Bomber did us proud last night (and so did Frankie!). I was in his changing room (alongside Frankie) before and after the fight. He is quite a character!

Well done Bomber

Thanks for that mate. Very impressive performance though the stoppage looked premature to me. Loved the excerpt from the post-fight interview

Brilliant. I love it. Can't wait to see you when you're fighting one of the top Brits, Tony.

No I was hiding in a box ........

I was mainly chatting with Frankie, Frankie's brother (John, who happens to be a top lad) and Arnie.

Will try to, at the next show

Why did the lad look at his corner instead of watching Bomber hammering towards him???

Nice quick left that started it, looking good so far

That was the first time ive ever seen him fight and he looked quality

who is next for Bomber?

I'd like to see him v Tony Oakey.

wonder if he'd fight Fry or Dilks - they'd be good fights, probably all mates though.

Class that Bomber, how about a fight with McIntosh?

Take him out quicker than Clev and hopefully set that fight up for you. Frank can only have one top boy at light heavy and your catching up fast.

"I'm the f*cking knockout man!!!" Easily the best boxing quote of 2009.

No disrespect to bomber, of course- but the opponent lost this one with a very silly mistake. He didn't look hurt, just looking at his corner for instruction, when he should have been defending himself.

Bomber was in the right, of course- and from the ref it seemed more of a "what else can I do" stoppage.

In the past, when fighters were given nicknames rather than choosing them, this could have earned him the nickname "no mercy."

bellew looks very lean and sharp. i think he looks a better prospect than cleverly, who to me is abit repetitive, bit predictable despite some good speed, body punching and experience. there is power and variety in bomber's work - sometimes you need to have a sensational quality to go far in boxing. sometimes - as with cleverly - it is about being solid. perhaps if we keep watching, we'll see who's who. i know you're not allowed to say anything about cleverly, because he's done things at british and commonwealth level already (disclaimer).

I am impressed, this kid has got potential. I dont give praise to many but you will go along way.

opticald,

He didn't embarrass himself at all. I just don't think you understand.

I wonder how Bomber would react after beating tony oakey. "YYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS!!! COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

YYYYYEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I BEAT HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

what a bell!

he was clearly excited! it was a big step up in class and he ate him up. he was shocked at how easy he got him out of there. lets not forget the last person velecky fought, went the distance with paul smith,and velecky k.od him in 1 round. bellew got him out of there in 1 minute. ok he went a little nuts but whats wrong with that? he done an amazing job, and i know cleverly will watch that and take allot of notice and so he should!

iv said this before, bellew is gunna get hold of cleverly 1 day and destroy him, i dont expect people to agree with my view coz they see cleverly on a regular basis, and are rightly so impressed. but i know when bellew fights cleverly, he is going to hurt him in a very bad way, people who dont know bellew think hes just a puncher. haha, well what they dont know is that bellew is a great tactician and when he fights some1 who is a boxer, they will be very surprised at how bellew is able to box and doesnt just go out trying to k.o people.

well done bomber aka smash machine haha, the titles will soon come just keep doing what your doing

its only a matter of time till bellew gets hold of a belt and i just hope cleverly stays unbeaten when they do meet,

I'm not sure. Velecky certainly can bang- his record shows that- but he's 35, and lost a few (some by stoppage) and lets be honest, Velecky's opposition has been somewhat limited.

To call it a "step up in class" is somewhat debatable. A potentially dangerous opponent, for sure, but I think the real step up in class would be eg McIntosh.

For sure, it was a good win, and a strong performance- and I can understand the joy at stopping a guy who is a noted puncher so early- but lets not read TOO much into it.

lets not also forget that, he went the full distance with the current world s.m champion!

it was a step up, velecky has fought some class fighters and no1 has ever destroyed him the way the bomber did,

i would give a million to 1 if cleverly ended that in the first round.
now am not saying that means bellew is better coz cleverly couldnt do that in the firs round, but what i am saying is that bellew has something cleverly will never ever have as long as he lives, and thats frightening punch power.

and allot of people who dont get to watch bellew often will say, oh hes powerfull but cleverly is a better boxer, all i say to that is please watch him a few fights then make your mind up who is the better boxer.

bellew will k.o. most of his opponents in the first few rounds coz of his power, but if he does come up against some1 who can take his shots, am 100% sure people will be shocked at just how well he can box.

bellew v cleverly lets get it on! who wouldnt want to watch that?

Aye, it's almost as embarrassing as a man who bets on favourites calling everyone else, including those who don't bet, 'mugs'.

You fornicating tool.

Goodbye Lirva (aka Opticald).

bellew v cleverly lets get it on! who wouldnt want to watch that?

you keep talking about cleverly. clev is fighting for the ebu title later this year.and bomber won't even fight for the british title this year i dont think!! cleverly is a LONG way ahead of bomber at the minute.I have no doubts that clev will become world champon in around 12-18 months. probs 2 or 3 years before bomber make's it onto the world stage IF HE DOES.then they will fight. cleverly by mid-late stoppage if the fight happened today. havn't seen bellew go past 4 yet.
