Oleksandr Oleksandrovych Usyk vs. Murat Georgievich Gassiyev RBR.

Gassiev too scared to try to win the fight, pathetic

 

No truly elite fighter can be made to look ordinary, simply impossible. If that ever happens he's not nor never could be elite. Unless his career is coming to an end and he's slowerd.. Other than that not an elite fighter

 

Round 8

Usyk is baiting Gassiev with a head-fake and partial upper body lean inside, starting to feint a right jab, then quickly twitching all the way out and using his momentum to circle back with a boomerang left hand on the jaw, roundhouse or uppercut, landing with equal stinging efficacy whichever the manner of delivery. Gassiev is slugging away hard with the lobster-trap hooks at the body, just can't peg Usyk with them. Way too much foot speed, and Gassiev has become snow-blind from all the right jabs in his face.

10-9 Usyk

80-72 Usyk

 

shutout so far

 

Briedis is number 2 cruiserweight for sure

 

Gassiev visibly frustrated..

gassieve body language not good

 

It's starting to look like a foregone conclusion now. Uysk has done enough every single round, staying busy, keeping his feet moving throwing swift and crisp combos. Landed a nice 3/4 punch flurry in the middle of the round. He's really not landing that much, but it's so much more than Gassiev

79-73 Uysk

 

Anything other than a shutout is an incorrect scorecard.

 

It's very difficult to see what Gassiev's game plan is apart from get a KO, but you need to create some kind of opening

 

78-74 Usyk

The look on Gassiev's face says enough, he cannot hit Usyk clean. Very impressive performance if he can continue this... He would make all the heavyweights look silly as well.

Not seeing any of those killer hooks from Gassiev.

 

Was not expecting such a one sided fight.

 

Usyk is awesome but does he have enough power for 200+? That's the only issue, but a big one. He MUST make AJ, Wilder respect his power, these are much bigger man. Otherwise, he's the man at CW. 7-1
