Ive got to say folks,very impressed with Bellew again as an analyst,every time ive seen him ive liked him,he,s astute,clever,doesnt stutter,doesnt repeat the same old stuff ,the words just seem to flow,he can analyze the fight as well as the goings on surrounding the fight

He,s a natural IMO,and a lot better than men with twice the age and twice the experience

If i were Sky,id have him every week

Yeh the boy done good.

Very good talker and was impressed by the way he got his points over

you know I wasnt keen on Tony but lately i have really started to warm to him and his commentary has been A class... thought him and paul smith were really good

Anthony Bellew can sometimes be very annoying in the run up to fights, to the extent I turn off the TV when he's on one. Nerves/excitement can do that to people so I shrug and get on with it and always tune in again before the first bell. When he's not on the warpath though he comes across really well and, as has been said, is good to listen to and a smooth talker. I'm not against the idea of him getting more air time as a pundit.

Paul Smith was top class as always too. Sorry to hijack your post, but how come Smith is doing all this stuff for Sky recently?

Too many scousers for my liking... but yeh they are both good pundits :-)

Bellew was good. Nice that he keeps reminding us that he's from Liverpool, just in case we forget. Smith was good as well.

They are both good & articulate very professional props to the both i enjoy there insight they have a passion for it.
I'd like to see more clashes & opinions like the football ha!

He does a lot for BN but his last bout was on Sky and his younger brother was fighting for the British and his youngest brother is perhaps their biggest prospect.

Gotta agree he was a bang on the money.

He's a good pundit and a rubbish judge

Both did well. Well, apart from Smith saying he had paid his dues and deserved a world title shot of course. Both guys are pretty natural in front of camera

No probs i totally agree Smigga is very good also

I prefer Tyson's input on Channel 5; free as well.

Bellew = ingrate!

If you have to choose one, and with both being scouse that has to be the case, I would go with Smith.
Bellew is pretty good though.

he was clearly under orders to follow Eds lead , everytime they talked for a while looking at each other Ed turned to camera for couple secs and bellew followed and kept repeating , i like paul smith as a pundit , Bellew seems to be too passionate when talking if that can be a bad thing, i think when smith says no one trains like callum then bellews nose was out joint ha ha
