The official Cleverly v Bellew in play discussion thread

[reggaereggae]

Wow. I thought Sprott looked good and was going to provide opposition.... But Joshua is a serious and accurate puncher. The odds were only 'even' for Josh to win in round 1.

He finishes well, throws strong and quick combos.

I go back to what I posted before, if he can take a shot he's world champ no probs. there's no one really there after Wlad really..... Wilder. Possibly.... Who else?

[Rexob]

Dave Coldwell going all 'No Luke. I am your father' on Tony's ass.

[Horse]

As if they haven't had enough chances to ban terry o Connor.

Josh rolls on tho. eff the nonbelievers

What's he done wrong?

[milpool]

'Welcome to all the viewers on Sky box office and the millions watching around the world on illegal streams...'

[Finn]

The whole sky team seem to have forgotten Joshua has never had his chin tested ....is it any good ?

I'm guessing its not that great

And don't seem to have realised he doesn't have one punch knockout power.

It's his chin that's my main concern. You can get away without one punch ko power if you are ultra fit, offensively brilliant and very heavy handed.

I'm not saying he is all that stuff but he could possibly end up being.

[rossij8]

It was fairly impressive but that's Sprott's third first round stoppage loss in roughly a year. He was never the most durable but his chin has looked very poor lately.

Good shout earlier

[handsofstone]

Sprott took about 3 punches too many IMO,i agree with Jim,Michael couldve been left in a crumpled heap before the ref sauntered over

[Sklar]

What was Jim on about?

No clue.

Beast of a man is Joshua. Really impressive physique, power, strength, speed, etc... Improving technique and punch selection too. I think he should be wary about dropping down to the body too much, though. No need. Exposes the head.

[lefty]

Yes lefty you no her it's yours dads lover that plates ya mum out in the 3some while you bash the bulb watchin u fornicator lol and ya nana got the buzz bar smashin her punani

Whatever you've been smoking or injecting it's some strong poo and I think you should share it around to be fair! Dont be greedy now.

I'm comin for ya lefty its personal

Quality mate. Make sure you bring some custard creams along with ya. Cheers fella.

[SNG]

I just hope he's got a chin, he could be a real star.

I was surprised they bothered with it considering Joshua has been marmelising everyone. Sprott does have more offensive capabilities than someone like Bakhtov, but when he is in with a guy with power and offensive technique he is gonna get KOd early. Meaning his offensive capabilities are as good as useless.

[lefty]

McCrory looks like he's on in the midst of an mid life crisis.

[reggaereggae]

I sense he's a Price in waiting.

Or Bruno... Exciting, musclebound, heavy-handed.... The good news is there doesn't seem to be much out there heavy wise..

I understand the Bruno comparisons.... However Josh is fighting far better guys than Bruno was at that stage. And his speed, accuracy, finishing and fluency are far superior. Power equal maybe.

Way superior to Bruno, unless he's chinny.

I reckon Stevens is the top dog at HW, I'd fancy him to blast out Wlad.

[Boxerbeetle]

Fvcking hell, some of you guys must not have watched Sprott fight for about 5 years...that wasn't impressive at all, it was exactly what should have happened, Sprott is completely shot, we didn't learn a thing about AJ then.

[jameswilson]

Lord just get em in the frigging ring.

[jameswilson]

I do want Cleverly to win, but I reckon after this fight we might be talking about whether he will retire or not.

What more could he have done? He was fighting who he was fighting.

What on earth is this about?

[Monte Fisto]

Just entered an online scrabble tournament and I've heard one of the boxrec guys runs it! Can anyone put a good word in for me?

I'm not saying he could have done any more, just saying it didn't prove anything.

[Yes We Can]

Wouldn't put Joshua in that ball park personally. Better abillity maybe, but Bruno was 1 punch special.
