What I mean by calling him a fraud isn't about the fact he won a World title. That can't be taken away from him. He's a fraud because he makes himself out to be an all action Warrior that loves a tear up and is "brutal and vicious and can hurt/ko any cruiserweight or heavyweight in the world", whereas in reality he's not a particularly big puncher, doesn't ko many people and isn't overly aggressive.Quote:

nowt wrong with that, just a blue collar guy earning a living
Winning that title, at Everton, big underdog, knocked down in the 1st round by a big punching champion means he should star in his own movie.
It was amazing and no one can begrudge him the greatest moment of his life.
Bit over dramatic there. Try watching him rather than listening to him.Quote:

I#m by no means a Bellew fan, far from it in fact, I hate watching him box and I hate listening to interviews with him, however I did read an interview with him just the other day when he said something along the lines of 'I'm not the most talented fighter, i'm not the biggest puncher and I might not look like a fighter, but I have more heart than anyone else out there'Quote:

You will be watching the movie in 15 years time. :)Quote:

Hand picked journey man.
For his first defence is excusable.Quote:

If he faces any one of the other Champs he gets his clock cleaned.
Whats the craic with the fight tonight?
It's on sky sports 3 from 6pm and then flicks over to sky sports 2 at 8pm, is there fights all the way through or is the first few hours on SS3 just a bull shit build up?
It's alright the Villa are playing on Sky Sports 1 so I am kind of torn between what to watch, a shit football match or a shit boxing card.
Just had a look and there are only 3 fights listed on the website
Tony Bellew v BJ Flores : WBC Cruiserweight Title
Luke Campbell v Derry Mathews : 12 Rounds Lightweight
Ryan Burnett v Ryan Farrag :British Bantamweight Title
I wonder what's happening with Connor Benn, he hasn't fought for 2 weeks now, I hope he's ok
So everyone is bang up for the Bellew fight then...
;D Bellew is a mouthy prick at times but he did win me over last time out, yeah i'll be flicking over after West Ham v Palace finishes, David Haye claims Bellews getting Banged out which means he's deffo swerved the black uncle Albert fight and want's Bellews belt next, I think it'll happen too and then he'll jump back up to Heavy ;)
The Campbell fight should be a good un
Undercard fight from today:

Poor old David Haye, I reckon the only reason he is doing the punditry work tonight is because Simon Cowell told him he couldn't be a guest judge on tonights X Factor
