@BoxingNbt @BoxingKW1988 He looks like he's had a great camp, looks a lot sharper than I've seen him before. Got his weight absolutely spot on, but he's got be good for at least 7lbs between weigh in and fight

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

Things to take into account...
1. punch power
2. no. of fights experience
3. Big fight/stadium experience
4. Quality of opponents
5. Size
6. Stadium support on his side
I seriously can't see Usyk beating Bellew, but still think it will be a hard fight #bellewusyk

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@Redmatty73 @BoxingNbt No not at all, but the way some people go on about him, you would of thought Bellew may as well just stay in his changing room. Usyk is a great boxer, but he isn't perfect, and can be beaten. I hope my fellow countryman beats him. That's all

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

Where do people draw their opinions from? Usyk is a good fighter but he is hardly an established seasoned pro with a 100% KO record. He has the skills to win over 12. Bellew has the power to finish him. It's wrong to not call it a 50/50 #BellewUsyk

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@PulgasBoxeo Why am I a weirdo?? Usyk is a great fighter and has done a lot in a short pro career. 15 fights is early stages. Things like this can make a difference if Bellew can turn it into a dogfight. I could be wrong and TB gets schooled but calling me a weirdo is a bit.......weird, no?

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@BoxingKW1988 I'll be surprised if he isn't at least half a stone over come fight night

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@TheGoonnnn You wanted a bet, just trying to fulfill your request. No worries.

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@BoxingKW1988 Do you think? I reckon Bellew will be coming in well over weight. He looked sharp and light on his toes on the workout. I know Usyk is a great fighter, but I rate Bellew and like to get behind a fellow countryman

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@TheGoonnnn DM me your address then in case I'm wrong.......

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@TheGoonnnn How's it going to get paid? In person?

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@BoxingKW1988 They're the same size now, I think Bellew will come in a lot heavier than Usyk on fight night. Its not just the number of fights, its the type of fights that Bellew has been in which makes him a much more experienced fighter

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@AndyP792 It's the type of fights that Bellew has been in that I was referring to. Bellew has been in a number of dogfights and had to get himself up a number of times. This can make the difference in those later rounds. Usyk is a fantastic fighter, no doubt about it.

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@IanChallis @Stocko3000 @stevenwellings He's a gritty fighter. I know a lot of people don't take to him, but he does the ugly stuff well and can take opponents into his type of fight. We'll see on Saturday

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@SouthpawBoxNews @GeorgeFoster6 @davidcoldwell I'd like to add Enzo Calzaghe to that list with 3 World champions

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@Stocko3000 @stevenwellings Yeah could well be!! I do believe Tony Bellew is very underated for his boxing brain. Usyk is a great fighter, but he's not perfect, Bellew may well find the way to beat him. Wasn't a Bellew fan until he beat Cleverly

CLUES FROM THE AMATEURS?

Looking back at a major victory, and a major defeat, before @Usykaa turned pro

@NewAgeBoxingUK @JamieoneillNSNO @BigLarusso @SauerlandsFace It's a tool to use that is super effective against a southpaw. You can take a southpaw's jab completely out the game if they know they'll be getting a left over it every time its thrown. Again it comes down to who gets their feet right and dominates that outside position

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@NewAgeBoxingUK @JamieoneillNSNO @BigLarusso @SauerlandsFace But an orthodox boxer with a good left hook is a nightmare for a southpaw with a low right hand, no? If Bellew can keep his foot outside Usyk then that left hook becomes a big problem for him

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

@AdamSmithSeaham @TonyBellew I'm jealous should be a cracker. Great undercard too. I think the fight is Bellew's to lose, he has an underated boxing brain and one of the best left hooks in boxing

[oscar phillips @oscarpdone]

Worse thing for a southpaw to go up against is an orthodox with a good left hook. They'll be jockeying for that outer foot position from go. @TonyBellew has the knowledge and power for that game #BellewUsyk
