Good Luck Tony Bellew!

[edge]

Good luck to him nothing but respect for bellew, has given me s few good night's entertainment.
Wasn't really thinking he could win this one, but starting to believe he might shock us all again 100 % got my full support hope he does it .

Like I said I’d suggest it’s because he’s doing colour commentary or simply commentating , the rest of it is how he speaks . I think it’s like when you speak a foreign language , speak to someone from overseas or even speak to somebody from out of town your delivery changes . When I was away from home for a bit with non scousers my accent mellowed a little because you slow down the way to speak so they can understand you , when you’re with a load of scousers it flows a lot faster .

I think people can accuse bellew of a lot but faking his accent is a new one on me if I’m honest .

Can vouch for this. My scouse accent only really 'came out' in my early 20's when I started a job with a group of lads who had really thick/harsh accents. It definitely rubs off on you, particularly after 7 years in that environment.

Mate we all backed him first Haye fight and went crazy for the result as it just topped off the weekend . The second Haye fight I felt was easy money well easier at least as I couldn’t see Haye improving , whatever I think I feel I owe him at least a few bob on this one .

Yep i had 100 on him in first fight! CAnt back out now can ya

I know i was agreeing with you mate.

And agreed Flores was a joke, always has been.

He needs to get inside on Usky, rough him up and get him to engage. Easy for me to say ino!.

Usky likes to stay on the outside and sort of pity pats with his shots, albiet it with a bit of power but nothing to worry about too much, its the volume he throws which is the issue.

If Bellew get distrupt his rhythm, drag him into a fight and get him engaging hes got every chance. You dont hook with a hooker.

How well schooled Usky is though i think he will have some difficulty dragging him into it, but its been done before. Beredis dragged him into a dog fight.

That’s a well thought out post.... but how do you think he will get on against Usyk

I think that second paragraph is a big statement on Holyfield and Haye have won the heavyweight title after winning a cruiserweight title and it’s been around a long time . I do think if he beats bellew and steps up he’ll be in the reckoning but there are some decent heavyweights out there .

I do agree how tough it’ll be for bellew though .

That's fair, but his record at cruiser weight is better than Hayes and comparable to Hollyfield. Natural big guy etc. We will see. If he gets past Bellew I think he's competitive with all but Joshua. Not saying he beats everyone of them, but a case can be made.Take Wilder, he has far more power, but Usyk has far better technique and speed.

If im being completely honest Usyk trumps Tony in every department bar power, and possibly the jab. I'd say apart from the obvious left hook Tonys jab is his best weapon.

The smart money would be on Usyk points and i wouldnt be supried to see a late stoppage due to accumulation of punches, Usyks footwork and ability to get in and out whilst throwing a ridiculous amount of punches for his size makes him a absoloutle nightmare for anyone, but i actually think he will fare better (if possible) at HW where his attributes will be enhanced againts the slower big men.

Everythings pointing at a win for Usyk, but theres just something telling me that Bellews going to do it, cant put my finger on it.

F it...... Bellew stopage after 8!

Usyk is Joshuas worst nightmare.

Looks like i need one for your obvious lack of it.

You made the point. No need to get upset.

Yo mcbainzzzzzzzz how are you doing today buddy.

Only smiling over here pal.

Someone on here posted earlier that he has a 'punchers chance'. He does have a better punch and at this weight, I think it is a decent chance. The first fight against Haye, I thought he had taken too much on but he showed us then and I think he has a fair chance now, even against a good opponent.

 

[Ivo]

This usyk looks the business tbh. Quite a likeable character too

 

[wainy]

Think Usyk will be a level above Tony tonight but would love for him to do it and make himself a legend. 6/1 Just to win on sky bet as well so that's worth a few quid as well.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Agree with that, and that's what I do, if we're working with a load of wools I'll talk a bit slower partly out of courtesy but mainly because their thick heads can't process to many words at a time

lol
