Comments Thread For: Bellew is Backing Oleksandr Usyk To Shock Tyson Fury, Become Undisputed

[baroidi]

Bellew is on the Hearn payroll right? All I hear from him is nothing but praise for Hearn's (former)golden goose, Joshua, and denigrates Hearn's opposition, Fury.

While I believe Fury defeats Usyk, I'm of the opinion there is room for some problems here given Fury's increased girth. At the top I believe we have a game of mere inches. Sometimes what we see in the ring is a degree of illusion. It will come down to having to use angles, the "timing of distance" and conditioing for Usyk to win, but the room for this to occur exists. And make no mistake, Usyk is a bonafide heavyweight.

Tony Bellend picking against Tyson Fury, who would've thought it?

As long as Haye picks Usyk to win I'm happy.

Yeah , spot on.That's his job. Old 'ROCKY' and you'll never hear the last of how well he got KO'd by Usyk and if he couldn't beat him then Fury can't ...right!

Him hyping up Usyk is a good thing for Fury imo. Fury will be more likely to get credit of he fights and beats him.

I don’t follow Bellew on a regular basis, but I remember the only person besides myself that I heard calling Usyk over Joshua in the first fight was him.
I’m not as sure about this but a couple of things to consider.

-The last southpaw Fury faced split his head open and lost by a narrow margin.
-Fury has only beat Wilder, a fighter with terrible footwork and head movement, and two shot domestic fighters since then.
-Usyk on the other hand, has done everything he’s said he’d do in spite of all the naysayers, and he’s done it with the upmost integrity and determination.

I hope Fury grows a pair and the fight gets made. He himself knows it won’t be an easy nights work.

Chisora - gave Usyk a tougher fight than AJ, and battered Pulev, one of AJ's biggest wins, before facing Fury

Whyte - apparently the most ducked man in Boxing, 1,056 days as the reigning mandatory challenger, before facing Fury

You can't hide your bias, so why bother?

Well if Fury stops his rematch clause shenanigans, I guess we will find out who's right in just under 7 weeks time.

When ever Bellew picks some one ,I go to the bet shop and put money on the other guy.
His mates, in-laws or previous opponents are always going to win!! bux
