Aye, but on the flip side Brudov had Bellew hurt so it's hard to judge these things sometimes. But you're right I do think his chin is perfectly fine. As for Usyk's, I've never seen him properly wobbled and he took some decent shots off Joyce. He's been down from a Beterbiev body shot I believe but to be fair that man really ****ing whacks. It's definitely decent but I don't have enough evidence to say it's a GGG/Hopkins level of beard yet
I disagree that Tony’s chin is tried and tested. Brudov has him out in his feet with a short punch and would have certainly stopped him if it wasn’t for the low blow. Haye was completely shot and his power regressed although I acknowledge that in both fights Bellew ate solid flush punches no problem. I’m just not of the opinion that a Bellew has a proven chin at CW. I think an early Usyk stoppage is a realistic probability.
My money will be going on Usyk by stoppage. Tony gets caught against southpaws and Usyk is the best he has faced.
Also, don't forget Gassiev landed a few bombs on Usyk and he took them ok. He was slightly wobbled at least once if I remember correctly, but still dealt with it and Gassiev hits like a horse. Usyk's chin isn't in question IMO. Doesn't mean he can't be knocked out though, he is human.
this is the most hyped yet actually totally uncompetative fight These days. there is NOTHING in bellews record that indicates that he will be a threat to usyk. most likely usyk will beat the crap out of him in totally onesided Fashion.
It’s exactly like GGG-Brook. Look at the threads pre-fight and you had tons of good posters backing Brook.
I don’t really see anyone backing Bellew. Just a few local lads throwing their weight behind him which is fair enough.
Can't wait to hear Adam Smith change of tune. "Is this is a step-up in class too much", can hear it now.
COME ON BELLEW LAD!!!!! I’ve lost all sense of reason chaps, i’m just too caught up in the emotion of it all. I’m sorry, but i’m not going to be realistic or try to offer a balanced opinion, so feel free to rip me after the fight. Bellew’s professional experience is going to make this fight a lot closer than any of you can imagine. He’s not going to allow Usyk to dictate the fight, he’s going to spoil his rhythm and try and get in on the inside and throw some wild bombs. Some people have suggested he’ll quit or his corner will pull him out...you couldn’t be further from the truth. Bellew leaves it all in the ring on Saturday and Usyk will know that he’s been in a very tough fight to the point where everyone writes off his chances of causing Joshua any problems in future. I believe he puts Usyk on the canvas...the lad will probably get back up to win but that’s what I believe will happen. Shock the world Tony lad! This content is protected
If Bellew tries getting inside and throw wild bombs then he will get beat up. Bellew doesn't have the skill of Ward and will get tagged all night long.
