I know hes lucky like that!! Tony is a really good boxer could be 1 of my fav domestically if and when he steps it up ie british then euro. Always entertaining fights. C'mon the 'bomber'!!!
just to let people know i was at the sexton fight, it was an amazing fight bellew was a couple of points down going into the last the bellew produced some devistating punches, he gave sexton a standing count, and sexton was completly gone. he looked all around the ring and didnt know where he was. it could/ should have been stopped but sexton being the warrior he is carried on and went the distance on rubbery legs. a great fight which bellew won on points. it was not telivised but i have it on tape somewhere i will have to have a lkook for it and put it up. as for the dickinson fight. i was also there and let me tell yous all that yes bellew was 3 points behind before he k.od dickinson, but before the fight bellews coach said this kid will come forward and trade with you, so go to war with him and youl knock him out. and it was proven to be the right tactics. it was a bit sloppy by bellew but it was his plan to stand and trade, if yous all seen the final against mick oconal (think thats how u spell his name) a year before bellew fought nothing like this and boxed a great fight only getting hit 2 times winning 16 -2 i believe. bellew has come on heaps n bounds under farnell and boxes nothing like he did as an amateur, bellew was in a weight he should have never been in and won a title 5 years in a row. he had less experiance than almost any amateur that has won any titles. (not bad considering he was a bit of a fatty at heavyweight haha) he had 47 fights won 40 and k.od 32
