    Is Usyk a true lefty.. he doesn't fight like one. could explain his lack of pop.

    I went with Gassiev, errr well, what can I say? Completely one sided, not remotely competitive, I'm so disappointed in the fight itself, not Usyks faults he was exceptional.

    Usyk boxed beautifully, he was the total master but Gassiev did next to nothing, wtf have they been working on in the gym?

    Yes, Usyk's game plan, talent and boxing ability made it ridiculously difficult for Gassiev but surely they had a plan B? Plan C?

    Actually where the hell was Plan A?

    Congratulations to Usyk, a exceptional performance and worthy winner.

    However, I do find Usyk's stamina to be suspect. In the middle rounds he looked like he was slowing down, but Gassiev still couldn't do anything.

    He had no problem with the super heavies in the WSB. Like with Lomachenko, those feeling shots give the impression of no power. There are hard shots when necessary. I have always said that Usyk would do better against the bigger guys. Gassiev is a 6'4 drained down heavyweight so I knew he wouldn't be too much trouble. A third fight against Beterbiev though, I wouldn't know who to pick. Usyk clowns on the likes of Joshua.

    I did predict a smooth night for him - but i meant, you know, relatively. That was absurd.

    He's young and can be in many a good fight going forward he just wasn't able to deal with the frightening technical ability of Usyk who looks a special, special talent.

    Complete masterclass by Usyk.

    Any rematch would be utterly, utterly pointless.
