    Bellew seems way more cautious since the first McKenzie fight. He's not going to win any new fans with all the big talk and then performances like this. At least Cleverly puts it all on the line when he fights, that will always please broadcasters and fans.

    the ref bottled it in the first or second round, he should have deducted a point from bellew for that headbutt.

    Yep, not to mention all the low blows and rabbit punches being landed by Bellew, Chilemba would be smashed in the bollocks or round the back of the head, then the ref would split them and have a go at Chilemba :lol: very poor!

    Bellew is turning into the light heavyweight version of Bradley Skeete. Not good.

    Tony said "i could have done more Im not gonna lie to myself", whereas at the weigh in he said "Im willing to die in the ring". Clown

    this is true but I also feel he doesn't have the engine, he started well in the 1st round then his boxing unravelled, missed a lot with the overhand right.

    He's cautious because he has a limited repertoire so would leave himself way too open if he was too aggressive.

    If Chilemba had any power he would have knocked him out with those counters.

    Some very close rounds thought the draw was about right for an eliminator did either really make a clear case for winning?

    Unless the WBC order a rematch can't see anyone getting too excited about them fighting a 2nd time.

    thought the ref was poor there was one point where Bellew had chilemba in a headlock and was punching him and the ref didnt do anything there where more than a few low blows also by Bellew

    It was a final eliminator, so maybe they could make a case for eliminating both fighters...
