Echo Undercard + Mathews vs Crolla/Bellew vs Chilemba/Rios vs Alvarado RBR Discussion

:huh







No, just no

 

Erm well up until the Bellew fight started that arena was bouncing. Just shows the power Bellew possesses to suck that amount of energy out of an arena packed full of pissed scousers

 

I have gone over the top but it wasn't the worst fight you are ever going to see

 

That is because Bellew wasn't having great success and Chilemba was nullifying him. It is hard to get the crowd involved in a tactical fight

 

Cleverly has this awful wide stance. Fighters with balance problems only does have it. If you fight with this stance against a guy with a huge upercut (krasniqis upercut is really deadly, clearly his best punch). You are very vulnerable for a upercut. Because with that wide stance you cant move backwards (or sidewards) that fast.
And being vulnerable for the best punsh of your enemy is really not good for you
Krasniqi will be very though! Especially Krasniqi has the best german trainer in his corner (the one who improved his power a lot)

 

For example, the McKenzie rematch. Awful, truly awful.

 

I think it was to walk him down and keep him on his jab all night

 

But I thought that Bellew was going to smash him and hurt him bad?

 

When Haye fought Kiltschko! It was a tactical fight and the Crowd was most of the time intense!

Probably due to the power them two guys have! When they did throw! You automatically think some damage is going to be done!

 

That was an average performance from a boxer who promised much more.
I Like Bellew but he has to match performance to his chat.
Dawson will cream either of them on that performance.

 

Fairplay Chilemba's reflexes were sharp butit was apparent early on that he hasn't got a dig on him. A man willing to die int he ring will then go and make sure the other guy doesn't dicate the fight in his hometown. Bellew didn't even need to go and hit Chilemba cleanly he just had to make the runnign on the front footwith the crowd behind him to influence the judges

 

Bellew talks crap were used to it by now

 

But as soon as Chilemba came forwards Bellew abandoned that.

 

Nice brown shoe purple sock combo from Bunce tonight.

 

I agree it is strange why Bellew didn't push more and try to take more chances. Chilemba's lack of power is always going to cause him a problem though and I agree that Bellew should have realised this much earlier on
