    The quote tweets on that are sensational.

    If ever they bring back the inbetweeners, Bull**** Bellew would be a great addition.

    In one video, he portrays himself as a man of the people, but in his next tweet, he plays the part of a greedy corporate employee.

    If IPTV could nail it down where they show replays, as DAZN and Sky do, rather than live streaming, the giants would have no comeback because they might be able to close down the free live streams that are easily found on Google and social media. Yet the services are hidden behind paywalls where you need a VPN just to log in before you can even subscribe and watch anything; they're professionally run and even have 24/7 support now.

    The only reason I went back to Sky and DAZN is simply because I don't watch anywhere near as many live events anymore; plus, certain events overlap, and pretty much Sky's only saving grace is you can' catch up on the sporting events and the ability to rewind, etc. Same with DAZN, plus they have now also linked with Warren,

    Yet I am paying 2-3x for that privilege, and that's with the discounts.

    More humiliation for Bellend in the responses there, who seems to get off on being humiliated at this point.

    Seen him on a podcast with Barker this morning making out he beat a prime Haye and that he was outboxing Usyk until he ‘got tired’ and that he’d confused Usyk with mind games. Aye alright Tony lad.

    The issue with Bellew is that he hasn't changed mentally or emotionally; he remains fundamentally the same individual who used to post on this board back in the day.

    He put on the performance of his career against Makabu, after the war against Masternak, but had previously sold us a dud in the Cleverly rematch and then chased the Haye fight for obvious reasons.

    A prime Haye dismembers Bellew, and against Usyk, he boxed just like he did against Adonis until he ran out of gas, which is no bad thing, but to stay relevant and not stagnate further, he will eventually start telling people he was better than Conteh.

    People like Tony Bellew end up becoming case studies.

    It's that kind of narcissistic deflection where they want to seem low-key, unbothered, and humble while subtly ensuring their name is out there in the mix, especially when it suits them. Bellew attempts to mirror humility whilst quietly pursuing the same ego-driven pursuit of relevance, but he has completely lost himself in his own false narrative due to a lack of self-awareness, among other factors.

    Perfectly put.

    Listened to him on a non-boxing podcast with a person that doesn’t know boxing and he tells his fair share of fibs. Saying opponents were undefeated when they weren’t, saying he ‘rendered him unconscious’ when the opponent got stopped on his feet.

    Big whopper.

    Yup, when they fabricate and lie about insignificant details, it’s over.

    I remember my great-grandfather telling me he once boxed Sugar Ray Robinson — I was so impressed that I checked his pro record… only to find out his last fight was in 1932, when Robinson would've been just 11 years old.

    Bellew though is an enduring gift — or maybe a grift that keeps on giving. No wonder he became cannon fodder for the likes of Tibbs and Lirva on here.

    From his post archive.

    "Believe me, I am not a fully fledged cruiserweight, and David was. He’s the greatest CW this country has ever seen. I shouldn’t be talked about in the same sentence."

    You can almost guarantee that a PhD student somewhere will eventually earn their doctorate just by running Bellew’s digital footprint through modern AI tools.

    Same goes for Hearn — but at least Fast Car, despite his silver spoon, earned his start in sales/promotion the hard way: from door-to-door sales to poker to boxing, an arc that actually tracks.

    Adam Smith - Hearn grew up in the hard playgrounds of Eton where ruffians had to be dealt with by challenging them to a game of conkers.

    He was outboxing Usyk though. Many do think it. Usyk just ‘downloading data’ though wasn’t he, eye roll. Whether or not Usyk was always going to take over with or without Bellew being ****ed. Bellew was outboxing Usyk and landing the better shots in the first half or so.

    The best comeback from Hearn was when he said KSI went to a posher school than him.

    And, talking of conkers, didn't he bully Jodie Marsh?

    Love how this myth still gets thrown about. It was a case of Bellew doing a bit better than expected. Usyk took him to a place he couldn't live with and broke him down.

    Usyk could have ended that fight whenever he wanted to.
