    Bellew won the first 5-6 rounds on my card, Round 10 and Round 12.

    8 rounds to Chilemba? go **** yourself!

    I wouldn't call it a "robbery," but Bellew should have gotten the decision. It wasn't the worst call I've ever seen - but I thought Bellew won a close, but clear decision.

    Chilemba won on my card by a point. Close fights aren't robberies. A draw is a fair result here.

    :deal

    Except I had Bellew by a point.

    I really can't argue with a draw.

    In all honesty I gave Bellew the first 6 rounds plus the 12th and there was another round inbetween i gave him, He shouldnt have let Chilemba get back into that fight and at worst you can call it a draw, one of the early rounds you can give to Chilemba prior to round 6 but other than that it was all Bellew

    But 8 points for Chilemba when he didnt do jack **** for the first half of the fight? im sorry that is just incompetent judging and the WBC should suspend the judge, when you have a close fight that could swing either way and you get one judge giving a rediculous score like that it just ruins the sport really

    The judge who scored it for Bellew was wrong also, i thought a lot of the rounds were clear cut for either Bellew and Chilemba and I believe in only scoring rounds 10-10 when there is no way you can pick between the two and those circumstances are very rare. 116-115? There were not that many close rounds in that fight

    As for the judge who scored it a draw, whilst I disagree with it I can understand it and feel it was the score card that best reflected the fight but seeing how incompetent the other two were I wouldnt trust this either

    Im not really one for conspiracies but this is the WBC here, Dawson meets Stevenson with Pascal meeting Bute. Its safe to say Pascal beats Bute given his recent performances and Dawson V Stevenson is a coin flip given Dawsons last fight

    Pascal V Stevenson in canada - $$$
    Pascal V Dawson 2 - $$$
    Bute V either - $$$

    The only way I can explain Bellew getting the wrong end of the stick in his hometown is this, why would the WBC risk losing a big pay day? Dawson is a bit of a question mark after being stopped by Ward and I believe Bellew would have a good chance at beating Stevenson too

    But thats just a Theory, im not mad with the draw in reality, just the terrible scoring from the other 2 judges whether its corruption or incompetence. Even Mcgirt thought Bellew won!

    how can you score it 8 rounds to 4 for Chilemba?

    Bellew controlled the fight early on, at least 5 of the first 6 rounds were in no doubt Bellews and he also won the 12th without a doubt

    There is no way you can give that fight to Chilemba by even 1 point

    Bit of an acquired taste really

    Bellew gassed himself out in the early rounds and was sloppy in places whilst Chilemba took too long to get into the fight

    I enjoyed it in places but its not up to the standard of a normal Bellew performance, he just seemed to lose his after he couldnt find a way to get Chilemba out of there

    I thought you could give Bellew a lot of the early rounds, just because Chilemba was doing so little. Of the two, Chilemba definitely took his rounds a lot clearer though, so I have no issue with people calling him the winner but if I scored each round individually, it'd be a draw or just to Bellew.

    Horrible fight though. I really hope we don't see that again. Their styles didn't clash at all.

    This was no robbery! Plain and simple! It was a very close fight (for me Chilemba won by two rounds). And bellew could have got a "home town victory"! But this draw is mabye not good for both fighters but not a bad decision!

    Most people in the RBR thread scored it for Chilemba.
    I thought it was a very close fight, but wasn't actually scoring it... still surprised to see people complaining about a robbery (either way).

    Just glad it went the distance tbh, almost doubled up on my wager.
