    What a naturally gifted, quick learning, hard working BEAST this man is, to get to this level so quickly. He's a special fighter just like Usyk.

    Natural power always is an equaliser.

    If this fight takes place Saturday
    This is Precisely why Usyk is gonna work Gassiev. Did you see how pudgy Gassiev was looking in May before camp. Usyk will make Gassiev look like a rookie

    He's clearly a natural, as too is Usyk - both of them didn't take up boxing until they were 15 and yet they're 2 of the very best in the world. Usyk is already ranked in the Ring Magazine's P4P top 10 P4P. They have him at #10 but he should be higher. I mean they have Spence at #8 but Usyk clearly should be ranked above him. The winner of Usyk vs Gassiev is, at the very least, top 5, IMO. BTW, Spence also took up the sport at 15 and is obviously a natural as well.

    Can't wait for this fight. Getting virtually no press at all in US. Shame, what a great matchup. Hope it is available in America

    Serious question.

    If Usyk/Gassiev/Spence took it up at 15.......

    Why is Joshua, who took it up at 18, given such a hard time?

    This time, Usyk will fight a man as big as him.

    No more size advantage.

    Will Gassiev respect his pitty patt punches ?

    I reckon Usyk's ego trip ends saturday.

    But why does he?

    I see little hate for Spence/Usyk and haven't seen any for Gassiev.

    Shh, we don't want to heap praise on that guy, he's not relevant anymore, doesn't have a fancy undefeated record and he's not even the right color... And he already beat everyone's wet dream Übermensch hero. :lol: Just can't get rid of the ****ing guy. :lol:
