People keep forgetting that Bellew had already been KO'd at LHW by Adonis Stevenson. So don't put much stock into Usyk knocking him out.
Don't believe Usyk's style will lend him to be successful at HW against the elites. He is too hitable. I could even see Big baby Miller stopping him
There are no ELITES at HW...lol!!! None.
Micheal Spinks is way better than Usyk. Let's see if Usyk even gets a title at HW first. Spinks fought HOFs his resume is legit.
Lol!!! I know Michael Spinks from my Philly days. No he would not beat Usyk. Why? Usyk has more mobility, power, angles. Much quicker than Holmes, who you must be judging Spinks against. Spinks was a hero of mine but no, he would not beat him. Might be a great fight though..
If you check Kovalev is with Top Rank as is Gvozdyk.
Bivol is with Ryabinsky's 'World of boxing', and Beterbiev as of 2018 is with PBC, so it's a bit of a soup.
The only two I see fighting each other in the next year is Bivol and Kovalev. Bivol stays busy and is fighting Smith Jr on 9th March.
Beterbiev will most likely fight bums for the foreseeable future and hold the IBF belt for ransom unless he truly wants to challenge himself.
I can't see Gvozdyk risking his belt for a while.
Bivol v Kovalev late this year might happen, but that depends on Buddy McGirts advice to Kova.
One thing preventing certain belt holders sitting on them are the prospects and contenders coming through.
I really hate these faux fight fans that use the term bum. You're an ass
This is unusual confidence for a man who was flat on his back in the 12th just two days ago.
Fury dodged a bullet. He looked very good, I will admit, but theres still the chance he can get starched at any given moment.
He'll have to walk the razors edge all night, again, to beat Wilder.
And you are a fokking Wilder fanboy. Other than the two rounds Wilder knocked him down Wilder was SHUT OUT. #fuc kingcasuals
I am one of the most unbiased posters on this site. After watching this fight I scored it 113-113. 7 rounds to 5 for Fury but the difference was the 2 knock downs. I gave Fury rounds 1,3,6,7,8,10 & 11. I gave Wilder rounds 2,4,5, 9 & 10. The 5th round was the one round Fury gave away as he threw very little & landed only few punches. Wilder may have missed a lot in that round but he was busier & landed a few shots. That was a very close round & hard to score but I gave it to Wilder for his activity level. As for the controversy on the KDs. Both KDs Reiss did the same thing. He gave him the count & asked Tyson to walk away & back. Some people were saying that he gave Fury extra time to recover. Well I timed it. Fury was up at 9 & by the time he called them to fight it was 21.11 seconds from the time he hit the canvas. Reiss may have allowed Fury a couple extra seconds but that was it. Kudos to Reiss for not calling off the fight when Tyson was laying on his back. Good fight but Wilder's eraser right hand made the difference again. Both KDs were started by the right & followed with a left. 113-113 on my card...Let's do it again!
How can you be unbiased with that score? Let me ask you a question; what is it about your scoring that we need to feel is legit? Have you been a pro judge?
He pulled a Kovalev:grr:
Hey, f a g let me guess, you have a pedigree far and away much bigger than Pac Man, Kovalev and Atlas. You've won titles in 43 different weight classes from embryo to fat f u c k. Your mouth is way too big and I bet you would get hit in it a lot if you climbed out your bedroom window and went out into the public. Luckily mommy grounded you for life for touching dog d i c k s inappropriately. Get a life. You are a HATER and a FANBOY. You are even way too stupid for a casual.
What is Atlas talking about? Guy is an idiot.
So....which fighters have you trained? How many champs have you brought to the podium? You sound like a retard.
Why didnt he claim a shoulder injury, it worked for Pac:oops:
I heard g a y f u c k s in the middle of a sexual reassignment surgery because of a short d i c k always pick on Pac Man because they KNOW his balls are so huge compared to their unfinished v a g i n a .
Hurd's last name starts with H.
If you replaced that with a T,
you'd see what he looked like last night.
J Rock has his number, AND he's way overdue to move up to MW.
If this clown actually stays at JMW and does the rematch...
he's nuts.
You are a f u c k i n g a s s hole. Where the f u c k do you get off calling ANY fighter names? Mister "I get my identity by calling out pro boxers on a comment thread." You are a POS.
I’m sure we can all agree that if Fury commits to boxing, he can cement a legacy of greatness. He can even afford to lose a couple of fights on the way back up.
I’m happy to see him get his act together & I wish him all the best.
But...
BOMMMB
SQUAAAAD!!!!!!!
Wilder and Fury are the two biggest clowns in boxing. AJ will end the discussion.
I used to like GGG but I've been a Canelo fan sense Canelo was 19-20 years old.
I thought GGG was decent and he is a very good fighter but I watched Canelo out class him and both fights regardless what the critic's think. He beat him defensively in the first and offensively in the 2nd.
Canelo has been fighting nothing but Champions or champion level fighters for years though and GGG is and has been fighting nobodies for the most part!
