Good finish by Bellew, i'll give him some credit but he acted like he'd just knocked out a Top 20 Cruiserweight, not some old journeyman Cruiserweight.
Bellew got the job done in the end but it was by no means a terrific performance, the knockdown was good but he was in trouble against an old-slow plodding cruiser in Brudov who got dealt with in five rounds by Ola. But imagine him in against a top-ten cruiser, he'd get eaten for breakfast, the only one he'd have a chance of beating is Makubu as he's very very lazy in the ring.
He still gets the KO "performance was terrific, I couldn't see it any better!" Jim Watt (TM) atsch Welcome to CW division Tony 'bummer' Belly... this was a fringe gatekeeper
See many worse fights than that but Bellew is going to struggle badly at that weight when he faces any decent opponent.
God i can't wait for Bellew to get stretched again acts like such a ***** when his opponent was on the floor still, Hope he comes back on the forum soon so i can tell him "listen Bellew you beat a ****ing Journeyman who Afolabi beat in 5 years ago you are **** and going nowhere *****"
I said before Brudov was a shot fighter and a good 5 years past his best and Bellew actually made him look decent tonight. He's lucky he got the KO in the 12th as it saves his performance a little but overall it was poor against a journeyman and he was VERY LUCKY he didn't get stopped in the 7th. Also very shady goings on with the clock.
Tony Bellew winning has just ruined some peoples year on here, or atleast you would think so from the reaction.
