Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tony Bellew

[Alpha]

Wonder how this will sell.

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

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.

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.

Bellews gonna walk through him and knock him out.
Left hook round 6 😉

Don't see it happening. Usyk may be the one scoring the stoppage. This ain't no shot to bits David Haye.

Fancy a bet? 😁

Seriously though I can't be the only one that's 99% sure Hearn has this already going to a "Points Win" for Usyk.
He's already saying he wants to showcase him as often as possible on DAZN in the USA so he simply can't lose.
Add to that Hearn and Bellew are genuinely best mates and Bellew has already said it's his last fight.
I bet Bellews taking a massive share of the purse for this too (70/30) maybe to convincingly roll over but make it look good in his farewell fight, it'll be a sell out and do ok on tv figures so its a perfect launch pad for Usyk against a widely known fighter.
Pretty sure this one's already decided.

Genius by Hearn when you think outside the box 😉

So why would we bet? We both think Usyk wins

But I agree, it is a nice launching pad for Usyk.

Evander's cruiserweight days were 190 not 200, that weight increase totally changed that division, they all look like 70s heavyweights.

For a powderpuff puncher only four men have taken Uysk the distance, they're 93-0 combined, never been floored let alone beat.
