So if Bellew sparks him, is he fighter of the year? Don't write him off yet because he is a very good fighter at the higher weight.

No, if he loses he's out. Usyk will handle Bellew though.

I actually expect the fight to travel the distance....Bellew only has a knock out chance but Usyk is too skillful.

Gassiev´s best weapon = left hook
Bellew´s best weapon = left hook

Usyk already took away Gassiev´s best weapon and he will do it with Bellew. Bellew´s only chance is that Usyk gets injured like Haye in the first Bellew fight.

Usyk gonna beat the brakes off Bellew

Did Hopkins also hold the Ring Magazine belt at that time ?

Yes he did. I believe he won that when he beat Trinidad.

Usyk is no past his prime & injury prone Haye ! Usyk is in his prime and the best Cruiserweight in the world. I can't see how Bellew beats him.

Think the Haye wins might have pumped Tony’s confidence up a bit too much for his own good. Haye was old and broken.

Usyk should win a wide UD, my guess would be something along the lines of 10 or 11 rounds. Bellew might have half an eye on retirement, so could even see Usyk forcing a late stoppage.

Briedis, Huck and Gassiev are all better than Bellew at Cruiser, so not expecting anything other than a punchers chance for Tony. Fair play for taking the fight though.

Agree with all of this other than the last part. Bellew has always said he'd never get in the ring against a true HW like AJ and Joshua said he'd never fight bellew in an interview last week .

principal of scarcity .

trust me, when 10 million bucks + is lined up he'll fight king kong.

The winner gets AJoke April 13

Bellew's a little underrated imo, he's good enough to make this a contest worth watching.

Of course, I'm under no illusions as to who the heavy favourite should be.

[Shrap]

If Bellew makes it to the final bell he'll be turned into a shell. Usyk is gonna be teeing off on him all night.
