    I suppose I probably overrated Miranda at the time, I didn't know anything about Chilemba going in and I thought he handled Miranda quite well. Having seen how Bellew handled a not much older Miranda though I'm not sure.

    I did feel Chilemba could go on to better things after the Miranda fight though, yes.

    No but he drew with him, his name is Thomas Ozzuthien (or something like that)

    I think Bellew will start to dominate in the later rounds. He might get a stoppage but I think a points decision is the best bet. Bellew 8-4.

    Chilemba was hurt by a relatively non-punching Russian so theres a chance Bellew could bomb him out.

    Aside from that possibility, it looks a good well matched fight.

    Just watched a little bit of Chilemba on Youtube. From what I've seen so far from him I must say I think he and Bellew are very similar in terms of style.

    He has a solid jab which he likes to lead with and but also tries to throw big damaging punches a lot to back opponents up, just like Tony does. This fight looks like it's going to be a really good, interesting match-up.

    Ticket prices seem very good for this, clearly trying to sell it out with lower ticket prices! Another sign of new age promoting :good

    I got similar seats for Brook & Froch last fights (front rows of lower tier) and I paid £60 & £80
