Did anybody see Tony 'Bomber' Bellew fight. Velecky was a tough test and Bomber made him look like a bum with a 1st round stopage and a display of awesome :bbbpower.
I would like to see him against Danny McIntosh for the English belt with the winner vs Tony Oakey. By that time Cleverly will have moved onto Europe. Cleverly is the real deal, and Bellew should use him as a yard stick rather than an opponent at this stage of his career.
Clev v Bellew wont happen coz frank warren wont let it happen, why should he risk 2 unbeaten fighters. but i think we would all love to see it
still think he needs a fight or 2 more before clev fight. but then again, if you let clev have another fight or two, he might have put himself out of bellews reach for the time being, depending on how those fights pan out.
Would like to see Bellew-Dilks next. Easy fight to sell. Local rivalry and a good bit of needle.Cant see Dilks wanting any of it though. Oakey would be a great fight for Tony.
Bellew will beat Cleverly in a few fights time, Deffinetly fink he should fight Mcintosh and then Oakey.
First time I've had a chance to see Bellew and thought he did fantastic. Looks like he will have a very good career ahead of him. Perhaps British boxing is better than we thought with all these good fighters coming through
Macintosh fights Oakey soon for English title. Tony fights again in December - maybe for Commonwealth title... Oakey would be a tough fight for Anthony, he's a warrior. Would be a good measure to see how he handles him compared to Clev. Macintosh is an easy fight for him - no defence and no chin...if Clev can knock him down several times imagine what happens when Ant connects...goodnight. People need to know that he's also a very, very good boxer with an awesome jab. Last night he destroyed the bloke but he was ready to box him and wear him down, it just happened quick that's all. He's not just a puncher, he can really box too....
I agree with the guys that are saying Oakey/ Dilks/ McIntosh. Cleverly has his Euro title date coming up, if both guys stay unbeaten then this time next year Bellew-Cleverly will be a great domestic fight.
I'd like to see them avoid each other for a bit to be honest. As good as a fight between them would be, here we have 2 potientially world class boxers in division where the marquee names are ageing and the title holders would be beatable. If either one suffers a defeat then it moves them back considerabely. I'd rather see Bellow follow in Clevs footsteps, Clev goes Euro to World, Bellow goes Brit / Common / Euro World and then if they are as good as their potential shows a worldtitle fight in 3/4 years.
What I would do with Tony in the next 2 fights it would give him a commonwealth title and also a world ranking. First of all he could fight for the vacant title against the Tongan Walter Pupu'a and provided he wins well put him in against the WBA ranked Tim Bell. Pupu'a just thought Bell and from the looks of the score card gave him a stiff test so that would be a good barometer for how he would do against Bell. After those 2 fights I would go after the British title.
I cannot see Bellew getting Cleverly for a few more fights, but I would back him to win should they meet. *What happened in the crowd during the degale fight, it looked like a fight was kicking off?
