Nah man, that was not a savage beating, Bellew was even up on the judges cards before he got caught. If he could have kept that up for another few rounds, he may have pulled it off.

To me it just looked like Usyk taking his time. Bellew may have been winning rounds, but Usyk was quite clearly superior and doing what he wanted when he wanted. He wasn’t concerned or worried and once he knew Bellew was ready, he turned the dial from watch to kill. The precision and ease of which he beat him in was inevitable.

Usyk was nothing short of a predator in that fight. Took away his power, then the rest of his tools, then wore him out, and then had his meal exactly when he wanted to.

I agree with your assessment.

To ****e things up, though, what would a four-round bout between the two look like? All action? I bet it would be explosive.

Would never happen, Usyk is too disciplined. Make no mistake if Usyk plants his feet though...in any case Usyk would just be giving Bellew a chance to knock him out.

(Usyk could be so much better with Anatoly Lomachenko , he had him for the Gassiec fight and we saw how that went. The Breidis fight I'm pretty sure he didn't have Anatoly)

Yeah, I wish he had Anatoly full-tim as well. That guy is amazing.
