Chilemba clearly won, commentators awful.

    I didn't think Bellew came across that well. Some of his antics were a bit uncalled for. It wasn't a good fight - no massive complaints with the draw either. The commentry was dreadful.

    Sky called it 'controvesal' against Bellew.

    When Bellew said his opponent's trainer said he won, I would of said only one judge thought you did!

    The fact Conteh thought it was a draw too showed more!

    I only got in and watched it from round 4 onwards and the atmosphere was dead, which was even surprising as on sky cards the sound is usually better due to mics etc, pisses all over Boxnation for that.

    Round 5 or 6 I think it was I gave to Chilmeba for sure, tony did ok but nothing clean and Watt was giving it "well, you could make a case for chilemba but i gave it to bellew" . After McGirt gave him a minor bollocking he spanked tony - I fell asleep about round 10-12 but everything i'd seen before I though chilemba won. Woke and saw tony on the corner post, fell asleep until the morning

    There was also Bellew's weird assertion that Buddy's one of the most knowledgeable in the sport. Well, three judges scored it and only one chose you.

    "But I'm the home fighter"

    What was all that about, your the home fighter - so what? Doesn't mean your entitled to win.

    Chilemba won last night.

    Chilemba made Bellew miss all night. Not a chance Tony won that fight. It was a draw at the very best (from his point of view). God know's what Jim Watt and that other commentator were going on about.

    You could tell by the silence in the arena, after the result was announced, that nobody was complaining.

    I wasn't scoring but Chilemba was embarassing for the first 4 rounds or so. Some card suggest Bellew didn't win a round after that. That can't be right. Nevertheless, given Bellews struggle he should learn from it, fight him again and realise that no matter what trinket he wears at the weigh in, it doesn't signal that he is ready for the likes of Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins, Jean Pascal etc

    Totally agree, the jumping on the rope moment was embarrassing and I think he was desperately trying to convince himself as much as the judges.
