Tony Bellew-BJ Flores Oct 15

[Spicoli]

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.

He is a solid enough journeyman, with something of a gift for self publicity, who has lucked out by being in the perennially weak cruiserweight division.

nowt wrong with that, just a blue collar guy earning a living

Winning that title, at Everton, big underdog, knocked down in the 1st round by a big punching champion means he should star in his own movie.

It was amazing and no one can begrudge him the greatest moment of his life.

Bit over dramatic there. Try watching him rather than listening to him.
He ain't all that, but he's a World Champion, I'll give him that.

I#m by no means a Bellew fan, far from it in fact, I hate watching him box and I hate listening to interviews with him, however I did read an interview with him just the other day when he said something along the lines of 'I'm not the most talented fighter, i'm not the biggest puncher and I might not look like a fighter, but I have more heart than anyone else out there'

I like that, I think someoone asked him about Haye (who is a cunt) it's quite refreshing to hear a boxer who knows his limitations but still believes in themselves.

[Dia bando]

Tony is far from the best at his weight, he talks a great fight but his fights are not action packed.
If he faces any one of the other Champs he gets his clock cleaned.

Whats the craic with the fight tonight?

It's on sky sports 3 from 6pm and then flicks over to sky sports 2 at 8pm, is there fights all the way through or is the first few hours on SS3 just a bull shit build up?

It's alright the Villa are playing on Sky Sports 1 so I am kind of torn between what to watch, a shit football match or a shit boxing card.
