Echo Arena Fight Night


Recommended Posts


Cracking fight between crolla and mathews . had crolla shading it but it was a draw. very close fight. the bellew fight was a draw had bellew winning that. he can box much better threw too many wild punches which didnt connect not much thought in his work. he has the potential to fight much better than he did tonight.

I thought Matthews/Crolla showed each other too much respect the fight didnt get going till about the 9th round.....thought Crolla deserved the nod though.

I dont see what Bellew had to moan about he won the first half of the fight and lost the second just because your at home dont mean you deserve the win......i think he needs to spend a little less time with all the childish staring and sillyness.....top level fighters are not going to be intimidated by a man looking at them,especially one that looks like nookie bear he just embarasses himself.

your right there gnash he over stepped the mark in about round 2 or 3 when the other boxer gave belew a stare at the end of the round and belew used his head and gave him a shove,bellew was trying to blast him out of there when he should have just boxed clever as he can do,but the scousers had a good night of boxing and came out on top with no loses

derry fought a great fight tierd towards the end crolla came on strong but you could not knock these two for guts the out come was a shame i thought derry just nicked it but a draw was fair , bellew came up against an opponate who tested him his uncomprimising stlye had bellew frustrasted he was never in danger but could not pin his man down the corner has changened with mick mc back and some yank all shouting at once , bellew needs to cut out all this madness waliking back the corner stuff another ref might have deducted a point for a blatent head butt , take nothing from his opponant he came with a plan and stuck to it , back to the drawring board and go back to boxing and think

Absolutely right........i think his temperament is his only weakness because he does the basics very well and looks technically good................he just seems too wrapped up in puffing his chest out you cant go in a ring with all that emotion and expect it to not affect your performance.....even after the fight he broke the unwritten rule of repeating what the opponents trainer said to him thats been a no no since time began....but again his ego constantly gets the better of him........for a 29 year old whatever he is its a worry that he hasnt matured yet but hopefully he,ll learn from mistakes.

gte did you watch rocky feilding he certainly drags the crowds in and them short punches he through won him the fight plus he can mix it well and was taking his time when he had the other boxer on the back foot

After their first fight you cant blame Crolla/Matthews for showing each other too much respect :laugh:

spot on gnash,i think if crolla came on the front foot sooner who have won it easy.

 

bellew does make a prat of himeself now and then not nice to see no need for it.

I wouldnt mind betting Crolla is feeling a bit gutted today in a 12 round fight you never want to end with something left in the tank and he looked like he had plenty more like you say if he,d upped the pace earlier.....