I don't think GGG deserves a 3rd fight right now. I think he should fight Andrade and the winner can fight Canelo in December! Not impressed at all with a win over a nobody that no one has truly even heard of! GGG at worst should have fault Charlo! GGG is only looking at money and I have no use for that or his bum picks.
I used to think there was nobody for GGG to fight but it appears the only fights that he picks on average is no bodies.
Andddddddd......you've just proven you are a fan boy. He beat GGG the first fight DEFENSIVELY?? Go away.
THERE ARE NO "BUMS" IN THE SPORT as many as*sholes state over and over. Thoughtless casuals that have watched too many Rocky reruns. Usually it's some fat ass that couldn't lace up a velcro glove. Respect to anyone in the sport. Trainers too. Promoters the exception..lol!!
So many more things I would like to do than watch another Baby Hughie fight. Root canal, walking on broken glass. What's that on the front of his shirt? Blood from chest acne now? What a miserable "fighter."
I still can't believe Manny KO'd him liked that. Ricky has never been right since.
Are you a boxing fan or just following the lives of The Rich and Famous?
This delusional, arrogant prick better not get to sub for Groves in the final. That would destroy all the integrity of Groves win. This little sh*t needs to disappear for awhile. Thank God senior came to his senses.
Just a British writer taking a shot at Wilder and exaggerating his story. Wilder is the best heavyweight in the world and ready to prove it, hopefully AJ gets tired of fighting stiffs and they public puts pressure on him to take this fight the we all want to see
You're cracked. Ortiz will KO him and the boxing "elites" that think KOs mean greatness can find another rock to climb under. You are probably a nationalist and think GGG was always overrated.
No matter what shape B-Jo Saunders is in HE SUCKS AS A BOXER. And NO power. Lemieux will not let this go to the score cards. BJ will get what we all need-his mouth to stfu.
He got pummeled for almost 30 seconds and didn't hit the deck. He can take a punch.
lol! By an old man with no speed, no footwork and was half gassed when he connected. Come on to compare Wilder and his skill set to AJs is silly. His power is not going to be as much of a factor with AJ either. It took TWELVE Rounds for Ortiz to beat Malik Scott yet he almost had Wilder out of there! lol! You are supposed to be a "knowledgeable" fan of the sport.
Wilder better come in there at least 222lbs for AJ, because the lethargic tired droop style used tonight leaves just as many opportunities for opponents catching him as it does for counters and offence..... the pampered AJ is tough & quicker....and btw will NOW request a fight against Ortiz......
GRIT, FORTITUDE & CHARACTER saved the day to give a DRAMATIC & ENTERTAINING ending against the crafty boogyman southpaw that was blessed with a GREAT amateur background!!!
I think the 214 weight drain lent itself to the Drunken Master (old Karate flick) depleted tired movement. Nevertheless, that NEVER QUIT attitude AMAZINGLY trumped anything that King Kong could've brought and DID bring!!
Parker will bring the fireworks too, and can win it if he plays the role of "boxer" utilizing the entire ring, especially if he does the high altitude training against an AJ choosing to do the 255lb hulk bulk!
KING Wilder did his thing tonight in SLOPPY but intentional fashion, yet he STILL "right now" wants to MIX IT UP with the VERY BEST of em'!!!.... Awww man! What a CHAMP!! The SKINNY light guy can get FLOORED in the HEAVYWEIGHT ranks, but gets right back up.....completely FORGETTING the past last 2 minutes - then put in the demolition WORK!! "Champion" characteristics indeed!!
lol! He was hit ALL NIGHT LONG by an old man with no speed, no footwork and was half gassed when he connected. Come on to compare Wilder and his skill set to AJs is silly. His power is not going to be as much of a factor with AJ either. It took TWELVE Rounds for Ortiz to beat Malik Scott yet he almost had Wilder out of there! lol! You are supposed to be a "knowledgeable" fan of the sport.
Hope you enjoyed the fight. Looking forward to you keeping your word about not ****ting on Wilder anymore.
You're 100% correct that it's not so easy when you go against one of the best in the world and King Kong deserves a lot of props for giving a great effort.
Wilder vs King Kong and Joshua vs Klitschko will both go down as classic heavyweight title fights and all of us that enjoy the big boys should feel lucky to be living during a heavyweight renaissance.

This fight is exactly what Wilder needed to show the world. It's a replay of aj/k.
We have learned a lot about aj and w now. Going to be a very interesting fight.
A replay of AJ/K. Righhhhttttttt. I know someone who drank too much or was up past his bed time. lol!
Seriously. How can you hate on what we saw last night? One of the best HW fights in a long long time. (Along with VK v. AJ of course)
Wilder is a clown a farce and a legend in his own mind. AJ castrates him.
Well, i guess Wilder hits harder than Wladimir, if Wilder lands, Joshua goes down as well.
Wilder -AJ is 50-50 fight.
LOL!!! Sure. OK. Unbelievable. Just make sure AJ doesn't tag him like Ortiz did. ALL NIGHT LONG. lol! :boxing:
