Tony Bellew vs Isaac Chilemba 2. What can Bellew do different this time???

Not show up and watch champ league final instead.

 

Meow! The claws are out!

Gotta admit that Bellew has become quite a dull fighter since the first McKenzie fight.

 

Body shots

 

I think he should go to the body a lot more than he did in the last fight. Chilemba has good head movement but he's there to be hit, even if it's not on the chin. Go to his body, hit his chest, his arms, his shoulders...anything. Just make sure to constantly be putting pressure on Chilemba, to try to wear him down and hopefully the judges will like that sort of work. If Bellew goes head hunting again, he'll be made to miss lots and he'll likely lose, so he can't afford to do that.

It'll be a tough fight for Bellew but he can win it. He just needs to use his jab a lot and when he is in a position to load up, target Chilemba's body rather than swing at his head, which missed so many times in their first fight. I think a good straight right to the body would be a successful punch for Bellew in particular.

Swing at Chilemba's head all fight and Bellew will miss lots and possibly lose. He has got to change his area of attack. If he is successful to the body early on, he might find Chilemba's chin easy to tag late on, but in the early stages, Bellew must go to the body.

 

Pressure and come forward for 12 rounds, though he wasn't connecting much he was still scoring in the judges eyes for coming forward and I don't think Chilemba was comfortable at all until Bellew decided to give him a breather and fight on the back foot. Chilemba doesn't have great power so Tony can be a little reckless if needed and rush him, needs to be done as Chilemba is the much better pure boxer.

 

He can give it everything, he had a fair bit left in the tank but for some reason thought he was miles ahead and cruised.

When Tony was coming forward in the first few rounds he looked really crude, partly because Chilemba is a slippery customer. I watched it with my brother and we couldn't believe how much he neglected the body.

Think Chilemba will win quite convincingly this time, if he actually threw punches in the first handful of rounds, he'd have won handily.

 

Body shots, exactly guys. That and try to improve his hand speed and accuracy. He's heavy handed, but not one punch knockout. He swings like a bulldozer, opponents can see his punches coming a mile away and slip them pretty easy.

Work on his technique a little bit, dig the shots home more. Chilemba will just try to do the exact same thing again. Make it boring as **** and catch Tony on the counter so he can nick the rounds.

Bellew can without doubt beat Isaac, he just has to do what he should have done first time. Give Chilemba no space whatsoever, don't let him get any confidence. Run him over. If he catches Chilemba clean he can hurt him, Chilemba's chin isn't the best it's just he's so hard to nail.

Tony can win this rematch even though it's only 2 months after the last one, he got lucky in the 1st fight but anyone who says Chilemba outclassed him is a mong. Both fellas looked shite that night. I was there so I know, people were falling asleep.

 

Has Tony been on here since the fight? The guy used to be like a God on the forum. It was unbelievable!

If Bellew boxes a more aggressive fight he will get outboxed, reguarly caught and probably dropped from being of balance so often. For Tony to win the fight all he really has to do is be busier that he was last time. That won't win him any fans back but it will win him the fight.

Problem is Tony will probably let his heart rule his head, wan't to prove he is a warrior and will walk onto big shots and possibly get stopped.

At which point Tony will finally pull out his trump card......I struggled to make the weight, I will be a better fighter at Cruiser now that I don't have to starve myself. More BS lies from Bellew. And we will put up with a year of Tony beating **** Cruiserweights until he steps up to world level and gets sparked.

 

Chilemba DID outclass him in some of the later rounds. Made him miss and landed some beautiful counters that the idiot commentators didn't acknowledge. Pair of clowns. Bellew looked clueless at times. If Chilemba had not been so cautious in the early part of the fight he would've got the decision. A draw was fair enough, but Chilemba did look the much better fighter after he grew in confidence. If Bellew gets aggressive in the second fight it may just makes things a lot easier for Chilemba, and I can see him getting stopped.


and rob, not sure if Bellew has been on here since the fight but I hope he has because his conduct that night was classless and I hope he knows how the fans feel.

 

Going to the body is a good idea, but he will have to find away to get past that jab first and sit on Chilembas chest which will be hard with his movement, So probably the best way is to box smart behind his own jab which he did to good effect in the Mcenzie rematch.

 

Chilemba is good, I think he'll win, no slight on Tony.

 

Don't think he has been on because he knows he'd get a tonne of stick. Come on mate, he didn't outclass him. Ward vs Froch, that was outclassing someone. Tony looked **** but so did Chilemba. Buddy McGirt didn't bollock him in the corner for no reason. He did improve in the later rounds yes but he still didn't look amazing either.

Both fighters got caught in a truly horrible clash of styles. Just Chilemba got a little bit more out of it than Tony did in terms of landed shots. Next fight will likely be a stinker too even if Bellew tries different tactics. I want Tony to win so much but not just because I'm a big fan. I want him to beat Chilemba so we never have to see or hear from Isaac ever again. Boring as ****. You seriously reckon he could stop Bellew mate? No chance, he's not a puncher, just a slickster.

 

Would agree with him using his jab a lot more, it's a good weapon for Tony when he uses it like in the Cleverly fight, I thought he dominated the first half of that just by doubling up the jab and using it to set his shots up instead of just looking for the big right hand, Chilemba seems like a slippery ******* though so won't be easy at all.

 

Hes gotta go to the body ALOT and hes going to have to keep busy and be in his face continuously throwing punches rather than backing off and giving him a chance to land shots and get composed like he did last time
