    Why? Gassiev would be a great addition to the heavyweight division

    He'll be OK, his team knew that Usyk would be too good, and I liked his smile when it was over ... He's a sportsmen, he'll improve and be back.

    Key difference is Eubank behaves like a twat.

    And, guys, for those who don't know, Usyk was born on exactly the same day (January 17) as Muhammad Ali.

    Usyk's style of throwing dozens of half power
    He won't hurt heavyweights with his fighting style of repeatedly throwing 3-4 pawing punches with little power, and none of the top heavyweights are as clueless as Gassiev moving forward.

    Also for what it's worth, I have no doubt that Wilder and Joshua would decapitate Uysk at this point. Give him 4/5 fights to settle into the division and with Joshua and Wilder a few years older and carrying a bit more wear and tear he's got a chance though.

    Yeah. That would be the question.

    Usyk's stamina and speed were masterclass.

    But it's hard to believe he's ever gotten a KO in his life. Looked more like a strong breeze than punches.

    Yeah, WTF... I'd watch Gassiev again.. just not against Usyk. Horrible style matchup for him. He's still an entertaining fighter against.. well anyone else.

    His footwork does that. Can't punch if you can't set your feet just ask Gassiev.
