Mofo2 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Quote Liverpool’s Tony Bellew (199 and a quarter pounds) told anyone who would listen that American challenger BJ Flores (who weighed the same) would go down hard and early in at his the Echo Arena, Liverpool tonight and he looked to be as good as his word when flooring his man heavily in round two after a give-and-take first stanza. Flores, 37, raged back only to be floored again as the round wore down. A third shot put the challenger to Bellew’s WBC cruiserweight title as the round ended, but the three knockdown rule wasn’t in effect so he saw the round out to come out for more. Despite a good start, the second round assault was a huge blow for BJ, who came out tentatively in the third, the same round that Bellew won the title in when icing Ilunga Makabu at Goodison Park in May. Like a shark sensing blood in the water, Bellew circled early in the third then swept in a short left hook to retain his 200lbs title. No sooner had he celebrated the win, Bellew leapt into the crownd to exchange verbals with David Haye, who was on site working for American TV, before jumping back into the ring to celebrate his first title defence. The ending came at 2:11 of the round to hand Bellew (28-2-1, 18 KOs) the win. Flores (32-3-1, 20 KOs) is friends with Haye, who applauded with the crowd despite the earlier verbals Excellent performance but his recklessness leaves him vulnerable!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LMWBXR Posted October 16, 2016 Members Share Posted October 16, 2016 The low blow to Flores was a game changer in my book. After that both fighters threw wild shots and the man with more power seemed to take it. The lesson: Don't look at the ref when you expect him to make a call cus you will get dropped. Protect yourself at all times. I wanted Flores to win though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mofo2 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 His reaction to David Haye was really funny; Haye looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights http://www.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/10619846/tony-bellew-says-he-will-enjoy-punching-david-haye-in-the-face-after-dismissing-one-punch-claim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mofo2 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Bellew realy cannot stand Haye, he would genuinely move up a division to take the fight, but the trouble is he cannot possibly win.....typical loudmouthed scouser that doesnt give a fuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
