Since Gassiev sorry most likely does have and did had more power than bunch of worshiped old times HW boxers, he might had maybe even stopped Wilder. Why not? Usyk had vs Gassiev these advantages: 1. a bit better gas tank 2. considerably more sharp 3. better agility. 4. more speed 5. considerably more experience and sorry, vs elite ppl in am ranks. Usyk had made him work a lot and with intense pace cos he then was in prime shape. Wilder is predictable lad. One handed ( almost ). For prime shape Gassiev it might be easier to adapt than for fight vs Parker, A.J, Briedis, Arreola etc boxers. I don't know. Who will land, will won this one. No judges cards here.
Considering Wilder has struggled, and gone late with very limited fighters, you should definitely doubt.
Wilder would be a slight favorite. His power would probably bail him out. Gassiev doesn't have the best footwork or head movement.
I need to see more from Gassiev at heavyweight before I can make any judgement of him matching up with any of the top heavies.
I agree but he does have 2 hands to watch for and if opponent is very predictable? It does not look good. I suspect vs Parker or A.J he might struggle more. I do not know.
Like I said, Szplika had his moments, but life and death? LOL Wilder wasn't dropped, didn't need to dig deep Ala Fraizer/Ali. Wasn't even a back and forth battle like Joshua/ Vlad. Stop your over the top hate and speak objectively. Unless someone needs to explain the term " life and death" to you. Is that what's going on? You don't understand what you're saying? Tell you what. Watch Corrales/Castillo 1, then watch Gatti/Ward 1. After you do that, watch Wilder/Szplitka. Then come back here and talk about life and death. LOL
Sounds like you're getting into semantics over how you personally define a phrase. Fact is, Szpilka caused Wilder a ton of issues, and many had him ahead at the time of the stoppage. Sorry if that bothers you, but you're going to have to accept it.
Gassiev does not box like Spilka, this one at first here. I really suspect a lot of lads here did not had saw Spilka at all here.
The fight doesn't bother me one bit. But when guys, like you, spread misinformation about a fight or fighter, I do have a problem with it and I will question it. Sorry If that bothers you, you're going to just have to accept it. By the way, something else you're going to need to accept. Wilder was ahead on all the real judges score cards when he decapitated Szpilka. LOL
How is that spreading misinformation? Many people saw the fight going the exact same way, obviously fanboys like yourself have a hard time accepting that. Could care less what the judges had it, so judging is fool proof and not subject to criticism? You're making a fool out of yourself. Wilder struggled with a 20/1 underdog with an abysmal glass chin lmao.
Yeah, Wilder struggled, but it wasn’t a life or death battle. To hear you say it, it made the Rocky 1 fight look like a cake walk. LOL
Wilder would never fight Gassiev for starters as he can punch and never been in ring with someone who carries anywhere near his power. Easy KO win by Gassiev in the first 3 rounds.
He weighs more than Wilder usually does, so that point is moot. If you said he's not used to heavyweight power you'd have a point though.
