Views On Tony Bellew

Discussion in 'British Boxing Forum' started by Mandanda, Dec 11, 2010.


  1. I think he'd be better if he worked off the jab more and didn't try to force things so much, even though it would make for a more boring style. Why not keep things at range and then let the bombs fly if his opponent makes a mistake?

    Tbh your advice wouldn't even mean he'd be boring. It actually be more pleasing from a cosmetic stylistic viewpoint. Seeing him put shots toghther off the end of the jab would be lovely to watch. He would set up shots better. Just look at Hearns and McClellan.

    I'd prefer to see that Tony then the Tony we have at the moment where i'm in fear he's going to get hit again with another bomb. He can do himself world of good if he works that jab and feints a bit more.

    My view On Bellew is move up in weight and stop killing yourself to make the 175lb limit! He looks like a boiled chicken. Needs to do strengthen his legs they look like chicken legs.
     
  10. He can and does do it, but when he doesn't have so much success it seems that the jab becomes a token effort and he's in a rush to get the power punches home, when this happens he becomes sloppy. He also stays in range without keeping his opponent occupied which can lead to him taking unnecessary shots. Bellew seems to be pretty clued up on evasive maneuvers when in close but is a bit sluggish in getting his counters in. It would be good to see him fighting with a bit more urgency as well. Hope he does well in the future.

    He has always been limited and now he is starting to realise he is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is and never will be, what a delusional c*nt
     
  12. Is it the fact that he thinks Basshunter makes good music? Just thinking about that music makes me want Bellew to give him a pasting.

    He is getting better all the time.I think this fight with Clev may be a bit soon but why not give it a go.He is a brave man taking the fight at such short notice.
