    @ the McKenzie knockdown. Bellew looked like a goalkeeper diving to make a save

      It might even come to marketing. Zewski is a Canadian kid, French background. How does GBP market him? GBP does not concentrate on anything in Canada and probably did not think they could market him in the US. Golden boy concentrates on the Mexican and American market. Top Rank seems to welcome everyone and finds a way to market anyone.

        right, Abner Mares is the only guy they raised from the pro debut and up.

          The worst part is McKenzie really isn't that hard of a puncher.

          He couldn't even stop or even beat Enzo in the second fight.

            Sky sport just showed Bellew being floored, it wasnt a flash KD, he was really hurt.

              I feel he hits a bit harder than his record suggests but yh hes not a big puncher. The stoppage in the first fight was premature too, I didn't think Enzo was even hurt despite eating McKenzie's best and he has a horrific chin.

              Bellew has a Bellew average chin at best really. I can't see him lasting long. I won't underestimate the guys heart though.

                It's a good point. GBP has also seemed to halt their efforts in the UK they were so high on. Signed up to co-promote Haye and did absolutely nothing for him. Should Ogogo on Showtime Extreme once and that's it.

                  Which fights are being shown on HBO? Will they show Lemieux's fight as well?

                    Maybe highlights. But they're replaying Pacquiao-Rios, then Kovalev-Sillakh and Stevenson-Bellew live.

                      Look at him slipping all those shots.
