Love watching Kell - think he's by far the most skillful British boxer to watch at the min. Big question marks over his stamina though.. If he sort's that, he could do very well. I just wonder if the postponement of the Alexander fights had a big effect on him - he's cut a very frustrated and unhappy figure since.
Bellew annoys me more than Jr Witter Amir Khan, or even Fraudley Harrison. He's a domestic boxer that thinks he's world class. Last night's shenanigans whilst the bloke received medical attention showed him up as a c**t. He was lucky to get away with winning that fight after he ignored his corners instruction to take a few mins after the low blow. If a 37yo has been can do that wait till he gets to the big boys.
Sad to hear GGG lost his father and has postponed his next fight. Wondering if we may see him avoided by the big guns when he does return. People are very wary of him and I can see people taking advantage of his age(31) and avoiding him for another year or two till he slows down/loses some power.
I think Brook's overrated. Punchpower, stamina, attitude all questionable. Never fought anyone top class yet has the gall to call out Khan who I think would totally outclass him.
Bellew's a first rate ****, I agree that he's a domestic level fighter. It was only his fight with Clev where he put up a decent display that put him on the world stage. And Clev's been exposed as way short of top class since then. I don't think Bellew has punch power up at cruiserweight. I don't think any aspect of his game is anywhere near world class.
Sky's hype is pissing me off. It's one thing to talk up their fighters but it's getting more ridiculous month by month. Fighters way short of the top level are hailed as world class again and again. Brook, Bellew, Burns, Quigg, Barker, Murray, Macklin, McDonnell etc aren't in that league.
