    Looks like Stevenson is looking for Cloud as his first defense.

    Absolute rubbish. Cloud is coming off a loss so how does he deserve a shot at the title when Bellew won a final eliminator?

    This is a very typical thing that happens in the sport today which shows just how messed up it is and how it is only controlled by money and nothing else.

    Bellew doesn't deserve the fight anyway as he lost the first Chilemba fight IMO.

    Apparently HBO is pushingfor Cloud and Stevenson would accomodate.

    Watch the fight without commentary, I've only seen the fight once and scored it for Chilemba, I admit to being biased as I was rooting for Chilemba, but many fans were biased for Bellew and so were the commentators.

    I do admit I have to watch and score the fight again though.

    My point is, Chilemba should have got his shot at the title instead of a rematch as he clearly won the first.

    There was no clearly about it. It was an extremely close fight whereas the second was anything but. Given that most felt Chilemba did his best work too late on in the first fight you'd have expected him to not make the mistake the second time round and win convincingly. He failed to do that.

    I'm glad he lost, he has an awful style to watch and he made both fights ****ing boring.

    You obviously have a bias to the "more exciting fighter" in Bellew.

    Make Chilemba v Bellew III in the meantime. Fascinating stuff.
