UK Boxing - Bellew/McKenzie --- Burns/Cook --- Murray/Mitchell - Discussion Thread

[Fenster]

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)

[ryanman]

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.

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

[Howlin Mad Missy]

It feels like Cook has been round since the beginning of time.

jesus

burns v cook = DOG SHIT

[JazMerkin]

Bellew/McKenzie looks pretty damn good right about now eh?

[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

[Fenster]

If Cook goes down in the third here boxing has regressed to the 40/50s

Bit of a snoozer to be honest, turned off to eat some pizza and drink some beer. Come on with some action in the next one.

RE: Cook's entrance music.
It seems we have already regressed 20 years.

This is why I always prefer it when they let Ed Robinson, who's a proper boxing man, ask the questions because he wouldn't say something that stupid. Bellew has been entertainment every fight of his career. So now that he tries to preserve his brain cells a bit he's treated as if he's thrown away his career.

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!

Right, Burns vs Cook.

I have told Cook to fall over in the third so let's watch for that. If he ignores me I actually expect him to give Burns more trouble than most seem to think/the odds suggest.
