    Lebedev has definitely been given the short end of the stick throughout stretches of his career, like quite a few intimidating eastern Europeans really, and unfortunately it's been easier to sweep under the rug due to how little attention the 200lb division gets. It's so chock full of EE fighters with difficult to pronounce surnames that US and UK casual viewers (and even some of the more invested fans) write it off as a wasteland.

    I am feel for that fight. Very feel!

    I guess we are all feel.

    Expecting it to be closer as some here believe. Gassiev's power is real with the skill to deliver it, and Usyk will have to deal with that.
    7-5 kinda fight for Usyk.

    Wouldn't be easy for Usyk and I like the style contrast and it would a great action fight, but I don't give Gassiev a strong chance. I see Briedis as the toughest opponent for Usyk.

    Usyk, I like both, but Usyk has better skills, harder to hit, great footwork. Hate to see them fight each other...........
