    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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah I’ve just stuck €100 separately on Usyk TKO at 15/8 and Usyk 7-12 at 23/10

    Good chance both come through

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

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

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