    Gassiev is only 26.

    Beterbiev is definitely much better than Gassiev, so yes, this win would be much more important than Usyk beating Gassiev.

    Don't forget that Gassiev was half the age of Lebedev and Lebedev is a rough mother****er that was ready for a war

    A young fresh Lebedev would've tore Gassiev a new one.

    I think Gassiev is a complete ****ing beast, even more so than Beterbiev, Beterbiev can be tagged and hurt, Gassiev just met his achilles and everyones achilles really in Usyk. Usyk's legs again made a fantastic fighter look like a pudding as you say. Im saying Usyk is a better win, the manor as well with which he done it. Gvozdyk cant look better than Usyk in this fight imo Liq, if you get me, even before it starts as Gassiev is better

    Beterbiev seems a bit more skilled than the Russian Arthur Abraham.

    I prefer Beterbiev but I think Gassiev is the better win.
    For me Beterbiev is a bit fragile, Gassiev isn't.
    Gassiev isn't as polished a fighter imo but I think that Beterbiev is easier to beat based on that mandible, which I don't think is bad, just not as good as Gassiev's. Also...
    Gassiev's résumé > Beterbiev's.

    He "probably" knocks out anyone at 175 out. I wouldn't pick any of the top 5 against him.

    Thank you. A very balanced, rational & reasonable response.. I'd be very interested to know how u calculated that on though hun? Especially considering AB is 34 & this will be on only his fourth fight in nearly 3 whole years.. 10 times? Did you add his amateur career to his pro one & divide it by your 'Andrew Tabiti is the next big thing' posts?
