Comments Thread For: Tony Bellew Ponders Move To The Cruiserweight Ranks

Is that the new trend on what to do when you get knocked out?

First Cleverly now Bellew.

Bellew is just so far from world level. His performance last night is pathetic.

I like Bellew and always thought he would give anyone at 175 a fight, but his performance was indeed pathetic. After all of his talk and antics before the fight, I'm pretty disappointed.

I really can't see how moving up is going to help him. He's going to be facing stronger bigger men. I assume he's gonna try and bulk up but he just seems like a naturally skinny guy.

I felt like this when I read that quote:

He should be looking at his gameplan and his trainer instead of moving up in weight...

Why would you choose to box and move on the outside when your strength has been pressing and attacking on the inside?

At the elite level, you're not going to be competitive fighting outside of your comfort zone unless your opponent is truly ineffective against the strategy and you're solid enploying it. When Bellew fought Cleverly and Chilemba, he lost rounds until he was able to get where we was best at.

If he pressed and attacked Stevenson on the inside, he might've gotten stopped earlier, but he would've given himself his best shot at winning. Bellew actually had faster hands than I expected and looked good throwing punches on the inside... He can fight at world level, but he has to face the right opponent to win.

Tell me you saw in the build up where he was talking up his resume and he said "I beat Danny Macintosh when he was European Champion"

I completely forgot to tell you.

He also said something else hilarious like "I beat Miranda and Chilemba" or something ridiculous like that.

Bellew has never been world level and never will.

Far to slow, stiff movement & unable to adapt in fights.

he was trying to lure Stevenson in last night, but his speed and timing were so bad he couldn't hit it.

It was a pretty embarrassing performance from him.

''I was feeling them tonight and its not like me to feel shots. Tonight I did''

He's a deluded clown. That statement is just embarrassing.

[uniquehump]

He doesn't think he will feel those shots at Cruiserweight?

Was going to post the exact same thing,, firsth thought i had was "didnt cleverly just do this"

Bellew is far from the world level, but i dont think his performance was pathetic, i thought he came and gave a good fight early, but was just totally outgunned and outclassed
