This is a 10-2 or 11-1 kind of shellacking and maybe a late round stoppage for Usyk. Bellew looked good against a legless Haye and respect to him for handling him but Usyk isn't Haye.

Bellew is a +525ish dog last I seen. Thats like saying he's got a 16% chance to win which I think is about right. I think this is a 90/10, 80/20 type fight. Don't know that I'd put that in "live dog" territory doe. I think the odds are about right for this fight & I wouldn't consider a 20% to win guy very much of a live dog.
This isn't likely to a very competitive fight & will look like a 80/20 type fight unless Usyk uncharacteristically phones it in or doesn't take Bellew seriously which I think is probably less likely to happen then Bellew's chances to win by a large margin.
I actually strongly lean towards Bellew suffering his 2nd KO loss.Comment

I can see Bellew holding his own for a few rounds, even if he won't have much success landing, but Usyks workrate is insane for a Cruiser and I just don't think Tony will be able to live with the pace and will just start getting picked apart over the middle rounds. Dude's got a big heart though and won't give it up easy - can see his corner throwing it in after 9 or 10.
Usyk is a whole other animal. Respect for going for the big prize with that fight, but I don't see this one ending well for him.
I'm rooting for him hanging them up after this fight cuz he's a good representative/ambassador for boxing in the UK specifically & the world at large & those guys sticking around too many extra fights is a bad look for the sport despite being good for their bank accounts often times.Comment

I'm going for Bellew on this one just because of the Creed movie alone.. I don't think this will be his last fight though unless he gets completely wiped out. It's kind of hard for boxers or any athlete to just quit cold turkey like that.Comment

The boxing world will meltdown if he does.
Little known quote from the book of Revelations :
.. and on the sixth day Tony Bellow did knock out Usyk and become P4P cruiserweight undisputed champion and God said "F* me did he really just do that!" and the world came to an end .

Bellew can punch and I'm not sure Usyk has an iron chin. We all know he has very little chance to win on points but you have to give the man a puncher's chance. There's no pressure on Bellew, nobody expects him to win and he has completely embraced his underdog status. We will see a very confident Bellew who truly believes he can shock the world.
I don't know....but I have a gut feeling the Scouser will land something big and BOOOM...Usyk is down....he's OUT.....AND THE NEW....Comment

Terrible attitude to go into a fight with, it’s kinda like ‘whatever happens I collect my cheque and never fight again’, hardly fighting for pride or passion, pretty much guarantees he losesComment

Yea respect for Bellew in taking on the best guys he can get. I thought he was a KO victim to a washed Haye...f#ck both times lol. Cuz that first time Haye was limping around I thought Haye was close to winning a couple times so I wasn't sold Bellew could beat a healthy washed Haye honestly.
