Serious outsider for this one, but he's been there and done it before. This Oleksandr Usyk fella seems to be a bit special though, just hope Tony has a decent go and no doubt his pension pot will take on serious proportion win or lose, wish him well.

Finn balor Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Bellew is getting better later on in his career. Usyk is a top fighter but has only had 15 pro fights. My head says Usyk on points but with Bellews left hook he will catch him at some point and if he does he could stop him. Should be an excellent fight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, he won’t give anyone an easy fight if Usyk isn’t on it early rounds he’ll be gone in the 4th, if he brings his A game he’s still going by the 9th he’s not come across the intensity of a Bellew before he’s getting k’od.

aaron Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 I'm a big Bellew fan but Usyk schooled Klitscko in sparring when he was training for the Fury fight, for me its going to be one sided and Bellew is going to be schooled. Hope I'm wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Bellew is far better than given credit for. The British public have been getting seduced by supposedly skilled boxers like degale & Khan. I always thought he was inbetween being a boxer and a puncher without being good at either ... Turns out he can box and certainly can punch. He's got heavy hands and can change a losing fight into a win in a second. Aside that... he's a top bloke. I admire his loyalty and love for his family.

EFC-Paul Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Big Bellew fan but he's bitten off more than he can chew in Usyk who's probably the best cruiserweight since Holyfield He has a punchers chance and the heart of a lion but with the weight drop and Usyk being one of the best technical boxers on the planet he will grind him down and Tony will fold in the later round imo Would love to see a huge huge upset but just can't see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 Did really well but against such a class fighter especially a southpaw he was always going to get caught as it went on Can hold his head high and hopefully retire a wealthy proud man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Thought it was a heavy knockdown and rather than getting him interviewed he needed get checked out. Badly concussed. Usyk is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see that cos my stream was blurry.. A Boxer blinking isn'tt good. I remember the Benn McLennan fight. He can step away now. He's engaging and knowledgeable so I'd like to see him go into punditry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron Posted November 12, 2018 Report Share Posted November 12, 2018 Did himself proud in that fight, I didn't have him ahead before the knockout though, though he won the first couple of rounds but then the class showed. Eddie Hearn confirmed on Instagram that Bellew was checked by the doctor and was cleared after the KO but he was defo concussed as he kept repeating himself and kissing Usyk, probably landed more kisses than punches! Bellew was on Talksport before and said he's done, Tony Bellew was his boxing persona who is now dead, he is Antony Bellew and wants to live a quiet life. I am hoping he pops up on PPV's doing commentary etc as he is very, very good at that too. Bailey, rubecula and MikeO 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
