    About a third of people on here picked Bellew actually.

    Boxing for me is about passion and I do too many times go with my hart, smigga v Degale and I was one of them who could only see Tony becoming champion of the world nothing else would enter my head. Thios is why I love the sport of Boxing so much and the lads give there all .

    I thought Bellew would be stopped before 9 but he hung in in a good fight, the comentaters were going on about bellews jab, but he hardley got through, hitting mainly gloves in fights first half. Cleverly is tough and game with a big engine, but lacks power at world class. ie he landed cleaner and more often than Ajisaf or Mckenzie. So in world class terms both lack the extra elements needed to beat the Pascals, Dawsons, Hopkins, of the division. they are both good euro level fighters who are very entertaining to watch.

    You go from nearly predicting a first round stoppage victory for Cleverly to saying NO ONE in the world can stop Bellew :huh

    None of us know anything mate. It's one of the things I've learnt about boxing. I know little and many others know less and many more know more.

    This should be apparent by now given you've been here over a year?

    Clev KO2 in the rematch though :hey

    i agree with this, coz there are things that i know i know, and other things that i know i don't know. then there are known unknowns plus the unknown things that i don't know. hope this makes it clear :nut

    Which I stated clearly in my OP. And which part of my OP did you not agree with?

    I picked Bellew and bet a few quid on him and I felt the fight was a draw.

    The main point I was trying to make was all these so called expert journalists and many so called boxing-know-it-alls claimed it was a mismatch when it clearly was not. People have said you can only judge him on past performances. But if you had done, you still could have seen this was a 50/50 fight. Because at the end of the day you do not go from Domestic Bum to World Level in 8 weeks of training, it is impossible. So clearly Bellew had it all along, yet all these know-it-alls got it very wrong.

    You've lost me mate. If you are implying I contradicted myself with the Clev first round KO part, what I meant there was so many people were making out it was a mismatch that even though I was confident Bellew would at least hold his own in there, they had got in my head and I started to question my own prediction, that is what I meant there.

    My fault here for not explaining myself more clearly (it was late at night and I was tired). I was so convinced Bellew was going to win (at minimum hold his own) yet I had read every article on the internet regarding the fight, watched every pre-fight prediction video, read plenty of posts on here, listened to all my friends. Most people were making out this was a mismatch. All these people got in to my head and made me doubt my own opinion/prediction and I was thinking maybe I am making this prediction solely on heart and in reality Bellew has no chance. So when we were making our final predictions, I almost said Clev TKO to be on the safe side and not make a fool of myself, but I stuck to my original prediction.
