    Good knowledge.
    Chambers as a crusier hmmm think he's been to inactive over the last few years to be relevant but he was a very capable in his prime. This bit on boxrec about the Mino fight makes me laugh Mino got knocked by a Bruce Lee like short six inch punch, a "Makabu left loaded with maximum power which put the outclassed Mino, age 39, on his back" Bruce Lee like the guy was a midget and a last minute sub.

    He look easy enough to hit and his foot work certainly in the fights ive watched wont win any awards but his power looks legit.

    Bellew is gunna have to outbox this fella - he cant afford to get in to a shooting match

    Warrior? As in keyboard warrior?

    I see you missed the 'd' from the end of your name. Says it all, can't even spell your own 'name'... lamo

    Scotland's Stephen Simmons has sparred both over the last few months - hopefully a website can get his view on it. Not seen much of Makabu but he looks like a massive puncher!

    Shocked Bellew is headlining his own card. I had never heard of Makubu until last weekend.

    tough fight to predict

    When you educate yourself it's not that hard to predict anymore.
    Cleverly wanted Makabu as his first fight as a Cruiser, after getting brutalized by Kovalev. It got a big laugh from people who were in the know and they predicted another early KO loss, which would probably ruin his career. Then he didn't want that fight anymore/injured and went for some soft touch instead.

    fight made:

    This guy has fought nobodies!
    Bellew is underrated at Cruiserweight. The slower boxing pace is better suited for him. His boxing skills will win him this fight

    Lets hope the transition from Heavyweight (weight wise) movie star doesn't have the same effect it did on Tarver. Otherwise he will get knocked out. If he is focused he has a chance to win the gold.

    Surely Eddie will cash out if Bellew loses?

    It's a tough fight for Bellew but a winnable one, all depends how he approaches it.
