    Usyk seems class, both as a boxer and as a guy

    Shouldn’t interview fighters when they get beat like that. Bellew clearly hasn’t fully recovered yet, repeating himself, mumbling, and getting confused with Hearn and Usyk.

    Can’t believe they had Usyk down, that’s criminal, I had him 3 up, at worst 2. Thank * he took it out the judges’ hands.

    Can see Usyk going up and giving them all sorts of problems. His footwork and movement is * world class. Bellew’s best weapon, the left hook, didn’t land once. Usyk nullified it with his feet.

    Good watch, Usyk just wore him down and outclassed Bellew.

    Usyk is on another planet and will be good to see in the heavyweight division!

    The guy seems to be really good,you think moving up a weight might go against him?

    Nah. His movement is on another level. The amount of times Bellew looked almost behind him, to the left .. cos he didn’t have a clue how Usyk was standing there was brilliant. His footwork totally bamboozled him.
    Against say someone like AJ for example who’s so stiff and rigid, Usyk would cause all sorts of problems.

    Usyk will be right in the mix early at heavyweight. He won’t even need to put on much weight.

    He fought at super heavyweight in the amateurs, so he can do the weight no problem. But if I were him I wouldn't put too much weight on, incase it hinders his movement.
    He moves like a light heavy, so fast. The speed and angles he creates will cause havoc with the big boys, they’ll no catch him. The hardest fight for him will be a fit Fury

    Great KO, I was getting worried there at the start but Usyk often starts slow and then takes over. He beat everyone at cruiserweight now, his resume is brilliant. I'd like to see him fight someone like Whyte first before going in there with AJ when he moves up to heavyweight.
