Is Bellew on the magic mushrooms tonight?

I didn't score it but I think Dodd by 4/5?

It's frightening the contrast of character between fight mode and commentator/pundit

He's a great pundit / commentator, as is Froch

Both twats (Bellew more) when it comes to their own fights but its a selling thing

Appleyard looked like he wanted it more in the last, think he just edged the last two as Dodd tired, but I've given it to Dodd by 2 points.

Dodd vs. Barrett for the British Title
and
Appleyard vs. Cardle next I reckon...

I had it to Dodd by a couple in the end

Bellew was a bit too tight with his scorecard but I wasn't talking about the scoring.
Just his general comments on the way the fight was panning out, what was happening in the ring and just generally listening to him (i often struggle listening to Scousers and particularly struggle listening to Tony Bellew when he's in pre-fight mode or Pretty Ricky mode)

Yeah why not. Bellew shouldnt have been allowed to be a pundit on the fight too biased for his coldwell friends an obvious conflict of interest.

Dodd takes the win in a good fight .

Appleyard loading up far too much and needs to relax a bit .

Agreed. Really poor scoring from Bellew who was also trying to talk up a rematch at the end. Nonsense! I had Dodd 117-112 same as the judges pretty much. Sky's punditry really does treat the viewers like they are stupid

A shame really as Bellew used to tell it like it is and he's a good commentator otherwise

Well done Appleyard on being totally honest , seems like a really good kid .More to come from him in the future .

Looking forward to this one. Got £200 on Ryder by ko,tko or dq.

Fuckin hell thats a big punt. Most I've ever bet is a score. I won 80 odd notes on a football coupon today and I was delighted

Bet victor would only let me stick £100 on at 8.5. Got another £100 on with Willhill at 8.

It's not necessarily that I think it will happen but the value on it when I think it's a 50-50 and that Fielding is fragile enough to get stopped by him.

What's that in fractions?

Fair play - I'm hoping for a Ryder win

I'll get £1650 back.

Like I say I ain't necessarily that confident but sometimes you just think you see value. Similar to Teper and Hammer v Price by KO that I bet on.

RF is making heavy weather of this so far.

Styles and height difference could spoil this one .

Gabe Rosado likes to say 'you know.'

RF very red on the arms, protecting the body, but a few getting through

Not sure if it's freckles but again going back to what I said earlier think there might be a bit of acne all over Fielding back.

I'm not even going to try to score this one. Way too messy.

Ryder easily turning Fielding in the clinches. Fielding landed his best work close to the end of the 5th tho.

Some people do actually just have spotty backs you know, others have acne.

turning into a real poor fight this one .
