Horrible match up.It put me to sleep the first time-I will pass on this nonsense.Eddie is slipping if he thinks fans will be excited about this :deadmess.
Agreed. You're going to have around 15,000 people pumped for the Kessler-Froch fight and this fight is gonna come on and suck all that energy from them and deflate the atmosphere. For the record if Chilemba starts quicker this time he'll win a comfortable but rather boring UD win.
I'm interested to see it, having had some time to recover from the horrors of the first fight I think and hope Bellew will make adjustments and fight a much much smarter fight this time but who knows. Chilemba might just be the level he can't get past.
Suppose the level of the fight fits the bill for a ppv event even if the first fight was a stinker. You never know though, with all the flak Bellew has taken and with a 'Warrior' pep talk from his pal who's topping the bill he might just come out windmilling. And he can afford to do it if Chilemba really doesn't carry anymore firepower than he showed in the first fight. If he gets picked off then he gets picked off, but it's now sink or swim time for Bellew. On the other hand he could disappear onto the backfoot again as he doesn't seem to have much natural instinct for how a fight is going, and doesn't trust his corner anymore if his comments after the first fight are anything to go by.
Someone on here predicted a draw before the 1st fight. Was it bam bam? I can't remember man. I know someone did though. Fair play to whoever it was. :good Speak up now or forever hold your peace! I thought Chilemba would cause an "upset".....he kind of did. Well, delayed it a bit. Jokes aside, I personally think Chilemba will end this one before it gets to the judges. He will punish Tony for being to conservative. If not Chilemba, someone will down the line.
People will have low expectations for this because of the first fight,this might suprise a few people if Bellew go for it more and Chilemba is in better condion by not having the flu
The rematch may actually be a good fight. Chilemba should get going faster and Bellew should come out swinging for the fences because he's under massive pressure to do the business
Yes. And also just his second fight with his new trainer, who Chilemba claims will teach him much more. Also now Chilemba will have even more confidence. All in all a very risky fight for Bellew. You have to give him big credit for that.
