    Gassiev impressed me more than Usyk did last week. I think it's a genuine toss up.

    Gassiev is going to ko Usyk. Usyk will be running for his life, and trying to box.

    Half step behind. Theres a chance Gassiev could fair better at HW than Usyk, even if Usyk does better than Gassiev at CW.
    Also if Usyk wins then Gassiev and Briedis should see whos number 2.

    Not a plausible outcome in the realm of the known universe. Usyk will sink his teeth into him round after after round.

    Total prisoners of the moment but that's what everyone involved with this tournament was banking on. Gassievs performance is fresh in everyone's mind and he is being put over big but do not be shocked when Usyk 9-3's him. Going from a predictable basic 1-2 boxer to a lefty who changes his attacks in accordance with his opponents.

    Write it down, Gassiev UD-12. He looked better tonight than Usyk ever has. I can't believe I'm saying it, but Usyk is like a Duran or a Hagler or Toney... A guy who was built to box. A pure natural.

    Gassiev is going to make Usyk feel, I mean really feel.

    I believe MG walks through Usyks punches, wears out his body, and ko's him late.
