UK Boxing - Bellew/McKenzie --- Burns/Cook --- Murray/Mitchell - Discussion Thread

Evening folks,

This one's looking like absolute dynamite of a bill tonight, three really good fights that would be worth a friday night headline by themselves.

Personally I'd like to see McKenzie, Burns and Mitchell pick up the wins but I'm not sure that McKenzie and Mitchell will have enough to pick the wins. Roll on.

Bellew is boxing very smart here, picking his shots well. Hopefully he can keep breaking him down.

I've backed McKenzie here. Not sure Bellew is fighting the right fight.

I think he's doing the right thing, McKenzie is starting to get a bit impatient & I think he'll walk him onto something good like this.

Not totally enjoying the cagey stuff from Bellew, he isn't looking good, and hope McKenzie can get close enough to land a few more big shots like those from the last fights.

I demand knockdowns now!!!

Yeah you're probably right Jaz.

I'm a bit surprised by Bellew's tactics.

Expected fireworks, getting a soggy biscuit.

Time someone starts letting go a little, McKenzie must know he can't out box him over the distance? The commentating is already shamefully bias, Bellew is getting verbaly bummed at every opportunity.

I think he hurt Bellew with that bodyshot

HOw you scoring this boys?

39-37 Bellew & I was a bit iffy about the one I gave to McKenzie

Bellew isn't looking good, but he's taking the game away from McKenzie in a sort of dull way. I think it would benefit from McKenzie knocking Bellew down.

Bellew def winning,

Jim Watt normally scores for whoevers going forward.

I don't think he looks bad, he appears to be upping the workrate every round. His biggest problem in the past especially given his struggle making weight is that he tries to do too much too soon. Ooh fuck, good shot at last McKenzie

He does doesn't he?

It's not about who lands the punches or anything like that. I'm surprised he hasn't scored the whole fight even so far as he normally does.

Bellew needs to double & triple that jab to set up the right. When he does McKenzie has no answers.
