    Why not? It's the first time we get to see and suss out where Gassiev is truly at is the Heavyweight division, in quite some time. We can truly compare his performance to others. Alongside of that, the undercard is pretty ****ing great.

    Yes, I see DAZN just added it. The YouTube link's also up. Here's hoping this becomes a "thing."

    Honestly I think if Gassiev beats Pulev we're in the same spot. Pulevs sufficently old where people won't know what to make of a dominant victory. Assuming that happens Pulev will be nice name on resume though.

    Pulev has been very low key in Bulgaria. Usually, he promotes his events so much that people believe he is fighting the fights of his life (no matter who he faces). This time - radio silence. I hope this doesn't end super bad as he is getting old. Still - until I don't see them both on the ring - I won't believe it!

    Pulev is geriatric, Gassiev's fights have always been underwhelming to say the least at HW so far. I'll be watching it as a HW freak only, but expecting a pretty dull affair. Hopefully It'll end with Gassiev's left hook to the liver.

    For the undercard, don't recognize most of the names aside from Suslenkov and Ali's grandson.
