Not worried

Bellow was not too worried about his potentially match-ending cut, stating he always backed his cut man to look after him until the bout was over. "I've got the best cutsman in the game in Mick Williamson so I wasn't too worried about the cut," said Bellew. "I knew I'd be cool. If you don't panic you'll be okay. I've come through a huge crisis tonight. "He (Bolonti) is tough and he showed he had a great chin. I'm told the cut's a bad one and looks nasty but this is boxing, it happens. "I don't think it's as bad as it looks. I was going for the knockout but it is what it is."
