Is there anyone better ? I got nothing against Tony.....I think he will be a great pundit when he retires But they way he talks in the build up to fights, like tonight in the dressing room, it's like he knows exactly what he needs to do But unfortunately doesn't actually have the skillet to execute whats in his head
Loves talking about how he puts people to sleep,only people he puts asleep is the tv viewer,ah to be fair he has to talk himself up..
He is a bullshitter if you ask me. Said all the things he would do to Stevnson and "fight him in his back garden" crap but he didn't give himself a chance. Not knocking any boxer because it is a brutal and tough sport. But don't go on the way he does and then fight the complete opposite. Now he has a new excuse about the weight and to be fair he might have a point. He should have to earn his stripes again. Can't believe he gets to top the bill here. Done absolutely nothing to deserve it.
Exciting fight last night to be fair. Came back from what looked like the brink to beat a good opponent. Met one of possibly the only 2 light heavies who could beat him IMO.But I think this is a far tougher division. Lots of good opponents for him even if he doesn't tackle the elite. Interesting fighter,interesting guy. Ill be watching him.
He's already lost to two light heavies? Also looked terrible against another and was lucky to come away with a draw
The Huck fight would be a monumental task. Bellew would have to KO him to get a draw in Germany, and there is no way that would happen.
Decent performance but nothing to get excited about. He ain't a world class fighter but then again no shame in that. Can't say it was a dull fight. Him v clev has to be the fight
I like how some people on here give Bellew an easy time but give Froch (a world champ) so much ****. Personality wise Bellew is as bad as Froch, vile rants about Cleverly and Stevenson etc. Typical British fans, hate a winner.
What did Tony say to Ed Robinson at the end? He looked like he had a go at him. I missed it so I might be wrong?
Bellew beat a journeyman, it looked impressive, but Brudov hadn't beaten anyone, failed when he stepped up, had a good KO ratio of fighting bums, has averaged around one fight a year since 2009. Matchroom built Brudov as a good test, but in reality, same Bellew, same tactics of being on the back foot for most of the fight, only difference was it wasn't Stevenson in the other corner.
He's not good enough. Its as simple as that. Might improve at the weight but will still be found wanting.
