Bellew def winning,

Jim Watt normally scores for whoevers going forward.

He does doesn't he?

It's not about who lands the punches or anything like that. I'm surprised he hasn't scored the whole fight even so far as he normally does.

Bellew needs to double & triple that jab to set up the right. When he does McKenzie has no answers.

I'll continue to be the only person posting in this thread. I actually don't think Bellew is doing much wrong. He's the one initiating most engages, but there's no sense in him going all gung-ho. On a technical point of view, Bellew is doing a great job of showing just how a taller fighter should use head movement. Paul Williams should take note. Didn't know Darren Bent was a boxing fan. Unless he's there planning yet another move.

You was right Jaz. Bellew tactics turned out fine.

Poor fight compared to last time but good for Bellew. Thought he was too hotheaded to do this (still got fingers crossed for "lucky" shot)

Drab.
McKenzie did nothing. Bellew did what he had to do. No problems with Bellew there though- He certainly didn't need another fight like the first match between these two.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

Bring him on - snooze fest but I like his attitude.

[Fenster]

That's bullshit - Adam Smith asking Bellew do the fans deserve more?

The man fought his fight. First time forever he's not been knocked all over the shop fighting like a lunatic

McKenzie celebrating. He put absolutely fuck all forward tonight.

I think they're being much too hard on Bellew. The doubt I've always had about him is whether he'd have the discipline to stick to a gameplan. It may not have been the most exciting fight ever, but he showed skill & did what we'd expect someone to do against a guy who has fuck all but power.

Also I think Cleverly continues to get a bit of an undue love-in from the Sky team. He has looked decidedly dodgy in his last two against guys who were supposed to be a piece of piss.

I completely agree with Bellew. As he says it's a risky business. I'm glad to see Johnny, Glenn & Barry have some sense unlike fucking Jim

Yep.

Really that was exactly what Bellew should have done. As I said he certainly didn't need another fight like the first. I just didn't think he had it in him to keep a cool head - So I'm a little disappointed that he did!
