He was astounded by the passion shown by the fans who made the journey to watch the action at the Manchester Arena, which is set to be Bellew’s final ever fight as the Everton fan announced his retirement after the bout.The brilliance of the fans was emphasised a day later, according to Jones, with the supporters at the Manchester derby failing to match those seen on Saturday night.Manchester City claimed bragging rights over their local rivals with a 3-1 win that also sent Pep Guardiola’s side back to the top of the Premier League.However, even such a result in such a huge game could not draw the same kind of response as Bellew’s bout.“I was coming home on Saturday,” Jones told talkSPORT, “and listening to the fans and the people who went to the Bellew fight, to what I was listening to after that football match. “The differences, you know… It was unbelievable.“The passion that came out that fight. All those lads went to Manchester to watch the fight, and what a difference to listening to them watching that derby game.”David Silva, Sergio Aguero and Ilkay Gundogan scored the goals that continued City’s unbeaten run from the beginning of the season, with Anthony Martial netting a penalty for United that gave them a shred of hope.Pep Guardiola got the best of his fierce rival once again2
