Sparring Partner of Usyk, AJ, Kabayel, Gassiev Interview

I can't see the video, what was guys name?

Also that sounds about right, Joshua's power seems a bit underrated these days, didn't know Gassiev still threw so hard at heavyweight though.

Also, yeah Kabayel seems to have a style and defense that works great until it suddenly doesn't with him getting hit so much.

 

Not too surprised to be honest! Chris Arreola said Gassiev was the hardest puncher he’s been in the ring with. And he’s fought some guys with good pop. I actually always have said Gassiev just might be the hardest puncher in boxing. DEFINITELY was at his best at cruiser imo

NASTY left to the body

 

Kabayel doesn't get hit much, he looks after himself in the ring and boxes to solid plans every time and he is tough enough that he could be a brawler.... Kabayel literally made a name for himself through sparring. When he was a no name Fury and AJ thought about fighting him but they knew risk reward was way out of proportion.

 

AJ should hit the hardest as he's way bigger than the everyone on this list and also has the best PEDs.
The better comparison is AJ with people his own size, 6'5+.
It's honestly not an amazing thing that any male 6'5 and over 100+kg naturally has big punching power and can KO people quite easily.
Many males that size with a bit of athletic ability will be in that boat.

 

I sparred Jackson Murray a few times when he was still an amateur easily the tallest dude I have been in with he is a southpaw as well so was very awkward. He is a really nice lad and pretty honest.

 

That's awesome.

 

I was very excited by this fight, because it was the first time that hook was really back since the cruiserweight days. I though maybe Murat was finally injury free, confident in his health, and ready to go on another big role.

He's done ****-all since and I guess we can throw in the towel.

 

It´s only the more recent fights that he has show good defense/not been hit much, but don't let that fool you. Zhang catching him clean shows that he still has his old flaws, as shown in several fights:

His recent success makes him look a little better than he actually is. His offense is top notch, and it´s hiding his other flaws.
