thought the exact same haha!! he must be signing with matchroom very soon. for me bellew is the most exciting fighter in the country, speaks well, fights well and he can go onto bigger things, a rematch with clev where he sparks him is deffo on the cards
Yep, clear as day Bellew's above British level now. He is the equal of Cleverly no doubt but his realism is what impresses me, he knows that he's not quite at 'world level' (Hopkins, Pascal, Dawson) yet so should take the right route. Taking the Euro belt of Gutneckt next would be what I'd target if i were him.
Very impressive performance from Tony. Macintosh has Khan like defense, great finish. Eddie celebrating with Bellew at the end :rofl Frank must be sitting at home pulling his hair out.
I said a long while back it would be a spectacular ending and it sure was. Beatdown! Danny had heart but so flawed and Tony's just improving with each display looking a really good fighter now and IMO a European title and a few defences over next 12 months should be on agenda.
This, he's top 3 at European level, I thought he nicked the Cleverly fight. Onwards and upwards for Tony now.
Hearn certainly looked very happy Bellew won! Shame we won't see Bellew - Clev again. Bellew nicked it first time anyway, as would beat him again. Really was a good performance. But Danny Mac is crap. I know he won the European away from home, but he was completely dominated in that before the stoppage.
Bellew masterclass there, he could've stepped it up anytime but fought patiently, impressive. Bring out the Rat!
There is not a slight difference in power between Cleverly and Bellew though, it's quite significantly in Bellew's favour from the evidence we've seen so far.
