    Tony saying he is willing to "die in the ring" is an absolute ridiculous thing to say. Surely you can only talk like that once you've been in a few decent fights

    There are bigger fights at CW, the CW division is a untapped gold mine. Tony Bellew will be stronger if he moves up in weight! But he seems focused and 175 for now! I think he is drained at the weight no matter what he says, but that has been a part of life for many boxers for time "Which i disagree with".

    You could believe it when Margarito said it before Cotto II.

    The Referee should not of stopped Margarito during the Cotto rematch! Even with a injured eye he was still coming on strong, and Cotto had that scared look on his face again.

    Cotto won the boxing match, but he has never beaten Margarito in a fight!

    I don't agree with this. Bellew's whole deal is he is the bigger stronger guy, punches harder, longer reach etc. If he was moving up 8lbs like the other divisions then it would be fine but he is going up 25lbs. All of Tony strentghs will be gone and its not like he is a fast/slick boxer who can hit and not be hit like Haye when he jumped up in weight.

    Chilemba is a good fighter, slippery, fast, pretty well rounded. I think the key to it is going to be whether he really has the power at this level. If he's got the power to hurt Tony that is going to make a massive difference because you can see where he could have a lot of joy. But ultimately it will count for little if he's just a little undersized and underpowered going down the stretch.

    All true.

    I don't think he does.

    This is what I foresee.

    Think Bellew learns from the last fight and wins well on points this time

    Tony Bellew throws that out there just as much as Carl Froch's "Warrior"

    Av a word Eddie lad! Or is it you telling them to come out with this naff?

    It was alright at first, but now its overkill.

    He meant "die in the ring" as in somebody on a stage who gets no applause I assume.

    Mission accomplished in that case. He died a fkg death!

    It seems all Eddie Hearn fighters are given 5 words of doom?

    Every interview each fighter gives they are required to say all of them at least once. If they don't, then the forfeit is that they have to spray a butt naked Eddie Hearn's fake tan on.

    It's in the contract. :deal

    Source? Tomato.
