Now im a Tony Bellew fan and on a personal level i hope does win, but from a betting point of view and just a view of the fight without taking sides... Miranda is not getting the respect he deserves.
End of the day, is Miranda as big of a puncher as Ovill McKenzie.............YES infact he probably hits harder, and Ovill fight did expose Bellew is vulnerable at very least, at worst he can't take a punch. Think to much is being made of the Cleverly fight, yes he was impressive but Nathan is a feather fisted puncher so Bellew could afford to take so many shots, and end of day he did lose and Cleverly imo still has alot to prove himself. The second Ovill fight was a borefest and if anything it proved how lacking in confidence Bellew and his camp had in his chin if he went to brawl again.
Mcintosh fight might aswell have never happened, he did what he had to do but neither did it prove anything he stopped a static robot with zero ability.
For me this is a MASSIVE MASSIVE step up in class for Bellew and whilst i hope he wins i think hes going to come unstuck. Losses to Bute, abraham(twice), Pavlik & Ward are nothing to be ashamed of.
People seem to be banking on Miranda being pasted it, but having seen the weigh-in he looks in the best shape hes been for a while and looked up for it.
If Bellew does what he did in the 2nd Ovill fight he will win this easy in a very boring fight, but hes talking about going to stop Miranda and if he does he will come unstuck imo.
Im all over the 6/1 stoppage win :deal:deal
But i do hope Bellew wins and puts on a impressive performance and stops him. Fair play for him for taking such a fight, it says something when he has a tougher fight than the "champion" Cleverly.
