Wilder`s reach would be too much for Gasiev he doesn`t have the fundamentals or speeed to get inside and land his shots before getting caught by Wilder, he`s never fought a fighter as tall or as long or as powerful as Wilder, he`d be destroyed.
If Gassiev has an iron chin, Wilder by decision and if not, Wilder by KO. But Wilder's mental state is uncertain and it may be a lot worse if Fury demolishes him again.
Wilder went life and death with Szpilka, who is smaller than Gassiev. Special ed teacher Molina has no speed, is the same height, and he nailed Wilder with a left hook, a punch Gassiev loves to land. This content is protected
Some cruisers (and this guy is a very small cruiser) are very durable: [url]https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/19825[/url] Gassiev was a big cruiser and fights at 230-235 lbs at HW. If he has an iron chin and pushes Wilder onto the back foot where his power isn't as great, he could well go the distance. I wouldn't bet on it but I wouldn't rule it out either.
Stop over exaggerating. Life and death with Szpilka? Stupid assessment of the fight. Szpilka had a few moments, but never had Wilder in serious trouble like Ortiz did. Not even close.
I don't think Szpilka is smaller than Gassiev. They are basically the same height, or Szpilka may be a bit taller (Gassiev overlisted), and Gassiev looks big at cruiserweight and fat at heavyweight. He looks stocky but is light, that's the sign of someone who's not a natural at the weight. Gassiev is definitely a cruiserweight. Wilder would finish him off, no doubt.
He was outboxing him, contrary to what the biased clown Farhood had it. Go look at the RBR on here. Myself, @IntentionalButt and others Szpilka slightly ahead at the time of the stoppage.
