Poor decision on the cards there in the Bellew fight. Poor fight also. Bellew made to look quite average.
Fair play to Chilemba,he's awkward.

Chilemba won it for me, landed the cleaner shots on the counter all night. He looked a class above the over rated Bellew.

On reflection; draw is probably fair. Chilemba started too slow. Not sure how one of the judges had Chilemba by 4 rounds though.
Definitely a poor contest and Bellew was made to look distinctly mediocre.

Rios/Alvarado has been brilliant in the opening rounds

Think boxnation has both, Donaire v Rigo should be a great fight. Also channel 5 showing Fury v Cunningham.

Donaire v Rigo would be a classic fight I think it has the potential to be the fight of the year. I love the Super Bamtamweight division. They could do a Super 6 out of that division by far the most competitive division I have seen and all these fighters are by far the best collection I have seen in 1 division.
I was lucky to see Rigondeaux live in action when he blitz Willie Casey in 1 round to win the title. An amazing Am and a great boxer. Donaire has power and boxing ability to troble any fighter. IF Rigondeaux can get it to a am type fight and just box him he has every chance of winning the fight. Its such a 50-50 fight for me as you can make a case for the 2 fighters. I wont be about so will have to try and get it on the net on Sunday IF I cant find somewhere to watch it live.
Just look at that division and its packed with dangerous fighters all the way down it to be honest the hardest division in the world for me to be honest. I would be looking at the betting but I aint too confident on picking a winner this weekend. As it is the most evenly matched fight going on for me.

Just heard that Matt Macklin will be fighting Gennady Golovkin for the WBA Title. A huge fight for Macklin and OMG he is in with a banger. 26 wins with 23 kos from 26 fights some record. Macklin will be doing well to stay on his feet but his last fight he looked good. Not yet seen Golovkin tagged or hurt badly just dont think Macklin has the power to do that to Golovkin. Some good fights made so far. For British / Irish fighters made so far. I love boxing when it gets like this.

I'm lucky I pay the plus1hd site and they record it and leave it on demand so you can watch it first thing in the morning.
I can see Rigondeaux fighting defensively and taking it the distance but will lose on points. He doesn't seem to have picked up the knack of impressing the crowd or judges in his 11 fights.

This should be a great fight, I re-watched Golovkin v Rosado the other week and GGG was brutal.
