was an awful boring fight the last time

hopefully the bomber will live up to his nickname this time and throw some meaningful punches

I blame George Groves.

Chilemba by UD.

Awful clash of styles can't see the rematch being any different

Ok, the last fight wasn't exactly exciting but it was very evenly matched and we are usually crying out for high level evenly matched fights on undercards. If Bellew is to have a chance of competing for a genuine world title then he will have to be able to figure out and beat guys like Chilemba. It will be interesting to see what Tony does differently this time as I think he was outboxed after the first few rounds where Chilemba did very little.

Very good undercard fight

Youre shitting me? I was looking forward to the undercard of this fight but not now watching the whiner in a dull fight.

It will be a good time to go to the bar when he's on.

Very good undercard fight

Tony looked very one dimensional didn't know how to deal with Chilemba's movement and counter attacking style. He was very predicatable and outboxed for pretty much the 2nd half of the fight he needs to fight smarter and really force the pace in the second fight and cut the ring off better to pin Chlemba down.

Yeah very evenly matched and although it could be another snooze-fest still a good undercard fight.

I think with bellew now having a point to prove and the other guy saying he wasn't 100% and still felt like he won, this fight will be much better than the first !
If Tony looses this one where does he go ?

Fair play to Tony for taking the rematch so soon and to Chilemba after saying he didn't want to have the rematch in the UK.

Some fights are going to be boring it's just the way it is. Tim Bradley was in a cracker in his last fight but most fights I have seen him in have made me want to walk down the street wearing a barbed wire thong inside out. These kind of fights may well make Bellew a better fighter and for those slagging the fight off, Chilemba may well lose to Hopkins, Pascal, Dawson and Cloud, but I don't think any of those guys would knock him out with ease, nor win a shut out decision against him. One awkward SOB.

Although it was a dull fight i'm glad that one of them didn't get the chance to jump ahead of the other at a title shot just cos the promotor has a bit of clout. Hopefully this should provide a conclusive result so the winner can push on.

Fair play to Tony? Why? He has home advantage again and if he did not fight then Chilemba would most likely get the Word Title fight b default.

Fair play to Chilemba, but I am sure he is being well paid.

Chilemba to win 10 of 12 rounds and get a close UD, Bellew to insist he won, Jim Watt to show his blatant disregard for the skills Chilemba brings to the table.

Bellew cannot outbox this guy - he will have to find another way to do it

hidden on an undercard thats fine get the fight out the way & move on if he wins...

but put this on pre main event on box office and i wont be buying

Whoever takes centre ring wins.

I don't think thats far wrong Keith......he can't out box him as someone said before, so maybe he needs to show the 'bomber' side of his game.

I genuinely hope he does well, he's been given a chance to redeem himself very quickly and i hope he takes it.

If Bomber pushes him back for 12 rounds, he'll win a shutout.

yep agreed

Tony needs to outwork him for 8 rounds. He’s not going to have his own way with him. Chilemba is too good at what he does for that.

Bomber needs to just prepare himself to go the distance and look to throw more punches than Chilemba does.

Chilemba doesn’t set himself to throw power shots so Tony doesn’t need to be too worried. Yes, he’ll miss a lot. Yes, he’ll be made to look a mug when he misses…but that’s just ego.

Chilemba’s like my nan’s liver and onions…you don’t want to eat it but you can’t have pudding until it’s all gone.

I reckon Chilemba will come for the KO this time around.

I hope Tony goes to the Ingle gym to get some sparring in, before this rematch. That would really add to his game and help prepare him for boxing 'a mover'.

Cant be any worse than the other night hopefully whatever happens Tony conducts himself better .
is the Ajisafe fight ever likely to happen ?

I'd be very careful putting this clash of styles next to the main event.

Victors have somehow manged to go 4/9 on Tony 'All Fart, No Sh1t' Bellew for the win, did the odds compiler actually see the first fight!

He goes to Bob Ajisafe........That's where he goes!!
