Looks like former foe Masternak was ringside last night. Or at least I think that's him congratulating Bellew in these pics http://i.imgur.com/QqrZxhc.png http://i.imgur.com/LfoNzKU.png
I think Bellew showed a noticeable improvement and I believe he will fight with more confidence in himself now. Damn good finish!
You're in for a treat with Usyk when you get the chance to watch him. :good Also, I think you're selling Lebedev's skill a little short these days. He's gotten better since the Huck fight (which was close, but I had him winning), and is very crafty when it comes to landing that left hand. I think he's also learned from the Guillermo Jones war, which is impressive considering I've seen lesser wars than that end careers.
Bellew is better now and has shown noticeable improvement. I'm sure not killing himself to make 175 helps tremendously, too- he reminds me of Adamek as it relates to making a better Cruiser than LHW because of it.
I look forward to seeing Usyk. Lebedev has some glaring weaknesses imo. His hand speed is very lacking and he is wide open to the straight right. However his footwork is quality, his fitness is incredible and his power is legit. The huck fight could have gone either way and the Jones fight shouldn't be counted as a loss imo. So there's ever argument that he's unbeaten, but he is not a technical marvel. And the two losses did highlight issues. He's not been in with a banger since the Jones loss so it's hard to say what his durability is like these days. He's a massive favourite over Bellew, but it's not an impossible ask for the Bomber.
The delusion is strong with a lot of these guys, evidently Bellew fans are just as irrational and illogical as he is.;lol:
True, i didn't like he's ' iv got the best belt,im the man ' either, if he looked through boxing, the wbc currently has the weakest champions out of the four belts
That was ridiculous, I've never seen a more obnoxious victory speech, any good will myself or others had for him after pulling off one of the biggest wins was sabotaged by him almost instantly.
Ya was the same for me actually, i taught he would get sparked out. When he won i was over the moon for him because for the most part on he's interviews bellew is a great guy but he seemed to lose the run of himself there and he is usually quiet modest after fights even when he wins The good thing about bellew though is he will fight anyone, he wont duck anybody which means he will be in some big fights coming up
The worst one was when Bellew said he wouldn't travel to fight Huck in Germany and that Huck would have to come to him. This was before Bellew had won his strap obviously. The arrogance of the man.
They should have it in goodison lol Great that he won a world title and can hopefully bring some big fights to England Id love to see him against usyk Tony already said he's the best in the division
Gotta love all these Bellew experts, any of you actually met the man in person ? Or do you watch a boxer trying to sell himself and build future fights, and decide he's too arrogant ?
