From when it was made I strongly fancied Makabu to chin Bellew.
However, I can see Bellew doing well. If he can make it "boring," keeps Makabu on the end of his jab and takes it deep he has a chance. Problem is Bellew is slow and the last time he fought a big punching quick handed southpaw he was splattered. If Makabu gets inside it's goodnight vienna.
Makabu KO - 6/5
The undercard features every fighter in Liverpool
Callum Smith
David Price
Stephen Smith
etc
I fancy Bellew here. Keep him at distance and its an easy nights work for him.
I'm probably going to be getting drunk during this card, with no work on Monday, so looking forward to an interesting night.
Personally, I reckon Bellew has the adaptability to change his style, and will do so here to nullify Makabu for the most of the fight. That should be enough for Bellew to grab the win.
Makabu will knock out Bellew
Surprised this is not box office.
Got my ticket with 10 of my lads, fingers crossed Bellew gets chined!!
Why is this on Sunday? Bank holiday Monday coming up?
I know you can't stand him , nor do I , but I wouldn't put 10 fucking pence in his pocket by going to watch him, even if I wanted him to lose! I suppose there's a few other guys from your neck of the woods on the bill that you like though. Have a good night and fingers crossed for the right result! 😉Quote:

watching tonight, boxing on a Saturday and Sunday night what ever next.;D
Bellew doesn't wind me up like it seems he does everyone else. He thinks he's better than what he is but oh well.
I'd like him to win even though i've backed him to be sparked out.
Yes in a nutshell big mouth bark like a pitbull bite like a goldfish.Quote:

At first glance makabu appears to be abit small and unless you know his record you'd expect he's been brought in as the opponent but having a look at him on YouTube he has a touch of class and a nasty streak which I think will be too much for bellew
Out of tonight's fights I think I am most interested in David Price's, he needs to make a massive statement to come away with any credibility at all.
He must know that this is the last chance saloon for his career.
I don't know who he is fighting but I'm guessing it's an absolute bum
David Price weighed in at 273 pounds for this fight apparently, seems like a desperate move to try and change something. I'm sure his opponent is complete rubbish, but how is that extra weight going to help him?
The guy who beat him last time has failed a drugs test though, might give him a little more credibility.Quote:

If you watch his last fight, it's hard to come to that conclusion imo. Teper didn't even look like he was in shape and barely had to expend any energy. A cheats a cheat, but Price looked like he would have been sparked out by anyone decent that night.Quote:
