Bunce beefing the BN Team on Twitter

But it was no howler, Lacy was the very warm favourite. With hindsight, yes the pick was obvious; but picking Lacy over Calzaghe was on par with picking Foreman over Ali or Liston over the then Clay (fight one).

 

:nono

Steady on!

 

:deal

Mkrychan, Salem, Ashira and a Viet rematch that wasn't even televised was Joes run going into the fight and his form sketchy in these fights, Salem even managed to drop him and against Ashira he broke his hand. In these years Calzaghe had pulled out against Glen Johnson, Brian Magee and Clinton Woods. It looked like the end, he was 33 and had been pulling out of decent enough fights but showing up against whilst looking less than his old self against the WBO mis mandatories put on his plate.

It helped that Lacy had rolled over his recent foes like a tank. He was the right man at the right time, we had all seen this script before. Not many knew Calzaghe was going to rip up that script into 1006 bits.

 

Bunce has always been full of ****. Even before he joined Box Nation. Don't know why it's taken up until now for everyone to see this.

 

You are right, the pick isnt even a howler - Lacey was favourite, but apparently the writer also questioned Calzaghe's heart. The latter was probably the biggest 'howler'. But, then Calzaghe has since confessed in interviews that he had to be talked into going ahead with the fight, he had many doubts etc - so maybe there was some grounds for the writer to question his heart??? Anyway, as we know there was no problem on fight night with Calzaghe's heart and we can all be experts after the fight.

 

Used to like Bunce in the Setanta days, can't stand the fat tosser now.

 

the Veit rematch was shown on Eurosport.

 

Clev clearly won that fight!

 

Quite a few people on here disagree with you.

 

Quite a few people on here are MEGA MEGA Tony Bellew fans.

 

What are you talking about? That was a very close fight, could have went either way.

 

Hello Buncey, you fat knacker. :hi:

 

close fight but cleverly clearly won.

 

No problem with Cleverly getting his hand raised but could have made an argument for Bellew win. I had it a draw.

 

but you admit you have a bias towards Bellew?

i had it 116-112 Cleverly. i would fanct bellew in a rematch though.
