Bellew v Usyk

[Freedom]

Bellew was winning the fight?

Not in reality, just in the minds of the home judges.

Bellew looked good for awhile and did win a few rounds, though. I had Usyk ahead just 4 rounds to 3 after 7.

Well done, Bellew.I had him winning the fight 5-2 or 4-3 at worst, but he got caught with a beautiful punch. Bellew was a class act after the fight.

Bellew did better than I thought he would, but I only had him winning one round. Two other rounds were pretty close that I could see be given to Bellew. Definite home town scoring with two judges having him ahead.

Usyk is just like other great fighters. He gets better as the fight continues and adjusts. Bellew fought the best fight he could. He went all out and got brutally KO’d because of it.

This is what happened exactly.

We all knew the result of this fight and we was all interested in this fight because of the possibillty of Bellew upsetting the odds. It would have been great to see it but in reality Usyk is a level above Bellew.

I lost tonight though. I had Usyk KO Bellew within 6 rds. 2 rounds earlier i was 4k in pocket. Damn.

You are just as bad as the judges and Froch.

I'm one of Usyk's biggest fans but I gave Bellew the first 3 rounds. Other rounds were also close.

Yeah it was only the last couple of rounds Uysk really dominated, it took him until the 4th round to get his range which is when the fight quickly went south for Bellew.

Once Uysk was consistently landing his jab Bellew was reduced to swinging for a home run. Good fight.

[Fenster]

Haye and Froch's scoring is brilliant - they give more 10-10's than me, prime Jim Watt and Reg, I advocate more 10-10 rounds in boxing, however, you're not allowed to give 10-10's just because your mate got whupped in that particular round. Hilarious.

I give Bellew some credit for his bravery, and definitely for being able to promote and build up very average matchups. The guy can talk, and he can annoy people ..... which sells tickets and PPV.

Definitely overachieved in his career.

However, in this fight, it went like this;

Bellew spends two rounds skirting the ropes, trying to draw the Southpaw Usyk onto a big straight right counter. Usyk has seen many fighters doing this standard tactic and just refuses to play ball.

Next two rounds are Usyk gets the jab going and starts to break Bellow down with hurtful right hooks.

Next two rounds, Usyk pressures Bellew constantly giving him no respite or time to take a sneaky break. He cuts off the ring, very smart footwork, and the sheer volume of accurate punches knocks the stuffing out of Bellew ..... who is only trying to survive at this point.

7 and 8 are as one sided as you are going to see at top level. Bellew just has the shit beaten out of him.

I’m not Bellew’s biggest fan (massive understatement) but he fought better than I thought he would. But as Usyk stepped up the gears, Bellew had no way of coping with it. I’m not a fan of the showboating and running your back and going for a walk when you’re losing, but he did ok.
To be fair to him, he’s made a load of money, secured his future and gone out on his terms . Good luck to the scouse cunt.

Just as good you mean? Thank you.Clean effective counter punching beats ineffective aggression any day until that clean effective counter puncher gets tired and knocked out lol
