No? Really? Just watched the fight and it was clear to see that Bomber didn't plan for any other outcome than an early stoppage. However, if the likes of McIntosh and McKenzie fancy a crack at him now then if Bellew produces what we know he can then the Cleverly fight may still be a possibility. Every fighter has a bad night, unfortunately for Tony it came at the worst possible time.
I havnt seen the fight but bellew having skinny legs ain't the same as khan-khan had massive shoulders, a huge upperbody for a LW, totally out of proportion for an effective boxer. Bellew ain't a cruiser IMO, and LHW is still a bigger div but anyone else think clev alwyas looks physically bigger than bellew? As long as he keeps the self belief up, works hard and stays humble(whilst also staying brash and confident) I reckon bellew vs clev will be on in a few years still just like with jeffries, what happened could be a reality check for him
SAFC, I agree entirely. It was the timing more than anything which makes this a terrible night for Tony. He still will have many opportunities to display his abilities, but this was the start of an ascension to the big leagues (or at least his dream fight) Hopefully Warren will give him another chance. The technical issues need sorting out. Knowing Tonys schooling and studying of the game, I have no doubt he will be even more critical than we are being, and will attempt to sort it out!!!
