    Question for everyone;

    Who wins a rematch and why? 

    Both got reasons to worry and be massively confident.

    Like the pundits said afterwards, Fury only gets better and at 33 I don't think Wilder can change enough.  The only way Wilder wins is if Fury get over confident. Despite the gulf in class, that right hand is an equaliser.

    The best thing about this fight is it proves Fury is back as a serious and credible contender

    The big difference between this and the Wlad fight is that Wlad fought not to lose in front on a notoriously biased German promotion, so even a dull jab fest normally saw him though.  Here Wilder wants to takes Fury's head off and he might get made to look a little silly early on, but he will catch him as Fury slows down in the mid to late rounds and I think it's all over at that point.  As gangly and wild as Wilder is, once he has someone hurt its game over. The punches from he knees might be telegraphed, but when you're semi unconscious it doesn't matter a jot!

    I'm a Bellew fan too and don't give him more than a punchers chance BUT...

    Usyk is an immense fighter. He's got a solid jab, his footwork is A*, he fires in from so many angles, he has more movement in his shoulders than Bellew has with his head! He sets traps when he finishes a goading attack. However some of his attributes are being played up. He isn't a massive puncher. So providing Bellew can see the shots coming and can control the distance then he should be able to take them on the chin all night. And Usyk can be hit. Once he softens you up and steps in, he admires his own work a bit. He's been hit a few times in previous fights by going into his routine and a wild swing has hit him. He can be hit. He has lost rounds too. He doesn't instantly find his flow.

    Bellew needs to control the range. He needs to force Usyk to respect his power at every opportunity. Usyk is supremely confident. He's an arrogant fighter who completely believes he's the best boxer above light heavyweight. And he probably is. If Bellew can take away his rhythm and hit him hard then it just might distract Usyk long enough to land a real KO shot. 

    But Usyk has fought the elite and they couldn't do it. I don't think Bellew is good enough either but Usyk isn't invincible and Bellew will have the script. 

    Usyk seems like a top bloke too. Daft as owt. 

    I'm going Usyk with a points win and maybe a knockdown. A Bellew win by KO is more likely than Leicester winning the PL though.  

    I don't believe Usyk will have it all his own way. 

    Pretty much sums my thoughts and prediction up perfectly.  Well played sir.

    I saw the undercard but missed the main fight. 

    Lewis Ritson lost last night. Went against the script. 

    Wasn't he 44-1 on to win, massive upset if that's the case.
