Disappointed with Bellew

[King Tubby]

Getting boring now all this 'hatred'. Much rather people like Crolla and Rees or Murray behaving themselves and having a right good fight. Same as all this other rubbish, 'I'm a Scouser, so I love fighting.' 'Liverpool is a fighting City.' Boring.

so let me get this straight you believe this off a man who swears down he pays his fighters but yet every single one has left him and said they do not get paid.

we have heard frank say he has never not paid his fighters yet countless fighters have been on social media sites saying other wise.
if you want to believe what he says about offering bellew the fight then you can believe what u want but all i will say is look at the fight interview the other night and when bellew constantly asks clev why wouldnt u take the fight answer me clev is completely stuck for words!
not once after about 5 times of asking does clev reply coz he knows its true he would not take the rematch so why would you use this video as tho it has any merit what so ever???????

The fight was never offered, it is a fact bellew told frank he would go to wales and accept poor money as long as he could have the re match!

some people believe anything they hear. just watch the interview from the other night and see if you think bellew asked for the re match and look at clevs face

Simmer down Junior. Someone not had their meds?

I loved how animated bellew was when putting his leg through the rope & then realised knowbody was stopping him & put it back & calmed down.

I'm all for psyching out an opponent etc. I get that entirely but bellew seems to rely on intimidation & loses self control like some lunatic bully & it does mug him badly. I think he actually spat at cleverley after celebrating.
I don't think bellew is that stupid to act in such fashion on purpose?however I think clev is more cut up from being beaten as he talked of giving up fighting etc

[Gazmac81]

to be honest i take it all with a pinch of salt , wasnt it after the first fight that Bellew says that him and nathan cooked up this beef well in advance of the first fight , it was all a plan and they actually respected each other

im sure again after the fight theyll have respect , that says if Bellew takes a beating then hes going look a right mug , Clev coming across the better man in all these exchanges.

The fight game is 90% hype and 10% fight.

You think Chisora vs Haye would have sold like it did if they had acted all pleasant and courteous at the post fight presser as opposed to fighting each other?

I'm not condoning Bellew's behaviour at all but let's have some perspective.

[johnswan1]

This tells us all we need to know about Bellew and his false behaviour. It's the post fight presser from the first fight where Tony congratulates Clev and tells him he's a good champion. He has no excuses about weight issues. When asked about the bad blood he admits that boxing is all about money and that hype sells fights. He says he respected Clev all along. When asked about a rematch he referred the journalist to Warren and said that he would always do whatever made the most sense financially. There was no begging for a rematch here, and Clev said he knew it would be one of his toughest fights and said nothing about not being out of second gear or that it was an easy fight for him.

Stop trying to dupe the fans Bellew you knob! All you're doing is proving to the real fans that you're full of shit.

i thought it was funny when Stevenson was reminding that Bellew was calling him a midget after he knocked him about.

Bellew has a terrific punch when it lands but the guy does come across a bit hyper and cant contol his emotions , he was nice in calm in the ring though the other night and took his time , he has vulrabilites when caught.

cant see Clev stopping him but think hell win on points quite handily with his inside work.

its a fight i want to see and it will be funny watching the build up but i feel Bellew will be the one that comes out of it as the bad guy and be eating some humble pie at the end.

He puts himself up there though to be shot down though .

Is the post fight interview of fight 1 on youtube? It's all about selling the tickets.

This is Sky talking about. This is as manufactured as Chisora vs Haye.

[Gazmac81]

At least they got tore into each other in a brawl though , cameras flying about and bottles

wouldnt have looked as good if Del Boy walked from the desk and then quickly walked back like the Bellew Rope a dope

all good fun though

Thought it was funny the way Bellew made to get out the ring to attack Cleverly and when no one held him back he just got back in the ring, I am sure most of this crap is staged and much like Fury v Chisora people are just losing interest.

Yep embarassing and cringeworthy moment, if you're gona do something like that you have to surely follow it through? Get out of the ring and let people at ringside hold you back. The way he just got back in the ring he looked a right div.

Probably done it because Cleverly isn't bothered by him one bit. If Cleverly had made to back off I suspect Bellew would have continued with his "attack"

Silly scouse wanker is the term that springs to mind
