Bellew v Usyk

[smashup]

Looks like this is happening, both fighters want it so just sorting out if it's at Cruiser or Heavyweight.

Thought Bellew would hold out for the Fury fight purely from a financial angle.

If it is at cruiserweight, and it should be, then Usyk will box circles around Bellew. I would love to see Bellew outclassed. David has an overinflated opinion of himself.

I think Eddie and Bellew will try and make it a heavyweight just to even the odds but even then I think he loses.

I think it will be at heavyweight. Bellew would struggle to get down to Cruiser now, and Usyk wants to move to heavyweight.

Its a good matchup for Usyk. His titles won't be at stake, he gets his first heavyweight fight against a small guy with a big marquee name from Creed, and I think he handily beats Bellew.

I hope you are right the only concern would be how well Usyk handles the extra weight. It will be an interesting matchup.

This probably won’t happen. When the harsh reality of how little Bellew will earn for a hiding dawns on him, there’ll be a few bullshit excuses and that’ll be that.
I hope the fucking idiot retires.

Sky/Eddie will make it ppv and Usyk will not be getting that big a purse fighting anyone else. It certainly a better matchup than Bellew v Haye.

What's the point of having it at heavyweight, bellew isn't a serious heavyweight and usyk has the belts at cruiserweight... Seems very odd to have it at heavyweight, there loads of British guys at heavyweight they could sell better in blighty than usyk at heavyweight... I doubt bellew will face him at cruiserweight though... Can usyk still make 200 lbs easy?

Hopefully Usyk is getting a lot of money for this because Bellew is nowhere near his league. I feel like there are for sure better fights to be made.

I actually thought about Usyk vs Ward. Would love to see it.

Ward could win x4 belts at cruiserweight in less than 36 minutes and retire again as a x3 weight division undefeated champion.

Case closed.

Doubt it whether Bellew will accept the fight with Usyk but if he does..and he wins..then Ward would definitely come out of retirement for that fight.

Usyk wants to move up

[Alpha]

This will be another clinic. Throw in a knock down or 2 for Usyk as well.

I think Usyk stops Bellew at either weight. Too much skill and output for a guy like Bellew who is in love with his own supposed 'Bomber' power. Usyk is not some over the hill crocked fighter, he is coming off a dominant performance and is just so much faster than Tony it could be embarrassing. Can't wait
