Mairis Breidis as the mando? Thought the name rung a bell. He's the dude who knocked Manuel Charr spark out despite being outweighed by about 35lbs.

I'd say cruiserweight is the most competitive division in the sport right now.ElJefe wrote:What a night. Up off the deck to win by KO in the 3rd. Gets the world title around his waist and within 5 minutes had laid into Fwank, called David Haye "the bitch from Bermondsey" and compared himself to Floyd Mayweather. Unreal stuff, fair play to him
Hope nobody discredits the win though. Makabu is a very good fighter. Has solid wins over Kucher and Mchunu as well as KO power. Slightly annoyed to hear Froch say that Cruiserweight isn't a "dangerous division". I'd say it's arguably the most dangerous in the sport, in terms of standard of champions, depth of challengers and serious punchers - Lebedev, Glowacki, Huck, Briedis, Dorticos, Usyk - the list goes on. Brilliant achievement by Tony, hope he can get a few big fights and cement a legacy in the division.

Yeah that's the guy. Just stopped Durodola in 9. The guy who himself recently knocked out the Russian KO monster Kudryashov who was 18-0 with 18 KO's. He was defensively dire though Kudryashov that is and subsequently heavily exposed.jameswilson wrote:I think the exact words were 'fish eyes! you said I couldn't do it, now I have.'Counter-puncher wrote:He actually used the phrase fish eyes, that is gold, I genuinely lol'd there.

Can someone explain what fish eyes means? Is he referring to Frank allegedly?lefty wrote:"Fish eyes"
"Bitch from bermondsey" ...... and I'm sure there was a couple of others he mentioned that I can't even recall

I didn't see the fight as I went camping but I'm made up for him. He gets WAY too much flack on here and he's proved 'em all wrong.

Anyone know what's up between tony and fwank ? I recall their dispute, when Toby moved camps, if my memory is correct fwank kind of threw the towel in, and made a comment to the effect that it's no great loss as its only Bellew.

Very interesting what happens with Bellew I'm not going down the Makabu was a fraud route he was legit IMO and that win makes Bellew a legit guy at Cruiser.
I'm curious on his motivation and hunger now he achieved his dream in style last night you can't take that away from him.

Well said. I've never liked Bellew but fair play - and a good sport afterwards too.Old Jack J wrote:He might have been involved in some boring fights. He might talk a lot of bull to generate interest. He may not be able to live with the Stevenson of the sport.
Whatever the reason you have for disliking him, it's still good to see his life's ambition and training pay off.

Didn't Fwanky basically call Bellew an expectant moaner who wasn't grateful for what Fwanky did for him? Something like that anywayJimJim2009 wrote:Anyone know what's up between tony and fwank ?

Remember, at the time Fwanky sent Cleverley in to Bellew's backyard defending Clev's ( paper ) title? After that, Clev was obviously Fwanks main man.
Turned out to be a great career move for Bellew though. Hearn has done an amazing job with him, managing to land a world title. Would never have thought that would happen. Fair play to them both.

Just got round round to watching this card,it was pretty boring if im honest,Farell/Yates was a good fight but the rest were meh
Bellew/Makabu was a cracker though and im happy to see Tony do it,he deserves massive credit i thought Ilunga would probably KO him but after getting put on his arse in the 1st he regrouped well and the last left hook that finished Makabu off was a sickner
He does wear his heart on his sleeve and is a bit OTT sometimes but he deserves it,he brutally KO'd a dangerous fighter,yet another Brit world champ

Recall Bomber complementing FW at every opportunity, when he was a BoxRec forum poster years ago.
Well done to Bellew for seizing his opportunity, getting up and scoring a big KO in another terrific fight for the cruiserweight division.
Who'd have thought he'd go on to arguably have a better career than Cleverly.

Fair play, you can't knock his achievements, but then in the after fight presser he called himself "the Scouse Tommy Hearns" and made himself look stupid.

Fair play to Bellew. One of the more positive third round knockouts that Goodison has seen in recent years.
