The let's throw IIunga Makabu under the bus express for losing to Bellew

Bellew probably hit harder than the guy with 3 KO's, 7 wins and 10 losses who stopped Makabu in 30 seconds. Plus Bellew has 25lbs more weight behind that chin than when in with Stevenson.

Will you be throwing him under the bus with everyone else if he doesn't win, like I've noticed has happened to Barroso? Who apparently hits harder than Derry Mathews who stopped Crolla yet Barroso couldn't.

 

Serge, have you noticed that the people 'in the know' at Sky Sports and Matchroom really hype a title fight if they genuinely think that their man, when he is the underdog is going to win (and they do), but kind of brush it under the carpet when they don't and give it no hype.

Examples would be Brook-Porter, Crolla's fights with Barroso & Perez, Baker-Geale, DeGale-Dirrell, Froch-Bute was really hyped up on Sky.

When the powers that be aren't feeling it would be S.Smith-Pedraza, Cleverly-Fonafara, Andrade-Rose, P.Smith-Ward, Purdy-Alexander, Rees-Broner, Burns-Crawford, Stevenson-Bellew even Ward-Froch. If you only watch Sky Sports News, you barely knew those fights was happening.

Something tells me that the people in Bellew's camp (and Dave Coldwell is as astute a guy as there is in boxing) that are studying Makabu inside out are really thinking this is Bellew's night.

And from what I've watched of Makabu, I'm not seeing this unstoppable beast everyone is hyping. He's good, and may win. But a mismatch? Not a chance.

 

Mchunu was outboxing him with his jab, who is reknown for his glass chin and it took Makabu until 11 to land something big there.

Bellew has 4 inches in height on Mchunu, and a longer reach, with an good jab himself so it's not out of the realms of possibilty. However what nobody seems to what to take into account- what if Bellew lands on Makabu's chin?

Makabu's been stopped by a bum in 30 seconds and the footage I watched of Makabu seems like he doesn't much like pressure. Bellew by stoppage is a very real possibilty too, as much as his detractors want to say otherwise and "his glass chin" might well be the reason these people who are wrting Bellew off throw Makabu under the bus.

 

Watch the fights, don't rely on boxrec stats. Mchunu is noting like Mayweather. If anything he's an abysmal version of Erislandy Lara. You act like Bellew has a glass chin who's only been knocked out while killing himself to make weight against Adonis Stevenson- whom, you might not need boxrec to know, punches quite hard.

I'll tell you what, if Makabu doesn't walk through Bellew and blast him out with ease, like you say he's going to do, report here on Sunday and admit YDKSAB. I don't want to hear any crybaby excuses like a saw when Crolla beat Barroso.

Although I can envisage it now. Bellew's on drugs, Makabu was paid to take a dive, poor stoppage, robbery (if Bellew wins on points, although according to you the judges won't be needed, so the excuse will be null and void).

 

Let's get him under that bus!!!!

 

Damn Bellew bombed him out!
Awesome performance! :yep

 

:deal He is rolling around with the corpses of Klitschko, Martin & Barroso
