Usyk v Bellew predictions? Bellew KO

Usyk K0 9.

Too talented and probably too strong for the weight weakened Bellew.

Bellew talking retirement. He'll wish he had taken it one fight earlier.

Don't see this fight competitive in the least.

Usyk by a shotout/near-shotout decision narrowed by the judges. Won't be surprised, if the fight will have a late stoppage.

I will be surprised if Bellew wins more than 1 or 2 rounds, maybe he will lose all rounds. Usyk by late stoppage.

Usyk by decision. But Bellew will look better than what everyone is saying

I have a problem with picking a fighter who has already stated it’s his last fight. You could do the math on those final fights, the retiring fighter almost always cashes it in. They never go to the depths of hell where upset victories live.

Which brings me to a point, Bellew finally has a name that carries some stink so why the f would he not leave the door open for other paydays? I don’t get some of these Brits. They all seem to retire before striking while the irons hot. Stupid.

It’s PRIZE FIGHTING guys.

I assume that if Bellew pulls off the upset for the ages, he will immediately shelve that retirement talk.

The payday of his career would await in a rematch.

But there's also a strong chance that even if he's pummeled tonight, Bellew will return after taking a 6 month vacation.

That's what fighters do. They fight.

right pipino, it is just talk.

usyk should dominate, win a landslide decision lets say.

bellew looked very sharp v a shot haye. but it will look the other way round tonight.

lets hope bellew can do something to make it interesting, and if he pulls an upset, maximum respect.

Bellew - it’s upset time guys!

Agreed. I'm hoping Bellew can draw Usyk into a fight and stop him late.

Bellew apparently wants a war. I don’t think
Usyk will give it to him Early, using his feet. Then in the later rounds when Usyks ready to plant his feet, bellew won’t want the war. No disrespect to bellew who has tonnes of heart but very tough to be in there for 12 rounds with this kind of elite energetic beast.

bellew often talks war but realty hes more of a boxer

though i think best chance is if he can get usyk exchangng and sloppy. usy is by far better when hes stcikng and moving and letting the guy come to hm rather then forcing offense

If its correct what I heard on the radio, this is Bellew's last fight win or lose.

I was rooting for Bellew as ive liked his last few fights and his personality, even though hes a bit gobby.

Saying all that if its is correct about his career then im hoping Usyk wins and keeps the 4 belts. Wouldnt like to see Bellew win and throw them away and defragment them.

Agree. Although I believe he thinks Usyk is the superior boxer. Maybe his thinking is if he can lull Usyk into a brawl he can make his power count and fight on the back foot. Usyk though is too smart and skilled start that way.

Ah no bellew has a cushiony beard - that changes everything. Usyk punches will bounce off him like water off a ducks back.

I didn’t expect Bellew to have the ability to outbox Usyk, but that’s what I’m seeing so far.

I’m not suggesting that the Ukraine won’t win, but he hasn’t had a good start against Bellew.

Usky has thrown lots but keeps missing.

Bellew is throwing bombs to the body. And they keep landing.

I don’t see anything that Usyk has to beat Anthony Joshua, regardless the outcome of this fight.

Big rd 7 for Usyk. Bellew is tiring considerably.

I had Usyk one round up at the time of that truly shocking stoppage.

Good stoppage by the ref. Very interesting fight!

usy was pullng ahead. he often starts slow. carl froch was totally biased

usy won everythng after 3 for me. bellew started well but you could see it slowly change. he was prob gong to lose all the leftover rounds imo

Defeats Briedis at his home. Defeats Gassiev at his home. Defeats Bellew at his home. Fighter of year, no doubt. Defeats Glowacki, Mchunu, and Hunter at foreign soil too. Usyk is best cruiserweight since Evander Holyfield. Maybe he has better resume than Evander at cruiser now.

Can someone post the scorecards?
