Tony Bellew-BJ Flores Oct 15

This fight was basically made because they had a barney on twitter. Slag someone off, they respond, have a little back and forth, promoter gauges interest. Bosh! Fight made. Modern matchmaking.

It's not often you hear a guy brag about being ranked top 15 for a decade but it'll at least keep Flores off the microphone . Two guys going in different direction and Bellew should do well.

I am beginning to like Bellew.

I have no impression of BJ Flores whatsoever, would have guessed he retired a while ago. Seems like he's been around forever and is too boring to take any notice of, weird choice of opponent.

It is a stay busy type of fight.

Bit harsh calling Bellew a fraud. He's got some solid wins on his record, went to Canada to get decapitated and wasn't given a hope in hells against Makabu. Understand he winds people up with his gob, especially with the "i'm Julian Jackson" stuff.

Bellew/Campbell PTS double is roughly 8/1.

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.

Excellent crossroads fight on the Bellew card.

Considering Campbell has been dumped on his arse twice in his last three fights it will be interesting to see what happens when Mathews clumps him.

[erics44]

I haven't seen derry Matthews fight for a little while, is he the same fighter as 2/3 or 4 years ago?

[Master]

Campbell should win but it would be great to see an upset here.

[erics44]

id like to see an upset in some ways, thing is tho if Matthews wins he has 1 maybe 2 more interesting fights left


if Campbell loses theres a long way back and the interest will be less wont it


so id rather see Campbell win in the hope he is in a big fight somewhere in the near future and the interest lasts

Bellew is popular then.
