In a recent live DAZN Boxing Show, the popular Liverpudlian admits he is finding it extremely tough to pick a winner and says he will likely change his mind 100 times between now and the first bell. However, he is favouring the Nottingham man to have the slight edge:
“This is one of the closest 50-50 fights I’ve ever had to call. I’m struggling to name the winner and I think this is going to come down to who has the most left. Both men have had some really hard nights, some outstanding fights, and believe me, that always catches up with you, so this is all about who is the fresher fighter,” Bellew said on a DAZN Boxing Show during the week.
“Wood was superb in the second meeting with Lara, and he showed he can still stick to a plan, but will he be able to do that against Warrington when the crowd is urging both men to just go for it?
“Ask me who’ll win this fight as many times as you want in between now and the first bell and there’s an excellent chance you’ll get a different answer every time. That’s how close this fight is. As it stands, I just think Wood has a little more left and that’ll be enough to get him over the line in a fight that will be tense throughout.”
