Tony Bellew/Ovill Mckenzie Result?

[jonp]

who was the ref?

[damianhucker1]

Bellew looked to me like he was going to win it anyway , and id have not ruled out him stopping ovil either , but stoppage was crap , props to bomber for coming back the way he did , but a rematch of that one wouldnt go a miss

[Carbo]

First time I've seen Bellew, I'm ashamed to say, and I like what I see and hear. Don't think he'll go far beyond domestic level, but he should be a Farnell-style ticket seller. He's both vulnerable and a heavy hitter, and he's so incredibly fit. He's got a super personality, too: again, right out of the Farnell book, confident and open. Really, really like him. Cracking TV fighter.

Good luck to him.

we like the bomber up here in jockland but that was poor refereeing. give the boy a rematch tony.

[Dioufy]

Totally embarressing talk from Bomber there.

"I'm original, I'm the mother-fornicating best"

You will get spanked at a higher level you clown.

how can you call him a clown you tit :!:

he just provided us a great fight, he has ball's like an elephant im a big fan.

Great heart, but I've heard him talk like that before after a fight - I think it was against an African I had never heard of.

[Asterix]

Maybe Bellew's going to move up to cruiser then? It looks like it would be a good idea. Nice win tonight. A bit scary to start with, but maybe Bellew was lacking a bit of confidence? He seemed all right once he got going.

[Yes We Can]

ref took the shine of an amazingly fun to watch fight

agreed, well entitled to be pumped up straight after that fight. It's not like he said it in the interview.

Bellew vs Cleverley would be a great next fight.

[damianhucker1]

off to bed for a couple of hours now before khan fight , ill watch anything i miss afterwards .

Overall not a great show , but not awful either , i can grudgingly accept it being ppv value , but wouldnt put up with too many of this standard , if the khan fights a cracker ill rescind this comment

[charlieb]

Oh my days!

I'm never betting on a prospect again. My poor feckin' heart.

I really like Bellew, I think his power's legit, but he's just so lethargic defensively. He's going to get murdered by someone with a bit of accuracy and power, and I'm doubtful it'll be in much higher a class than he was in with tonight.

Bellew's found his level and he shouldn't be fighting guys above this level until he shows some serious improvement.

Worst.stoppage.ever

How many times is that he has been put down in his (short) career?

I'm sorry but bomber hasn't got the chin to match his boxing style. These guys are fringe british title level guys, they are not even the best domestically and yet he is getting put on his bum. If you're gona be a gung-ho power puncher, then you need a decent chin, otherwise get back in the gym and learn some defensive skills!

Also I thought some of Farnell's advice in the corner tonight was nothing short of ridiculous. Where was the tactical guidance? It was all 'think of your family' steretypical Rocky stuff, where was the calm head in the corner which seemed to be needed? Where was the tellings off for going in gung-ho?

I am not at all convinced! But like some of you have said, he's entertaining and watchable. Cleverly would school him.

[SAPFO]

Bellew at cruiser I think would be better.

[Dioufy]

Ref needs shooting.

[hurlock]

bellew goes down like he's been shot due to being tight at the weight, he may make the weight but it takes it out of him ive allway's said his optimum weight is 13-7 & with gravy in his belly he'll bang harder, i think his power is drained aswell.

[charlieb]

Bellew at cruiser I think would be better.

That's a fair point if you ask me. He's got the speed and punch of a cruiserweight.

Looked as though he was drugged in there tonight, very sloppy.

[gizmo1]

who was the ref?

Phil 'EFFING' Edwards. I'm not surprised!

to be fair im not too knowledgable about most of the trainers etc but i agree he wasnt given the right advice in the corner , it was all motivational which i dont believe was right in that situation against mckenzie

[hurlock]

the ref had money on bellew

there was only going to be one winner, ovil is like bruno in the late rounds tony was going to be the witherspoon there :!:

[taffytoon]

THAT STOPPAGE WAS A DISGRACE Flash knock down (look at the right hands he had taken prior to the left hook landing) and he was defending himself when the fight was stopped.

[leforge]

It was bs stoppage! They should fight again.

[funso banjo baby]

Great fight. Stoppage ten seconds too soon. Bomber is good value but his legs are too skinny, its enzo again.

[Horse]

Stoppage ten seconds too soon.

I don't think you can say it was 10 seconds too soon, when McKenzie could have made a recovery from the knockdown.

He might have been able to finish the fight. He could have still won.

[taffytoon]

Only 15 seconds of the round left as well

[TheCobra]

Exactly, who knows what could have happened, we got denied that. The fans suffer as do smaller boxers such as McKenzie who aren't supposed to win. Boxing is just crap at times like this.
