its all Bellew, but Bolonti is good at his defence and does land the odd counter punch. Bellew is looking to get him out of there, but hes not landed too flush early on. He still takes the second round though.
That cut could be trouble. They better rule is as being from the punch.
Bolonti down again in the third, Bellew pressing the action again, Bellew is landing a lot of big rights. Bellew cut on the bridge of the nose. Bellew is still in control but Bollonti still has his legs. 3-0 Bellew, Bollonti is landing a few left hands though.
Yes that is a bad cut, he needs to get him out here Bellew.
Head fuck of a cut.
Bellew is still in control, but that cut really does look bad, I hope this doesnt factor in the fight.
Bellew needs a big round, the bleeding has slowed down, but Bellew has slowed down the pace now and has taken the round. Bolonti is a difficult fighter to break down, but hes not offering a lot to the fight. Hes not out of it with this cut, but Bellew has a fight on his hands here.
Round 6, Bellew boxing again but bolonti isnt offering too much really. Bellew is really finding it hard to land flush.
At this pace, the cut shouldn't be much of an issue. Bolonti just isn't throwing enough and Bellew's body work seems to really be bothering him.
Round 7, Bellew really needs a stoppage here, but still is fighting with caution. Bellew is still in full control but this is a difficult fight for Bellew when Bolonti is good at defending the shots. If Bolonti wants to win the fight though he needs to throw more punches. Ive still got Bellew winning every round here though.
round 8, the cut does look under control and Bellew is doing what he needs to do. But still Bellew is finding it hard to land, it does look like this could go the distance if Bellew doesnt land. Bellew takes the round and Bolonti is just looking to survive the fight. Its turning into a boring fight this.
This has really turned into quite an interesting fight. Frankly, if it wasnt for the cut it would have been a KO in the first half, but the cut means that Bellew has had to change his fight, and he's managed the cut really well.
