Bellew in clear trouble and the bell rings early by about 8 seconds. Disgraceful and obviously not mentioned by anyone on Sky. It didn't happen by accident. Go to 27.00 on this video. Bellew has been rocked by a big right hand and then gets hit by a low blow. He is still in trouble after the recovery time. Keep your eyes on the clock and watch when 10 seconds disappears. The round ends at about 8 seconds. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k38XCajXBp4[/url]
The TV clock isnt official and normally they stop it at 0.10 to hide any inconsistencies with the actual time Gotta take my hat off to Brudov, they guy came to win and went out on his sword, increasingly rare these days
Tbh i thought when watching it they took a fair bit of time off and ended the round very early considering the lowblow downtime
No way was bellew in trouble at all, hes been in with the likes of Stevenson. It was a okish peformance by Bellew whos a class act and will no doubt win a world title at his natural weight. He spars with the likes of Froch theres no way a bum like Brudov
Been in with the likes of Stevenson and got knocked out. Bellew was in serious trouble against brudov, but overall I thought he boxed well. He won't win a title at cruiser though, the top 10 will all be too big and strong for him.
for all the talk about moving up helping his punch resistance and the bombers back ... he fought less scared than he has in the last year but was still out on his feet against a 38 yr old fringe world class guy ... that being said brudov had only been beat by afolabi (tko5) virgil hill (ud) and firat arslan (sd) in the last 8 years so depends how you gauge it realy , but his frailties were exposed again . think bellew would have had a 10% chance against stevenson if he went balls to the wall early , cos although hes not the most skilled , if he lands flush he hurst people !
