He tried to light the fireworks early.. then he got cut. If he fought like he did in the first few rounds threw the whole fight he probably would of lost.
**** off Jim Watt he did not keep it entertaining. Yes Halling, ref let it go on cos Bellew is the home fighter. If the Argie was cut he'd have been looking to stop it.
Bellew is a solid boxer puncher looks so much better when he boxes and I think that should be his style box from the off and his respectable but not outstanding power will get him a stoppage over the distance.
120-106 Bellew Decent performance by Tony, got a little over excited early on & was headhunting too often. After the nasty cut he boxed better but Balonti didnt show much ambition.
lets be honest that argie was a bit mediocre. bellew did what he had to. :smoke jury is still out in terms of beating the world champs. if hearn is really confident how about gabriel campillo next. :bbb
Who did he beat to become a world champ? Alesksy Kuziemski :rofl:rofl:rofl. The best fighter he has faced in Tony Bellew, a proven world class boxer:rofl:rofl. Clev aint world class beacuse he has never fought or beat a world class fighter. Being handed a title does not make you world class.
