Bellew Looks Bog eyed and cant remember most of the fight. Asks what round it was then 30 seconds later asks what round it was again.
Hopefully just KO memory and nothing serious.

Bellew was winning the fight?
That KO will join my YouTube favourites along with Amir Khans KO's
Khan and his Mrs looked shocked when Bellew was knocked out. Eddie was also ready to catch Bellew as he fell.Quote:

I caught the end though and Tonys brain looked fried.
Looking forward to seeing how Ursyk fairs in the HW's.
For once I'm not entirely skeptical about a guy hyping a move up. But heavyweight is another matter for Usyk. The man has completely cleaned house so should be fun to watch. Most assuredly would take him more serious than Miller fighting faded 45 yr olds and TBAs for trinkets.
Yes could you not tell by him becoming mostly ineffective and tired and taking damage and then resting on the floor... that's how you win fightsQuote:

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

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.Quote:

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

11:40 to see Bellew break down in tears
In summary
I got beat by a fantastic fighter
I'm a scouser
I've made a lot of money
I love my kids
I'm a scouser
I'm going to have a little cry now
I made money punching people in the face
I love my kids
Usyk is a great fighter
I'm a scouser
You are just as bad as the judges and Froch.Quote:

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. ;D;)
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 lolQuote:

Usyk looked good and has brilliant footwork and timing but looked far from the Mr invincible tag some of you make him out to be.
I think you're right on, usyk clearly had a plan to avoid anything big early on and let bellew waste energy running around the ring and hitting usyks gloves. Once bellew started to tire usyk started fighting and started bashing him the last two rounds.... Good plan and worked perfectly, bit risky though to do it it such a loud atmosphere, he was quite far behind on one scorecard but really after around half of the fight the results wasnt in doubt. Good work from usykQuote:

While Tony was ahead on two of the official scorecards, Froch in the view of many fans had it too far wide all together in his favour.

Ultimately scorecards didn’t count from anyone in the end as Usyk landed the perfect shot to stop the fight.
But as always in boxing, fans like to debate scorecards whatever the outcome of the fight is.

Wow..... good thing I guess.
Has anyone seen the picture that Crolla posted of his piss test?
Pretty scary stuff, makes you realise what they put themselves through.
Just showing the boys at work the pic... Looks like a jar of real ale
I dunno what type of real ale you've been drinking but I've certainly never had any that looks like that
