    Lets not villainies this into an Amir Khan type insulting comment.

    Technically what he said is true, if he beats Dawson he rightfully takes his place among the top LHW's in the world.

    Oh **** off Tony "Av won tha" Bellew. If you hadn't got a gift draw in the first fight you wouldn't be sat there after a gift win in the second fight giving it the big one. Can't wait til Dawson knocks him out, see what excuses he comes up with.

    He's not wrong tbh, Dawson is the man in the division.

    He isn't even the best Light Heavyweight in the UK.

    Dawson has to get past Stevenson first.

    He'd need all of Eddie's hometown decision powers to pull a win over Dawson off. And if Tony doesn't make the sort of money Chad wants, he'll drop that belt faster than Tony drop his dignity on live television.

    Clev dominated him and won easily on the scorecards, the fight was in Bellew's hometown with every punch of Bellew's being cheered by the home support, 3 judges from England, 2 English born i believe, yet Clev won 117-112, 116-113, with one English judge giving the hometown boxer a 114-114 draw.

    Clev won a clear decision in Bellew's hometown with a cracked rib/ribs suffered in training just before the fight, Clev is well over 4 years younger than Bellew, any rematch might well be in Wales, Clev would take Bellew to the cleaners, Bellew had everything in his advantage first time round and came out second best, any rematch and Bellew is likely to be humiliated by Clev.

    Clev is just a better boxer than Bellew.

    joker, nobody thought it was a clear win, even the welsh lads I know thought that Bellew had edged it. Cracked rib? Bellew supposedly had a broken hand? Either way it doesn't matter. Also you cannot deny that clev got away with about 20 low blows, Tony came into the post fight press conference with a jug full of **** stained blood.

    It was a clear win for Clev, i scored it as a clear win for Clev and 117-112 and 116-113 by the judges shows it a clear win for Clev.

    The Welsh boxer was just too good for the Englishman simple as that even with everything in the Englishmans favour, Clev was just too good for Bellew.

    Your pretty much the only person that scored it a clear win! Clev is a joker, claiming to be a champ and constantly shouting froch and hopkins names and then fighting bums. Plus he wears a bandana! gimp.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, Trampie, but didn't you start this thread?

    http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=355101

    Where you comprehensively displayed that you don't know how to score a fight?

    That fight was, for me, an example of scoring volume versus more effective punching. I thought either man had an argument for winning, but that Clev's workrate and pressure told in the last third of the fight. Tony just couldn't keep up and he wasn't enjoying the body-punching.

    Clev by a couple of points in a very close, competitive fight is fair, but I don't really see how you could say it was a "clear" win. Sadly, I wouldn't use the judges as a barometer either.

    I actually feel sorry for Bellew.
