped together. Bellew digs again to the body. Big 1-2 from McKenzie just barely brushes the chin of Bellew. Now McKenzie is stunned by a big right. The two try to get off big power punches inside but are a bit smothered. Another nice right hand by Bellew. McKenzie rips off an uppercut on the inside but is getting chased around the ring and bombed out with rights. Bellew suddenly gives up the straight punches and shoeshines with McKenzie against the ropes. McKenzie leaps to his left and lands a hook in midair.

    10-9 Bellew

    Round 7

    Bellew's pace is a bit slower this round. McKenzie takes advantage by pummeling Bellew into a corner. Bellew is trading with him and backs him off. BIG right hand by Bellew. Left hook from Bellew a moment later. McKenzie is circling narrowly around Bellew. He gets off a quick 1-2. Bellew lands a left hook to the body as McKenzie jumps on him. Right uppercut inside by Bellew. McKenzie now lands a left hook. Each man is firing from mid range and pulling away, meaning far fewer clinches. Big right from Bellew.

    10-9 Bellew

    Round 8

    Bellew is using the jab well. Big right hand lands on the chin, but McKenzie stands up to it. Bellew gets back behind his jab. McKenzie misses a big rising hook. Bellew smashes him flush on the face with a right hand. They get a grip on each other and bang with their free hands. Bellew is getting the slight better of it. McKenzie is now leaning against the ropes, breathing heavy. BIG left hook drops McKenzie. Bellew charges and hammers him and the referee stops it!

    Another standing TKO.

    Bellew has serious guts and a really good chin.

    He's also got some power in both hands, and a nice jab.

    Defense is the glaring weakness.
