Not sure what to go with here. I've been on a decent winning run over the last couple of months and maybe I should find a bout I'm more confident on. The value bet is McIntosh straight win so might just have a couple of quid on that to keep it interesting. Best odds at the moment are....

McIntosh win 5/1 (sporting bet) by stoppage 6/1 (stan James)

Bellew win 2/9, by stoppage 8/11 (both with Ladbrokes)

Common opponent is Clev where Tony fared considerably better. Bellew can be hurt as Ovil knows but I reckon if Ovil catches anyone flush its lights out. I expect Bellew to take Danny out rounds 4-8 but I think ill go with the value bet of Danny to win by any method @ 5's.

Im gonna take Bellew to get off the floor to win.

Ive changed my mind loads of times on this fight,i want Danny to win but i think Bomber will,so im not betting.

I thought Bombers body didnt look quite right yesterday,looked skinnier i thought..

The ability and power are with Bellew. As long as the concentration is there too, Bellew stops McIntosh.

Bellew looks the fighter with momentum, and you'd have to favour him here, but Mac seems like he can punch a bit, and I think Tony could be vunerable to a big shot - he looked great against Cleverly, but maybe Clev doesn't really hit too hard...Mac is worth a stoppage win shocker with those odds.
I really home TB wins though, I'd love to see him get another shot at the big time.

I think bellew will play this one safe and box his way through 12 rounds to win. Going all out with macintosh could be a bad decision especially after he's been down against Mckenzie and ajisafe.

Macintosh looked intimidated to me.

From the videos.

But I thought Bellew looked hollowed out.

Maybe it`s confidence disguised as arrogance, but I don`t like the way Bomber disrespects his opponents. He said after the Cleverly fight (straight after) that it was a fair decision and that he knew that Cleverly had won the fight.

Now he is mouthing off saying he knows he won the fight and that he hates Cleverly again.

Make your mind up Bomber lad.

Exactly how I perceived it. Macintosh looked great at the weight too. Looks much wider and physically stronger than Bellew.

They both have suspect chins and above average power to knock each other out although perhaps Bellew is slightly better in both of these departments. McIntosh has better wins domestically and internationally but their performances against common opponent Cleverley were very different which would lead most to say Bellew should win this comfortably.

Having said that if McIntosh is focused and has had a good training camp then i expect him to pull off a mild upset and knockout Bellew anywhere between rounds 1-6, if the fight goes into the 7th then Bellew will win by stoppage any round between 7-12.

It could be worth doing a straddle bet:

McIntosh by stoppage rounds 1-6
Bellew by stoppage rounds 7-12

Think Bellew will win after Mcintoch puts him down early.

Bellew with ease, round 1 to 5 come on bomber

Do anyone agree that if Bomber did lose he will blame it on weight??

i think you mean does any one agree

and no is the answer to that.

since when has bellew ever blamed anything on his weight, he is always saying how he does the weight correctly, and a full week ago he showed a picture of him on the scales at 12 stone 6

bit of a stupid post really

Ok smart arse....
I bet if he got sparked he would blame the weight

definatley bellew 4-8 couple of quid on those rounds sounds tasty to me

I got 5/6 Bellew by stoppage a few weeks ago. I think he will keep it tight early on and force a mid to late stoppage.

Wonder if he'll mention him after the fight?

But he said he dont need Cleverly.......................

I think Bellew has the much better amateur background and schooling. he can use this much to his advantage, not get involved in a war and take a points win, much in the same way as the second Ovil fight.

McIntosh won't be able to outbox Bellew so will have to hope he can catch him with a power shot and test his chin.

I think the value is possibly Bellew points at around 7/2. I'd also be tempted on McIntosh at 5s though by any method just if he does prove more of a handful than we expect.

But then I have just noticed McIntosh has never been 12 rounds, only time he got close was the late KO in France when he was behind on all the cards and looked to have lost the fight. Hmm it's an interesting one!

If anyone has any 'ideas' on how I can watch this show without sky please let me know

Bellew rnds 7-9 is a good bet 9/2. Only way Mcintosh wins you'd think ko. 16s by dec huge price.

Get you to a pub&watch through the window ;;-)

Did the timkeeper just ring 11 bells instead of 10 for terry spinks.

Bellew to win in round 5 14/1.

It was indeed an 11 bell toll.
