Comments Thread For: Photos: Oleksandr Usyk Grinds in Manchester For Bellew Bout

[Citizen Koba]

There are some good odds around for the this fight. The two that take my fancy are:

Usyk via decision or technical decision 6/4

Bellew’s corner to throw in the towel 9/1

That said I never win, so lump your money on Bellew.

I might put a few bob on Tony's corner throwing it in, cos that's exactly what I'm predicting. Bellew's got a lot of heart and he ain't gonna want to lay down, but I suspect by the championship rounds he's gonna be dead on his feet from accumulated punches and exhaustion.

Exactly, boiling down to Cruiser for the first time in a few years too. Plus with retirement on the cards I can see his coach wanting to save him, especially if he’s 7 or 8 rounds down on the cards and getting tagged constantly.

Again, exactly what I envisage. Tony's gonna make it look kinda competitive for the the first 3 or 4 I think and might even snatch a couple, but by the halfway point the tide will have turned inexorably. Honestly even 18 months ago Tony was struggling to carry on throwing punches against a half crippled Haye who was barely firing back and the dude's nearly 36 now... not to mention that as you say, going back down in weight rarely ends well.

I agree. The Haye wins won't look as meaningful after Usyk makes him look silly.

Bellew is going to be made to look ******. Then everyone will remember just how awful the dude is.

Bellew is a decent technical boxer with good power and he's very cagey but Usyk should be too good if he doesn't let Bellend bull**** his way into his head and give him too much respect and then be forced into catch-up and get counter-punched, Bellend isn't Adonis Stevenson though when it comes to power and speed, Usyk will win again for Ukraine, feck Bellend who cares about Liverpool there are ****holes everywhere, people have had it far tougher than him

Usyk will attack the body imo

I want to see Usyk grow his Scythian warrior haircut back and do that traditional bouncy peasant dance
