So where at about the 7 th round and i have it a whitewash fo gonzalez, maybe 6-1, just to make sure im watching the right fight i check some rbr's on twitter and im pretty much spot on. While browsing my timeline i felt like punching my screen at the following tweets, Tony Bellew @TonyBellew Don't know if it's just me but Burns has won every round for me so far! He's simply doing more than Gonzalez! You can't win rounds dodging! 9:41 p.m. Sat, May 11 Tony Bellew @TonyBellew @BarryHearn he's awkward but isn't doing much at all.. I think Ricky's fitness levels will take over, he's winning for me.. How you doing? 9:48 p.m. Sat, May 11 Lol, wtf? Surely this guy hasnt taken this much punishment in his career to be this mixed up?!?!
Well......yes Bellow is a fool.........but at the time time from a winning - not points - perspective he was right. Burns won due to dragging Gonzalez into the trenches. You can't give the fight in points to Burns......but he did outwork his SA opponent.
I was reading bellews tweets, he has no idea how to score a fight, but then again we knew that after he thought he won 9 out of 12 against chilemba. Burns lost the first 7 rounds clearly.
He's thick as **** and doesn't understand boxing, that much is obvious in his inability to adapt in fights. Or he knows he has to suck Eddie's **** now he's been exposed, unfortunately he's really **** at it.
Bellew is a goon. Kissing Hearn arse on twitter aswell I see, he has to think of something seeing as his boxing won't get him where he wants to be. Bellew was WRONG. he wasn't winning. Not every fighter will quit like this guy did, it wasn't as if Burns was having huge success. The guys was poorly conditioned rather than Burns pouring it on. Bellew had Burns winning every round. Then again he does seem to think you are entitled a decision in your home town.
Going off the Chilemba fight, Bellew seems to think boxing is about who throws the most, not who lands them.
TBF this is a bloke who decided to take rounds off in a title eliminator then scream blue murder when he drew. He was right about the fitness levels taking over though..
Agreed. Totally thick and dosen't have a clue about boxing which is ironic seeing as he's a professional boxer. He's made other ridiculous tweets about one sided fights that he saw the other way around.
It's quite astonishing give the fact he's a professional boxer. Khan is similar, hasn't got a scooby when it comes to talking boxing; "Ermmm, he needs to land some shots" :yep
Tony will say what he gets paid to say. Just like the whole Sky team. For 9 rounds they were giving Gonzalez the praise his boxing deserved. He didnt lose a round. Then after the 9th and between rounds. Ricky had gone from being way down to basically 10 rounds ahead. It switched. Their man got the victory and they went straight back to hyping Ricky up as if the fight itself didnt even happen. Anybody who knows about boxing knows that fight was 89-83 Gonzalez, maybe 88-84. Before Gonzalez stopped the fight because of injury.
Watt cracks me up . He went in the 8th IIRC ''I had Gonzalez winning the first 6... *checks how many rounds*. Yeah Ricky would need to win these rounds and drop him'' (paraphrasing).
