Usyk v Bellew - What Happens

[Taansend]

Usyk just called out Bellew at either Cruise or Heavy.

Eddie Hearn just has a sex wee.

O2 in November I reckon.

Who wins (obviously Bellew)?

[Boxerbeetle]

Bellew schools him of course, puts on another boxing masterclass

[DrDuke]

Probably Usyk in this case will provide Huck fight like outcome.

[lillywhite14]

Embarrassing that Uysk calls out Bellew.

It’s like Harry Kane slagging off Derby County.

[Stuarty]

Usyk just provided a proper masterclass there! That was one of the best performances you're likely to see near a ring!

After that he can do what he wants....

Its all about the dollars now though to be fair to him mate, he has all four belts but they won't pay his pension off. Can't blame him for chasing the cash cows now and Eddie will sell a fight with Bellew no problem, Sky will convince people that Tony can beat him too.

Powah

[Armchair warrior]

Usyk by KO.

No other outcome I can see.

[Nightmare Roy]

Could happen PPV for all the belts, TB would be up for it if the money was good I reckon, can't see him winning though.

[Grilling Machine]

If Bellew won he'd trigger the biggest reappraisal in boxing history.

[ewenhay]

The difference from tonight is that Bellew would try and make him lead.

I don't think he has the power to ko Bellew. If he stops any bigger guys it will be on their feet after a flurry of unanswered punches.

Bellew has decent "powa" and could hurt him if he catches him.

Not saying it wouldn't be the same result as tonight as I'd fancy usyk on points but it would be a different dynamic.

[handsofstone]

I think Bellew's a massively improved fighter but I imagine Usyk would give him the type of beating he got from Stevenson, he's too accurate

There's no doubt Usyk mixes up the speed and power of his shots but I do think he's still a bit out of sync of when to turn it up a notch, he hasn't adapted offensively as quickly as Lomachenko who used to be the same, once he does that and learns to work the body more he'll be the perfect boxer

I'm nitpicking though he was near flawless

[jamamb]

usyks too good, just different levels and usyk is plenty fresh

id really like to see usyk in the uk though,, and he sure doesnt back away from a challenge on the road

[Grilling Machine]

I do think he's still a bit out of sync of when to turn it up a notch

I was thinking the same during those later rounds. I can only once recall him throwing a couple of shots with venom, and unlike Calzaghe's mixing up of powershots (when his hands were okay), he wouldn't commit. But then with that sort of a lead...

And because workrate was the big difference it was very sensible to conserve energy, but just a handful of spiteful shots would've given me more confidence in his heavyweight chances. He has faster feet than anyone at heavy, but it remains to be seen how far that can take him against taller, stronger, heavier men. There's a definite cruel side to his character, so I think he'd tear through the slower domestics.

31's not old, but he made Gassiev look the veteran! There seems to be a link between Gassiev and Golovkin just as there is between Usyk and Loma. Gassiev and Golovkin are excellent at beating others at the same game, both thriving on making subtle changes against those who look for them. But for the first time we saw Gassiev out of ideas and clumsy versus a mover. I hope that's not a harbinger of Golovkin's rematch against Canelo.

[mullenman]

This would be s great fight...

I would pay big money to see this no problem

It would be a real ppv even with a poor undercard

Oh yeah I can see why he did it. He’s clearly eyeing up Joshua. Bellew is a great starting point and would earn Uysk good dough too.

It’s a good idea for Bellew too. It’d sell well with Eddie involved.

Yeah, won all his titles in his opponents home countries.

Going in the first fight we suspected Haye was finished but also knew he was bigger, stronger, more explosive and should still deal with Bellew easily. Then the injury happened. Going into the second we still where unsure how the land really lay but knew not much was left in Haye but not many expected what did happen.. What Bellew did was execute a plan perfectly, show more explosive power and reactions than we credited going in and showed a real set of smarts for a game plan.

The Haye win was not as impressive a feat as casuals think it was but nor was it the unimpressive feat which hardcores say it was.

I would not count him out against Usyk. Bellew is not as good as he thinks he is but is better than many give him credit for.

[Andrew]

I think Bellew's a massively improved fighter but I imagine Usyk would give him the type of beating he got from Stevenson, he's too accurate

He beat a crippled man twice and BJ Flores in two years.

That's not improving.

[Andrew]

Unlikely it happens. But it could be an option.

Matchroom always have a late November/ early December PPV they don't have many options outside Brook v Khan.

[tobyh5]

Curious how people think Cruiserweight Haye would have fared against the WBSS guys, in particular Usyk.

He’d have pulled out injured.

[daviddee]

Bellew knows he loses to Usyk. He said it himself before same as when he said he would lose to Fury.. As a fan I really respect Bellew and what he stands for as a man/family guy... However as soon as he speaks you can’t help but hope he get knocked out.. He loses badly to Fury or Usyk the would both expose his boxing ability which is Way below both them.. I just hope he doesn’t get hurt he has made loads of money and over achieved in the sport he shouldn’t push it
