    I don't know much about Chilemba but his form stacks up pretty well with Bellew's. He doesn't look a puncher though. So with Tony seeming to have left his power happy days well behind, I expect a cagey fight.

    I thought Matthews was "lucky" against Crolla last time, in that he looked more like fading (which his history shows). I think Crolla will stop him this time. (waiting for bookies to price up the second half)

    i didnt know that, how long have they been doing that?

    By the way, i think crolla is suspect to power, i think his style takes punches even though he is compact enough to soak them for a while, i think matthews has enough power to make his punches tell sooner rather than later

    i might be reading too much into the first fight tho

    The red button is new starting this week (it's not actually the "whole" undercard but from 7 to 11)

    @Silkeyjoe - I would have backed an anytime KO at 11/4 too. Shame.

    Sorry that was only a Crolla KO at 11/4. Fight not to go the distance is 8/11 or so. Matthews looks so fragile to me. I'd be supposed if this goes the distance, particularly with it being a 12 rounder

    Bellow looks a beat at the moment and I would love him to take on Chad Dawson if he wins this. I think he lost against Cleverly but it was a tough close fight.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Chilemba also fought to a hotly contested draw with Oosthuizen in South Africa at 168 & had signed to fight Erdei before the latter pulled out with an injury, he seems willing to fight top guys

    I see Bellew as a slight favourite but would not be surprised by a Chilemba victory

    Agree I have a large be on Crolla at 10/11 and was gonna back the KO at 11/4 but missed the boat.
