    :patsch How is this a mediocre opponent?

    Good fight, one Tony can win.

    Looking like a good card too with Derry vs Crolla on the undercard.

    if you have 2 functional eyes and watched the balonti fight did you notice how many punches fell off target from bellew when he trapped the argie on the ropes don't give me this bull**** ''oh it was because of the cut'' most his punches fell off target before the cut, ppl find excuses for the man becuase they like his attitude and all. and his power will not translate to world level, ppl pretend to think he's been knocking out his opponents unconscious.

    Chilemba is a decent fighter. This will be his biggest test apart from Cleverly even. Maybe greater, he had little to lose in that one even though he was in his home town. Cleverly was expected to win and he was always going to be able to come again, but losing this one ain't an option.

    Not seen a great deal of Chilemba, Sounds like a fantastic fight for Tony. He doesn't need likes of Bolanti. He needs real legit tests and if he's good enough he should win by way people are talking.

    What does Chilemba bring to table (style, strength's/weaknesses) fella's?.

    He was a little unlucky not to get the Oosthuized decision from what I remember, very close fight though. And he clearly beat Miranda but it was a tough fight, with a few close rounds. He can hit pretty hard, and he's got a nice jab. Very close fight this.

    I don't wanna call this one early but Bellew loses this one against an underrated Chilemba. On points mind you, but I can see him getting frustrated and unable to break through Chilemba's solid defence.

    I'd also say that Chilemba has consistently faced a much higher calibre of opponent than Bellew.

    The idiots on here calling Bellew boring would be the same ones slating him for being gung ho. He needed to fight that way vs Miranda. But he showed vs Mcintosh and Bolonti before the cut thay he can still be exciting.
