    Wonder how this will sell.

    I know nothing about Usyk but I have warmed to Bellew of late.

    In the UK Bellew will shift a load of tickets amongst the casuals and then once the media machine gets rolling and they start bigging up Usyk it'll get even more tickets sold.

    I hope that they sell Bellew as the underdog though, if they try to say that Usyk needs the win to prove he has dominated the CW division it'll be wrong.

    Bellew is the one who needs Usyk not the other way round.

    Either way it's still a good scrap and I'll be watching fully expecting Usyk to win

    Check him out, buddy. I think Usyk is the real thing. Easily the best cruiser since Holyfield and would ave given Evander all sorts of problems.

    That's almost a thread in itself, considering Holyfield at Cruiser was doing 15 rounders

    Nobody could deal with the Real Deal Holyfield. He was a machine who threw perfect combinations and never got tired.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Agree with X, easily the best Cruiser since Evander.

    He'll move up to heavy soon enough and dominate there as well.

    The only problem with Usyk is that he doesn’t have much power. He wears people down, but at HW he will have a hard time keeping them off of him.

    If you get a chance watch a few of his world super series fights. They were at heavy, without hear gear, and most using 10 G 12 oz gloves, over 5 rounds. As close to pro as possible.

    I feel Usyk's power will still be respectable at heavy.

    Nistor, had ko'd Joshua.

    Medzhidov, has an outstanding amateur career and holds wins over top guys.

    He beat Joyce, who arguably should have won a gold. And is 5-0 as a pro.

    He fought beat Junior Fa, now a 15-0 unbeaten heavyweight prospect.

    He also beat Briedis (who holds a win over current WBA champ Charr), Huck who arguably beat a prime/roided Povetkin and is now campaigning at heavyweight, and Hunter, who had moved up as well.

    He also beat Glowacki, he holds a win over Cunningham, who had some success at heavy.

    Agree evander is the best cruiser of all time regardless what happens in this fight.

    good to hear Usyk saying he wants fury and wilder aswel. He's not ducking the giants when he moves up

    That is scandalous and out of order. Holyfield was clean then.

    Just know this, Usyk is basically a cruiserweight Loma.

    Yea and he stays in the mix.
    I think Usyk will move up weight after Bellew and then watch some posters say he is avoiding Lebedev.
    Nah Lebedev had his chance to enter the WBSS but chose not to. It's still a good defense if Usyk chooses to remain at Cruiser for another fight or 2.

    I agree with this. Didn't Loma's dad train Usyk for his last fight?
