Officially Bellew vs Chilemba

It's a final eliminator and a very good fight for Bellew.

I expect this to be a really tough fight for Tony, but if he sticks to his boxing I see him winning on points, 8-4 or 7-5.

 

Chilemba will take this, Bellew will be surprised by his boxing ability and ease to get through to Tony, 116-112 Chilemba

 

Why are you such a big fan of Isaac? :good

 

Any other fights announced?

 

If Tony wins is he Chad Dawson's mandatory?

 

Nope just Bellew vs Chilemba and Matthews vs Crolla. Smith, Stalker, Fielding and Cardle on the bill.

 

Like the way he has come through and think his style makes for good fights :good

 

Very good fight for Tony this. Exactly the sort of level of opponent he needs to be facing if he's going to be challenging Dawson soon.

Chilemba will be his toughest opponent yet definitely, Tony can beat him though IF he gets his game plan and fighting style right. He can't afford to make the same small but noticeable mistakes he made in his last two fights with Miranda and Bolonti. He has to find that perfect middle ground between being a puncher and a boxer. If he can do that then I think he can beat Chilemba and go on to challenge for the world title.

Good luck Tony! :good

Quick Prediction - I may change this as the fight draws closer but right now I think Tony will nick a points win, especially because it's in Liverpool.

 

will probably have a punt on chilemba just for the reason i dont rate bellew and think hes a defeat waiting to happen. A few on here seem to rate chilemba also.

 

I havent seen Chilemba but hope Bellew can get past him and a shot a title.

 

Where is the fight taking place?

If bellew has home advantage I reckon he gets the win on points in a very close fight, I can't see him beating dawson but I reckon he'll give it a really good go.

 

Hopefully have my Saturdays back for this. Crolla and Mathews always come to fight, and this could really be a bigger test than Cleverly for Bellew, I rate Chilemba quite highly. Assuming he is the South African I watched on ESPN FNF's a while ago.
