Phil Edwards better jump in and stop Brudov already before this gets awkward for Bellew.

Going on this. Huck will flatten Bellew.

Brudov still might.

It was low and once it was, under the rules Bellew is technically allowed to take up to 5 minutes, not loads the ref can do there.

Yeah but Bellew was absolutely hanging all over Brudov. You dont ever see the ref pulling the home fighter up for doing that.

In fairness to Tony, he was doing this on the way up at 175lbs - both guys hurt, slugfest, etc

He can tell him to fight on, we see it all the time.

Don't panic lads, Tony's got his lucky undies on

Exactly. Bellew just landed one low a minute ago and you didnt see him stopping the fight!

Think he might have added some extra weight to them in that 7th.

columbo wrote:Ahhh the ref lets Bellew cling on for dear life and Brudov ends up landing a low blow. Joke.

It's not the ref's fault Brudov threw a stupid low blow.

He stopped it to warn Bellew, but Brudov wasn't interested in the break, so the fight could go on.

It's funny how Bellew has landed two since and the ref hasnt given Brudov time to recover huh.

Don't worry, it looks like it's still going to go according to script now.

He wasnt gonna give him that long to recover anyway!

Surely they won't chuck him in with Huck. But what are the alternative options I suppose.

Another Bellew borefest (though I missed the seventh as was watching C5)

No doubt he will sell it as a world class masterclass just like McKenzie II

I think he loses to several of the top CW's. He can beat a few for sure, but I don't think he'll prosper at top level vs. Hernandez, Huck, Jones and the like.

Dickinson.

For a first bout at a new weight he's doing alright; he's not in with a pushover and he's been cracked hard and is having to work and think.

Krzysztof Wlodarczyk is the WBC champ and the WBC have already installed Tony at #6 in their rankings.

Incredibly, Silvio Branco is one slot ahead of him. Branco must be almost fifty by now ?! An eliminator against Branco would be an easy night's work for Tony.

JP Hernandez would dismantle him inside 4 rounds. The guy's a world class technician.
