Awful comments by Dirt 5hitter. He needs to apologise.

Of course he does, what he said was very offensive to Bomber, the kind of stuff we'd all be justifiably angry about if it were said to us. But while I don't know the bloke, he's never struck me as a nasty type from what I've read on here. I'm just hoping he got the wrong end of the stick, this is all a misunderstanding, and that he'll come back, explain himself, and give Bomber the apology he deserves.

It would be a sad day if this site lost someone like Bomber, who I give all the praise in the world to for coming on here and discussing things so openly with fight fans, because he decided 'sod this for a game of soldiers if they're going to talk to me like that'. He would be a terrible loss and it might put off other fighters from following his example.

But I find it hard to believe DS could have said what he said if he understood the circumstances. You just wouldn't do that, would you. I really hope DS comes back, says 'sorry mate, I got that well wrong and I'd never have said it if I knew the score', and there's a happy ending to this sad incident.

The fact the words "RIP" are on Bellew's attire suggest the man is sporting a tribute to somebody close to him who is sadly no longer here.

I saw the pride in Bellew's father's face when he found out this wonderful gesture was in place so for DS to utter such dross is unacceptable.

Bellew has made himself readily available for comments and criticisms on this, and other sites, regarding his performances but to attack a personal gesture which relates to the passing of his Grandmother is nothing short of malicious.
