Bellew-Chilemba RBR

Glad I wasn't the only one that thought the commentary was biased. I think they didn't see a lot of Chilemba's lightning-fast clean shots. They really got in quick. I also think they assumed Bellew was winning every round that he didn't get clowned. Probably seemed like a safe assumption given that it was in Bellew's backyard, but it's not their job to justify the judges cards that they expect. I find Jim Watt's cards (which are usually more or less signed on to by his partner) to be outside the realm of reason about half the time, and this is certainly one of them. I had it 116-112 Chilemba. There were a lot of close rounds, but they were mostly early rounds that I thought Bellew nicked. To me, a draw is about the best Bellew could have hoped for in his wildest dreams. I think if you gave all the toss-up rounds to one guy, it would have been either 119-109 Chilemba or 114-114. A draw is okay with me, but just barely. There were literally rounds that Watt gave Bellew in which he didn't land a punch.
