    Whatever ones opinion of a fighters personality, some of the comments above are all that's wrong with social media and fight fans in general. Bellew is well past he's prime, beaten fair and square but fair balls for taking on the challenge


    The problem is not with Bellew not being brave or being a good fight or not having balls. The problem is Bellew has been sh1ting on the last year like he is a boxing legend, when the only person he has beaten is a crippled David Haye.

    Glad I didnt pay for that. An undercard that would look average on regular Sky, it was a complete cash grab. F*cking Dave Allen wobbling about against some unknown at 6 days notice on every PPV. Scott Cardle must have some incriminating evidence on Eddie h for all the gigs he gets.

    Plus I got a german stream so didnt have to listen to Froch.

    Moaning aside, if Eddie had touched Tonys head would it have been a DQ? Obviously he wasnt getting up, but hypothetically...

    I agree Awec. I think in UFC Rogan doesn't do it anymore. Since Overeem Stipe.

    Sh1te talk is all part of the game& sells fights(just look at c MC g) my objection is people clearly relishing a fighters downfall to a younger better fighter &subsequent concussion with such glee

    In fairness to him he does take the mick out of himself from time to time, he said it many times in the build up that Usyk is levels above him. Said same about Haye.

    Eddie would have needed a forklift to get that corpse upright after that knockdown.

    Does anybody think Bellew looked a bit flabby ?

    I'd say so, commentator teeing Paulie up saying you know what it's like to shock the world of boxing as the older boxer like you did against Senchenko and Froch jumps in with some bollocks of boxing being great as it's a two horse race.

    He's not talking to you ya clown. Kinda felt like Froch and Paulie couldn't hear each other or decided to ignore each other!
    Pretty sure Froch spoke about the two horse race when Smith asked him about beating Bute so you owe poor Carl a massive apology.

    On the fight I enjoyed it. Bellew started well but Usyk from about round six took complete control. Interesting to see which heavyweight will be thrown to Usyk next. If Joshua- Wilder gets made for April I reckon Whyte could get the gig.

    I don't think Bellew was past his prime, he just ran out of steam because Usyk is just so fleet footed and can land at awkward angles. He also judges distance perfectly. The only thing he lacks is knock out power, against the bigger lads, who are elite heavyweights, that will be undoing, I think. He would have a good chance against the likes of Whyte, Chisora and Parker. No doubt if he does move up, Hearn will match him with one of these guys to start with.

    Ashamed to say it but part of me is sad we will never get to see the circus that would have been Fury v Bellew. I usually hate the play acting but that would have been gas.
