Bellew sounding confident but can he pull this one off?

I think Tony has a very good chance and I’m hoping he pulls it off.

 

I usually back Usyk even at short odds but I'm going to sit this one out.

I think he'll win but I'm wary.

Fighting in other guys' backyards all the time usually ends in tears after a while.

Usyk for the win but I won't be collecting.

 

He was confident against Stevenson too. Bellew is a warrior when he gets in that ring but I think this is a challenge to much for him, credit for taking it though

 

Obviously, anything is possible in boxing, but i just cannot see a way he wins this. Only hope is a robbery points win imo

 

I just cant see it, Bellew has proved to me hes better than i ever thought he was, not in the Haye fights as such cuz Haye was gone but Cruiser seems to suit him alot better than Light Heavy ever did. But we are talking about Uysk here, theres levels to this game and theres more than 1 level between those 2. Bellew is getting schooled i think here. Not that im saying its impossible, especially at the bigger wieghts. Good luck to him though, im looking forward to the fight thats for sure.

 

Usyk already beat significantly better opposition as Bellew. Only thing he has going for him is his ability to upset the odds due to unforseen circumstances.

His best win at Cruiser is either edging Masternak or stopping Makabu after getting dropped by him. Masternak just got beaten by Dorticos in about the same fashion, and he isn't close to Usyk level.

 

if uysk can stop the left hook then i dont see how bellew wins/

 

Mentally Bellew will not be able to break Usyk. He will have to break Usyk with his hands, if he hopes to win.

 

Got a gut feeling for Bellew. No idea why.

 

Watch Bellew resort to nutting and low blowing Usyk because he can’t land anything.

 

Nice column from him on the BBC website. He's picked 7 photos that define him. Worth a read.

 

He's the master of sincerity that's why imo, he just cant blag me against Usyk, no matter what comes out his mush !

 

Usyk will just up his game and show the difference in skill more, behind that smile is a very tough man with top level grit, he wont be bullied by Bellew
