    Erm I don't think so mate! I do vaguely remember that thread i think but it wasn't me who said he could do do 168!!! He'd knock me out if I did!

    Anything less than a solid KO from Bellew is not going to look good.

    Also, celebrating like a loonatic after beating Stubbs, as he did after beating Atoli Moore, will also not look good.

    Bellew should win this comfortably by KO. I wonder how long he will be kept on a leash though. I would like to see him challenge for European honours sooner rather than later.

    Bellew is being kepy active which is what he needs British title on the line so plenty of motivation then hopefully McCintosh with or without the Euro title then hopefully a European level opponent such as Brancalion then see where he stands and where Cleverly is up to :hey

    Celebrating has nothing to do with my boxing ability, do not confuse the two things, I'm not gonna be told how to celebrate by anyone, I've trained like a lunatic for fights and if things end really quick then I'll celebrate like I train, I'll never change and to be honest o couldn't give a toss wether people like my celebrating or hate it!!

    Once again thanks guys for the views, I'm not stating Darren Stubbs is a world beater but I'll say this, I'll treat him with respect and messing around with fighters who are in the last chance saloon bar is highly dangerous, this is Darren Stubbs's world title fight so I have to be 110% focused on him and nothing else... ;)

    Decent scrap this and I hope Bellew puts in a good performance. There's a lot to like in his boxing and room for improvement, but having boxed less than 60 pro rounds - who wouldnt have a lot to learn?!

    Quick question though bomber, can you put your finger on why you havent looked at your destructive best in the last couple of fights?

    No disrespect, but in my opinion you have tried to rely on your power a little too much rather than boxing your opponents and waiting for the KO to come. As a standout amateur, you have a lot more to your game than just the big bang. And lots of pro's are seasoned enough to realise that and exploit it. Ajisafe and McK were both a step up from previous opponents and a win is a win, but is there anything specific you think that were the major reason for your last two outings? And (without giving away a game plan) are you doing anything different for this fight?

    Cheers and good luck lad

    Why don't people like Tony celebrating? He gets into a ring knowing the 6ft geezer across the ring wants to kick **** outta him. I'd celebrate like made too if a) I won the fight and b) got out of the ring safely!

    Maybe he should not even acknowledge his achievement.

    Steady on now Rob, you think his power aint all that, he's a bit chinny and, taking these two into account, you want him to move up.

    Christ alive, I'm glad you don't manage fighters :lol:

    To be honest against Mckenzie, Bellew was boxing more and not looking for the knockout. The one thing that strikes me is how thin Bellew looks and how thin his legs are. Maybe a move up in weight is in order or getting a strength conditioning coach in to restructure his body like they did with Amir khan.

    can i ask you a question and get an honest answer? being the wife of a boxer and in my eyes even though some people out there think he is at last chance saloon, let me tell you i know him better than anyone sometimes even himself!!! darren stubbs is the most dedicated, determined, honest,giving person who when he does something its 100% or nothing. how can these ligit sites, so called managers promoters and even ticket companies say a date, time place, even put the name of who is to box out there, not even considering what this does to a persons hopes dreams and moral?

    I agree with you, I have huge respect for Darren and really wish him well, however this is not down to Frank it's down to sky sports and fans demand, once sky said no to Darren I said get McKenzie, I really hope Darren gets his chance cos he is an honest pro and a lovely guy.. Good luck to him

    Regards Tony Bellew ;)
