    He never stopped coming forward despite getting hit with hard punches throughout the bout. He never stopped trying, and he didn't look for an easy way out.

    Hell of a fight and I give real respect to Dorticos. Best of luck to him moving forward in his career. If he can tighten things up a bit, he can still be in the title picture for a long time.

    His reach and power are true weapons. And he's got a solid jab, too. Just work on making the punches shorter and get the conditioning up.

    Guy has the heart of a fighter.

    gassiev and usyk move up for the tournament. I don't see any reason why he can't win 1 or 2 belts to be honest. him vs bredis would be fun.

    I agree.

    Dorticos is better than I thought he was. He's not young, but he's not too old, either (at least officially).

    Many sluggers have no stomach for taking punishment themselves. Dorticos is different, though. He's got a fighter's heart.

    I would not put him back in the ring too fast, though. He took a beating in the fight. He needs a break.

    He has an amazing chin, he deserves a ton of credit, I think he stood up to those shots through sheer force of will.

    I was stunned that he not only took the punches, but he kept coming forward.

    True respect from me. I am a "come forward" fight fan and Dorticos proved everything to me in this fight.

    Respect.

    Too soon, IMO. I would not put him back in the ring that fast (May). He took some big shots tonight.

    I don't think dorticos will be ready by then after the shots he took in the last 3 rounds.. he needs 6-9 months off for his health.

    Dorticos showed the heart and chin of a world champion in there tonight.

    He definitely has it in him to win a world CW title belt once Usyk inevitably moves up to HW. I expect that Gassiev also moves up to HW.

    but what they could do.. is put bredis vs glowacki or lebedev as the comain event.

    Yeah he showed tremendous heart and chin, went out like a warrior. He has an exciting style and isn't afraid to mix it up, hopefully after a well deserved rest he can recoup and come again.

    Yep.

    I sincerely thought this guy was hype with a soft chin and would go out fast against Gassiev.

    Happy to have been 100% wrong about him. Now I'll follow him and root for him.

    There were a couple of moments in the fight I thought he had Gassiev slightly wobbled, was winning the 11th until he got tagged by some big ones and his tank emptied.
