Comments Thread For: David Haye: Bellew's Left Hook Can Turn The Tide With Usyk

[_Rexy_]

It seems Ward has never seen Usyk fight. Plus he said "I have to see more of Usyk". Come on Ward. He has 400 amateur fights, Olympic Gold medalist, Undisputed World Champ and Ward still hasn't saw enough of Usyk ?

Get even give your opinion if you haven’t seen the guys work?

... Ward has seen enough of Usyk, I guess... But, at some point, Ward was presented the possibility to fight Bellew (which I guess he didn't forget)...

[MDPopescu]

Former two division world champion David Haye is in agreement with some of the recent statements from other fighters, that Tony Bellew must use his left hook to overcome the massive odds on Saturday night. Bellew will attempt to pull off a major upset when he challenges Olympic gold medal winner Oleksandr Usyk for the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF cruiserweight titles at the Manchester Arena.

Reminds me of some resident fight genius here pointing out before Canelo faced Floyd, that all Canelo needed to do to win was land some big right hands over the top.

though I'm not saying it wasn't true

... Andre Ward's prediction for Oleksandr Usyk v Tony Bellew: "I'mma go with Bellew. I know everybody's writing Bellew off, but how many times have they done that? I'mma go with the intangibles on this one."

They always downplay the eastern euros and pick against them

as I said above: at some point, Ward was presented with the possibility to fight Bellew... but now Ward has no prospects whatsoever in getting that big UK money again...

You ain't wrong. I actually had to go through his fight footage to check if my memory was that bad, cos I never recalled it being anything particularly special. It turns out he has had moderate success with it against C listers who are already on their last legs, but I doubt Usyk is quivering in his boots.

I did find this gem that someone has loving compiled though...

He knocked Makabu out cold with it

[hugh grant]

Even after the first ha ye v belle w fight I didn't even realise haye thought belle w hit hard or that at any point he hurt haye.? That's how good poker faced boxers are.y
I just thought hate hurt his leg.

He knocked Makabu out cold with it

Nah... he battered Makabu with about 30 unanswered shots before the dude went down. Just teed off on him on the ropes till his legs started to give and the ref jumped in. Most of the guys he stopped with the hook he actually ground down first until they weren't really defending any more - it ain't really a one hitter quitter, which is probably what he'll need against Usyk.



Final stanza's around the 16:00 mark in replay.

Bellew to win this as before
