    I don't know, theres nothing from the first fight gives me that impression that it will be any different second time around, apart from Tony being more aggressive and possibly tiring himself out if he don't land the money shot, both styles are counter productive to each other.

    I see Tony going all out but getting stopped. The more aggressive he is the most likley he is to get sparked.

    There's no way Bellew can pin Chillemba down, he should have learnt how to deal with slickness by rematching Ajesafe first.

    People were so against that fight when it was suggested.

    How did you score Bellew Chilemba, I had Chilemba winning. You can't win fights by punching thin air.

    I originally had Bellew winning but I was only half watching while getting ready to go out so the commentary probably swayed me. I watched back without commentary and scored it 114-114. There were some rounds that Bellew effectively won by default because Chilemba did nothing.

    If I scored even rounds I would have probably gone for Chilemba but I rarely score even rounds. Almost never. In truth, nobody deserved to be a winner of that fight.

    Rob I agree mate, Tony works works well when he is controlling the fight on the backfoot and boxing but controlling at the same time, he can't do that against Chilemba, because he will be counter punched to ****, also Bellew is a hot head, he gets frustrated easily therefore playing himself into Cilembas hands even more.
     
  8. Sky would be better off terminating this deal with Hearn and going back to Friday Fight Night at 10.00 where we at least had weekly boxing to watch.

    With the exception of Frampton, Hearn has delivered dog**** including cartoon prizefighter boxing of no interest and Bomber Boring Bull****.

    Time for Sky to share the cake between promoters and return boxing to Fridays at 10.00

    The biggest thing that plays into Chilemba's hands is that all the pressure is on Bellew to make it a better fight.

    The sad thing is, you are not the only person who thinks that way!

    I will still pay £14.95 for this event. I am annoyed at the average undercard but they more or less always are so I will look past. However, if the ppv is £17.95, then I will be pretty pissed and may not order it. I don't know what it is but that extra £3 does not sit well with me.

    I think Hearn has made a bit of a gaffe with Bellew.... He was trying to bill him alongside Froch & Brook as major player in the Matchroom stable.

    Ain't never gonna happen IMO.
