[Black Sam Bellamy]

A night with Tony Bellew. Seriously who buys this ?

[skanksta]

I always pay - mug that I am.

[skanksta]

Probably a long, close fight - so scores between rounds...

[Delta Jay]

Have some fights been dropped from this card? I thought it had more than 2 good ones.

Great shorts on Chelli

[skanksta]

10-9 LLMC

Not a lot happened and could go the other way or draw. But Cullen has it range and seems to be making it his kind of fight.

[skanksta]

30-27
Cullen keeping it low and Chelli swinging desperate single shots. Chelli with nasty eye damage.

[brilo33]

got 3rds close to zak

[bigped]

2-2 after 4 rounds ?

[Coco]

Close enough for a lot of different scores

[skanksta]

Chelli bashing his hands together to gee himself up in R5>

Cullen is outboxing him at range. He looks dangerous and strong, but his losing all the rounds unless he lands some big ones and he's not really.
5-0 Cullen, comms disagreee

[Delta Jay]

I’ve got it 2 apiece but will give it to Chelli because of that terrible North Face tattoo

[skanksta]

Chelli is starting to damage, but it's still close and even.

68-66 LLMC

but everyone else seems to think Chelli is comfortably ahead

[Delta Jay]

It’s one of them fights. I gave LLMC most of the early now Cullen has took over. Not bad tho is it?

[Contendeh]

Interesting fight location!

Is this Eddie Hearn’s house or something? His backyard?

[skanksta]

Sky suddenly notice a Cullen body shot !
I've got Cullen 96-94 but that's controversial.

Yeah it was pretty good.
I felt that Cullen had it on technical long range scoring. He had to stand and fight now and then - which was when Chelli seemed to be winning - but he was holding his own and making it a long, technical fight again.
96-94 but If you prefer Chelli's power no complaints.

[Twinkle Toes]

Chelli comfortably.

[skanksta]

Split draw.
Seems fair - neither guy ever went and out left you with no doubt. Chelli had one burst in the 6th when he won a round clearly. Everything else was

Chelli was robbed mate.

[margaret thatcher]

A lot of the rounds neither was very convincing over the other tbh

[skanksta]

Ah - he wasn't robbed.
Cullen maybe lucky, but it was "What style you like?" type of close fight for me.

The Savage should be fun...
