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.

[Tam Seddon]

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.

[Tam Seddon]

Round 10, Bellew continuing the boxing and is landing some bigher right hands, Bellew is a fit fighter because he has control the pace of the fight from the start. Bellew would be frustrated, but with the cut I think hes doing the right thing boxing and keeping things in control. Bellew is landing bigger punches, Bolonti survives the round.

[superheavyrhun]

Considering the cut that Bellew received so early on, it shows how limited Bolonti is that I don't have Bellew losing a round yet. Definitely not a classic, but Bellew getting his ranking up, and Bolonti must be hoping for a miracle.

[Tam Seddon]

Round 11, Bellew is looking for the stoppage still, but bolonti is still in there. Bellew keeps boxing though and bolonti yet again does not offer much to the action. Bellew is in full control of the action here and will no doubt take a shut out on the cards here.

[Tam Seddon]

Final round, great credit for the cut man for keeping Bellew in here. Bellew shows respect, Bellew back to boxing again but bolonti is not showing anything here to try and knock out Bellew. Bellew takes the final round here and has won every round on my card and has the 2 knockdowns.

I think after the cut Bellew knew he couldnt get him out of there. Bellew through 800 punches and was in full control of the fight. I think Bellew will do better against better oppoisition, it could have been a lot worse tonight with the cut. But Bellew will move on from this here.

[Tam Seddon]

Round 9, the cut seems under control which is good for the later rounds, Bellew is looking like he just wants to box through this fight now. Bellew lands a low blow and the action is stopped. Bellew landing more but still nothing too clean, another Bellew round but Bolonti is difficult to put away.

[Beanz]

The guy has been open to that uppercut all night but understandably Bellew was a bit reluctant to throw it and expose his eye.

[Beanz]

For a big guy he has very quick and clever feet. Bellew continues to accrue experience and improve. Ross is right in that his power is a little overrated but he is a good and flexible boxer. I am warming to him.

[1-hit Wonder]

Anyone know where you can watch the fight ?

[ryanman]

I had Bolonti just shading that.




Seriously though, Bellew just sneaked through on my card 120-106.

[Tam Seddon]

Bellew gets through the fight, but lets see Froch deliver the goods know. Im looking forward to seeing the cobra back in action, hope he delivers the goods.

Froch KO 7. I hope. My bank account needs it.
