The body shots from Smith are vicious

Damn! I think I was moved by that Bellew interview. I think I want him to win now. :(

I hate to say it, but I think I agree with you. What were the odds that Bellew wasn't a complete tool?

Great respect for the champions national anthem.

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
Bellew was winning that round until the knock down.

Wow! Bellew knocked him out clean in the 3rd round.

It was the left hook that finished him off.

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
It was the left hook that wobbled Makabu in the first place.

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
Fair play to Bellew, it seemed like he was getting troubled especially when he got caught in the first round. He did however identify when he troubled Makabu, and showed a real killer instinct to finish it from there.

Yes he won us over and is hyped up about the whole event. Good luck to him, no one can begrudge him this night.

Just watched it, impressed by Bellew, but I guess that's why you don't make predictions after only seeing highlights and reading a guys record :P
Makabu isn't a big cruiser obviously, but how on earth did Bellew make 175? Think he'll take one of the other champions next? Lebedev and Glowacki are also both southpaws, for what that's worth. No way those would be as easy as tonight but I would have said Bellew wouldn't have a chance and now I'm not sure.

I recorded this because I've been out tonight.
All I can say is you're all a bunch of cunts! You all told me this guy would beat Bellew giving me hope.
Now he's ko'd the guy early and is World Champion and we are never gonna hear the end of this smug fucker!

I tihnk his first mandatory is against the latvian breidis who doesn't look too good, so bellew will have a successful couple of defences too !

I don't have any personal opinion on Bellew haha, but I can't see him unifying or anything. Didn't think he'd be any good at all at cruiser though, having watched just a few of his fights and very little of Makabu it seemed pretty reasonable to pick against him here. Would definitely do so again if he were to try and unify, so keep your head up;D

Cheers for that. 😉

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
That was brutal, fair play to cruiserweights beating each other up. Didn't see Makabu beating Mchunu or being blasted out this early. I'm off to watch Holyfield highlights

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
Fair play to Bellew, he was the underdog, got off the deck and put Makabu to kip. Can't get much better than that. The post fight interview was brilliant - Frank Warren got it, Haye go it, TV stations got it.
-
Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
I honestly thought that the whole fight would go just like how round 1 went but was stunned by the finish.

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
Bellew versus Haye sounds like it's getting hyped up.

What did he say about Warren?

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
I reckon that Bellew v Haye would be a much better fight to sell than Haye v Briggs, which is a dog. I know Haye doesn't fancy it at cruiser, but Bellew stepping up to heavyweight for that one moneyspinner wouldn't do him any harm at all.

It would when he gets hit with the Hayemaker!

Its Enzo all over again! Much as I am a Haye fan he must be sitting pretty if someone gives him £1m AGAIN for fighting an overated Cruiserweight.
PS all respect to Bellew for winning

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
I can never work out whether Bellew is a decent guy or a total bell end.
He showed a lot of class with Makabu after the fight though

Enzo was a million times better than Bellew and was a decent champion.
Infact, even now, I would fancy Enzo to beat Bellew and that's probably a fight I'd rather see.
Bellew is champ because the champ got injured. He's back now and he wants his title back and that's Bellew's next fight if he actually WANTS to be a World Champion.
If he doesn't , he can carry on doing a Scouse impression of Shannon Briggs and calling Haye out.

He screamed down the camera (paraphrasing) - cop that Fish eyes (FW) you said i'd never do it.
Frank is always firing digs at the fighters that gave him the elbow... sorry, I mean who Frank gets rid of.

Re: Tony Bellew-Ilunga Makabu - Sunday/Sky 6pm.
Fair play to him but if he genuinely is Everton then fighting Haye will see him getting knocked right back down to the conference.
