Mofo2 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Quote The Liverpool cruiserweight knocked out Ilunga Makabu in the third round to claim the WBC cruiserweight title. But it was fitting that for a man who starred in a Rocky spin off that he pulled himself off the canvas to do it. Bellew’s big dream was on the verge of turning into a nightmare when he was put down at the end of a dramatic first. But he recovered in the second before trading with the Congo-born cruiserweight in the third and flattening him with a succession of huge rights before a left hook finished the job. The diehard Everton fan had been dreaming of fighting at the home of his beloved Blues since he was a teenager. He also wanted to become a world champion more than anything and failed in his previous two attempts at light-heavyweight. Bellew had seen his Goodison dream visualised in the Rocky spin-off Creed which he starred in last year. But this was for real now and it all came good in the end like a top Hollywood script. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
