Gassiev vs Glowacki in the works

And watching that fight again.. Lebedev is one hell of a tough SOB.

Yeah I said at the time that Lebedev wasn't sitting down on his shots as much as I would've liked him to, but the way Gassiev reacted to the ones he did get caught with and the discernable lack of effect they had on him proved he has a solid chin at the very least. I don't think a fighter would necessarily have to be chinny to hit the canvas from shots like that from a puncher like Lebedev. But personally I would've liked to have seen Lebedev sit down on more of them and target the body with heavy straight lefts more than he did too.

Gassiev vs Glowacki is yet another great matchup in the CW division and both of them will be throwing plenty of heavy leather. But I lean towards Gassiev by stoppage. But the CW division is so stacked and full of dangermen and big punchers that anything can happen and it's going to be hard to predict the outcome of some of these matchups.

 

Gassiev is pretty crude but he's a natural fighter and puncher IMO. He's only been boxing about 8 years. He took up the sport aged 15 and I never would've guessed that from watching him fight. Even going back to when I first became aware of him, which was probably about 3 or 4 years ago, I never would've thought that. He's crude but he doesn't look any cruder than many other come forward bangers who are way more accomplished than him and have been boxing twice the amount of time he has.

I can see Glowacki's boxing ability causing him problems too. But will Glowacki be able to avoid getting worn down by Gassiev's power and pressure or clipped with something big. Easier said than done against someone who wields the kind of power in either fist Gassiev has.

 

Lebedev is as fresh as Glowacki but I think he's still a better than him, a better boxer, and I'd still favour him to beat him too. But that doesn't mean Glowacki won't beat Gassiev of course.

Yeah I agree about Usyk.

Briedis vs Gassiev would be great as too would either of them vs Dorticos. Gassiev vs Kudryashov would be a fantastic matchup too. Bombs away.

 

Yeah I agree with all of that. I love Lebedev and I've been a fan of his for a long time.
