Fight week!!! Froch poll and opinions!!!FIGHT THREAD. SPOILERS

[Seanusarrilius]

First topic message reminder :

I think there was another poll, but let's start a fresh!

Who wins?
How?
Entertainment factor?
Where do they go after?

Let me say this. Froch wins, TKO, in a war that matches the Hatton v Kosta bout for epicness.

War Froch! War Boxing! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Missing this because I'm at work nightshift

What is your job then?

Working offshore on a rig, where the internets too slow to stream. Its the one thing i truly hate about this job, the amount of fights i've missed live. Youtubing it when you know the result just isnt the same :/

[BallchinianMuffwig]

I think if Froch fights the way he did against Bute and just jumps on Kessler he'll be able to force a stoppage. Kessler isn't nearly as effective on the backfoot, though his jab is an absolute weapon

[bhb001]

You know in some ways as much as it pains me I am actually paying Froch a compliment here. He has a lot more ring guile than people give him credit for yet for some reason his fans rate him has some kinda knockout king which isnt the case

Something we agree on here. I never see Froch as a dangerous knockout merchant, but a good gifted fighter none the less

Must be gutting missing the fights. Loads of money working on an an oil rig though I bet

[BallchinianMuffwig]

Is anyone else with me where I'm pretty sure Bellew will lose this time

[hampo17]

I agree with you mate. Posted the other day that Bellew was clueless once Chilemba started boxing and throwing back, if he does that from the off then he'll give Bellew nightmares.

[hampo17]

Don't adjust your TV sets guys, David Haye's jacket really does look like that.

[BallchinianMuffwig]

It's too bad really I want Bellew to get it done.

[hampo17]

Bellew vs Chilemba up first.

Bellew looks nervous in the dressing room.

[jimdig]

Hope this isn't the predicted borefest..

[Steffan]

That Chilemba looks a mean mofo

[Group Cpt Lionel Mandrake]

Chilemba looks well conditioned

[BallchinianMuffwig]

Chilemba looks like a fetus.

Good boxer though

[jimdig]

chimney looks up for it.

[hampo17]

Bellew worked at a high pace in the first round. Not sure if he could maintain that if it goes the distance.

[jimdig]

Its already a better fight than last.

[hampo17]

More excitement in that second round than there was in the whole first fight. Think Bellew shook him up in that round, but Chilemba came back well.

2-0

[davidemore]

someone send me a PM about links pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease guru is down!!

[Steffan]

Whats happening in the fight? My...erm...Sky TV is playing up

[BallchinianMuffwig]

Seems to be following the same pattern as the first fight then?

[hampo17]

Bellew having problems with his left eye. Better round for Chilemba that one.

2-1

[John Bloody Wayne]

Bellew has been knocked unconscious by an errant spanner.

[Steffan]

My Sky is back up and working now

[jimdig]

Left hook seems the safe bet to land for bellew.

[hampo17]

Better round for Bellew then, Chilemba looked a little gun shy.

[jimdig]

double jab working nicely too. Double jab left hook seems key for bellew, if he keeps landing them, chimney will start to walk onto the right.

[Steffan]

Bellew doesnt look that great but he is winning

[hampo17]

Rounds are getting closer. Bellew can't let Chilemba spoil and mess him around, he's loading up on every punch.

[Union Cane]

I have Bellew 2 up after 6

[hampo17]

I've got it the same as you UC, Chilemba is working the counters brilliantly.

[jimdig]

Bellew smothering himself, completely losing his clean work. Hope its not a sign of tiredness.

[hampo17]

Can't believe Bellew has landed 160 punches. Especially as he's loading everything up, he really has no power at the top level if that's the case.

[owen10ozzy]

Same chaps....seems the same old story with Bellew. Early success and he throws any game plan out of the window. He has the ability to use the double jab but once he feels he is on top he just begins to march forward with very little thought!

[jimdig]

The worm is turning.

[Cast a Shadow]

Missed the first half of this - how's it gone?

[hampo17]

That cut could get messy over the next few rounds.

[jimdig]

Bellew's jab has lost all authority, he's pawing it out, only interested in trying to wing one now.
Owen your right game plan gone.

[jimdig]

5/3 bellew, bellew going from in control to out.

[owen10ozzy]

Bellew is lucky that he isn't in with someone who can change/dictate the pace...he is making the same mistakes he did the first time around only this time Chilemba isn't capable of doing anything about it.

Bellew will find the next rung on the ladder very tough indeed unless he learns to stay behind the jab and use it to work his way in and then throw the hurtful shots.

[bhb001]

Some one should spoilers in the title just in case. Sounds like a close one?

[hampo17]

Chad Dawson would make him look like a ten fight novice.

[owen10ozzy]

Agreed Hampo,

Shame really as he has shown he can box to a game plan but much like Khan he just can't seem to stick to it. Get's to excited over his own work and then loses focus and stops doing the good stuff.

He obviously punches hard so really he is wasting that talent because he could put some force behind that jab and therefore find those big shots easier to come by.

[Union Cane]

Bellew 3 up after 10, looks knackered though. Could be close.

[hampo17]

Think you've hit the nail on the head there Owen, he just can't fight to a plan. He has very good boxing skills but has tried to stop Chilemba and hasn't really made a dent.

[owen10ozzy]

Yeh still have Bellew up by 3...but next 2 could be very close. If Chilemba had thrown a little more in return we could be looking at another draw here. As it is I think Bellew nicks it on work force alone...Buddy would not be happy!!

[jimdig]

Bellew seems incapable of boxing to a win. This could head into another draw.

[hampo17]

Odds where quite tastey for another draw.

[owen10ozzy]

This won't be another draw....unless Chilemba wins these two very well...Bellew this time has done just enough in terms of forcing the pace a little longer and Chilemba hasn't thrown enough when Bellew has come to the inside!

[bhb001]

I need a ud for Bellew on your league, Ozzy

[jimdig]

Good fight guys, frustrating, but good. my expectations were very low though. Bellew needs to win this round to make certain.
