Do you believe Usyk vs. Bellew is a close fight?

Didnt the WBC have him top 10 as a heavyweight?

 

Yeah, and not long ago they had Flores in there too, and shot Stiverne as their #1 contender.

 

Usyk for me @ CW all day long,Bellew would need to get very lucky with a shot & that's against the odd's

 

I would’ve given Bellew the height and reach advantage but according to boxrec they are both 6’3, interestingly reach wise bellew 74’ but usyk has a reach of 78’?!

I agree with the majority though, Bellew will have a good first 4 rounds but will lose with his heart on his sleeve

 

On paper it isn't close but we could talk about loads of fights that should have been an easy enough nights work for a fighter only for them to end up losing.

The class difference should show from the middle rounds onwards......but I wouldn't ever right Bellew off no matter how unlikely he is to win as he has a big heart and ain't a quitter

 

I believe Usyk will be sitting on his butt if Bellew lands a meaty left hook

 

Uysk UD, competitive but not close....

 

Usyk will cleverly that ass

 

Bellew should upset the pitty patter puncher Usyk. Mid round stoppage.

 

Bellew is going to win.

 

Is the fight going to be at cruiser or heavy?

 

Actually I do in as much as style wise Bellew has more about him than what Gassiev showed,time and time again we fall for these power/knockout artists and time and again the elite boxer shows us how stupid we were to doubt em.
I could be well off but I don’t expect Bellew to be as bereft of ideas as Gassiev was when Usyk did his Lomo impression on him.
Bellew will be in the fight imo and given his own considerable power will alway have a chance of hurting Usyk and of course if I’m wrong and Usyk totally dominates him then it’s gonna be Bellew last fight anyway and he can say he at least gave it a shot.

 

Cruiser according to Bellew.Apparently Usyk wanted it at Heavyweight but Bellew doesn’t.

 

Interesting. Thank you for the info.

I'm surprised Bellew didn't want it at heavy... I would think that would be to his advantage.
