    The way he folded was almost Khanesque.

    So i did wonder if that chin is actually glass, or can USYK just bang!?

    he has been tested at this level once before and he got sparked out.

    Bellew is a sky sports myth but you all fell for it

    I think Bellew's chin isn't too sturdy but Usyk can bang if he needs to. Like Loma vs Martinez, similarly brutal KO from 'featherfisted' boxer.

    Nah Bellew took some flush shots from Haye and didn’t go down. Usyk Just has underrated power and set up the finishing sequence perfectly.

    He doesn't have a glass chin. Just got caught with a good shot when his guard was down and was on wobbly legs. I don't think Usyk is featherfisted as some believe, but I don't think he can BANG either. Very average. But when obviously enough to put someone down.

    Bellew took good shots off of Haye, that`s no glass jaw at all.

    He hadn't made CW in years, was absolutely knackered and was already stunned from the first left hand.. it didnt require a huge shot to turn him over

    Belew was probably tired, you can`t take a shot well when you`re tired, I feel he might have been weight drained, two stones in a lot of weight to cut, might be the same story for Fury in the mid-latre rounds vs Wilder.

    True. Haye landed clean punches in rounds 1-5 in their 1st fight, Bellew ate them all

    Round 4 showed Usyk will stop Bellew.

    Bellew was nearly knocked down and wobbled massively from a solid left counter.

    Only a question of time.

    Been saying Usyk has VERY respectable pop for years. It’s obvious even in his bag work!

    Are you packing a glass brain?
    Comparing Bellew to a man who got rocked by Willie Limond.

    He was gassed big pricey style so it was basically a free shot, he got hit as clean as you can get hit. He isn't packing wafer thin glass but it isn't triple glazing either.

    Truth is somewhere in the middle I think.
    I always knew that chin was suspect, but Usyk can bang for sure.

    was out on his feet against a shot Brudov. needed the ref to save him with a fictitious low blow rest.
