Usyk v Bellew SSBO 10pm

Blanco100

Jaysus Crolla is some punchbag and Sky trying to make out hes some ring general is gas.

Fair play to Bellew for going after Usyk, he didnt have to. Dont even give him a punchers chance, Usyk has seen off vastly superior company.

Its win win for Eddie Hearn, perfect fight for Bellew to cash out on, big pay day and sows the seeds for Hearn to sell a big bad boogie man from eastern europe as AJs potential cryptonite.

Its a shame though, in another era Usyk would be a serious HW contender but I dont think he fares well in the land of the giants.

Fair write up totally agree

God I hope Usyk wins tonight. I don't want to have to listen to Bellew going on about himself for the next fifty years on Sky. He beat a broken David Haye and the way he goes on you would think he had beaten Rocky himself. All this "He doesn't know what he's getting in with, he's never faced a fighter like me" .. ridiculous given his record.

don't get me wrong, I hugely admire Bellew. But the amount of boll*x he talks makes him unbearable. And he's going to be a fixture at Sky for the foreseeable future. We already have Carl Froch, we don't need another Carl Froch.

He does talk some amount of garbage but fair balls for taking this fight. There was probably more money in handier fights.

This one is for legacy aswell and hes giving it a crack. You can rest safe he wont be beating Usyk. Gasiev, Breidis and possibly even Huck beat Bellew.

Yeah but you don't know what he's facing in Bellew. He's never faced anybody like him before. There's no quit in him... etc etc :P

Here's the twenty minutes of intro. Going to have a shower while it's on.

I really can't get my head around the fact that Tony Bellew has become a big deal.

Eddie Hearn's finest work.

normanoffside

Ok, we have moved to this thread? Right. as said previosuly Usyk outclasses him and grinds him down.

someyoke

Bellew standing stationary in front of ambulance there briefly, hope it's not an omen!

Commanchie

I think Usyk has bellew beaten on his feet by round 8

anthonyjmaher

DAZN commentary saying how "Bellew really deserves this". I don't think that's fair. Why didn't he enter the World Boxing Super Series the same as everybody else. I know that Usyk called him out, but that was just for the profile and the money.

Good chance both come through

anthonyjmaher

Bellew looks very flat footed compared to the movement of Usky, but Usyk is not catching him with much really.

Commanchie

No bellew leading 2 0

normanoffside

2-1 bellew.

normanoffside

Bellew doing better than I thought (obviously)

Berserker

Bellew ahead for me so far and looking very good. What round are people giving Usyk?

anthonyjmaher

DAZN commentary is very poor. Like two lads at a cricket match.

Blanco100

bellew turns his back almost when on backfoot, Ref needs to call him on it

normanoffside

2-2 for me

Won this one anyway

Bellew needs to protect himself more

Too open

Try_harder

Usyk won that one

normanoffside

3-2 Usyk I Guess

titan18

Like the ref would call against a British fighter.


This Sky commentary is awful too. Malignaggi is the voice of reason.

normanoffside

Jesus , Sky have bellew 3 up

Blanco100

how is ref not calling Bellew up on turning his back to shots when hes on backfoot. Theres standing side on and theres taking the mick

Means very little. Its his last fight they will walk him to the belt till the judges cards are read.

The Dagestani Eagle

frochs score hahahahah

jobless

Sky are a joke

Try_harder

Come on Usyk- finish him!

Mike9832

Usyk as an elite heavy looks doubtful

Blanco100

Paulie Maglinaggi the only one talking sense as usual. Sheer amazement at not being outboxed doesnt win you rounds.

Some close rounds though. I have it even at halfway

jimbev

Listening to USA commentary they have it 3 a piece

Blanco100

Sky sports getting the weight problems excuse in early i see.

anthonyjmaher

Gona end up getting chinned in the corner like he did against Stevenson.

Commanchie

4 2 usyk

anthonyjmaher

Oh this is the Ivan Drago moment now, Dave is it?

PLOPS

Froch had Bellew not losing one round? He's an absolute pleb.

Bellew looking tired

Try_harder

Nasty left from Usyk anc its done

Oh god. I don't like Bellew, but I was worried about him there for a second. That look like a serious knock down.
