About 65/35 odds in Gassiev's favor I figure. Both huge punchers, but Gassiev has already shown to be able to dispose of top class opposition.
Gassiev looks very comfortable and patient going foward, dorticos very dangerous and speedy, but will punch himself out I feel, trying to stop Murat early. Thats my prediction.
This is one of the best fights in boxing today. And I love both guys. I wouldn't root for either guy and may the best man win. Gassiev who is disciplined and throws those short hard shots. Dorticos and his well schooled jab and big right hand. Great fight. The winner could even become pfp ranked in my book. I can't pick a winner.
I think it should be a close fight. Maybe like 60/40 Gassiev. But Dorticos will try his best, no doubt about it... I expect it to be an entertaining and interesting fight!
I think this fight is going to be the perfect one for the neutral viewer. I would say it's 55-45 or maybe 60-40 for Gassiev because he is very durable and his stamina is pretty good. I am not so sure what kind of tactic will Dorticos decide to use, but trying to go to war with Gassiev would be his best solution. Can't see Dorticos getting a decision.
Both awesome fighters. It's an on-paper FOTY/KOTY sort of bout. I've leaned slightly to Dorticos since the matchup became apparent.
Too soon for Gassiev, he barely beat a faded Lebedev. Dorticos will box his ears off, probably stop him late.
Great fight. Really really excited for this, like many other posters I have this about 55/45 in favour of gassiev. Can gassiev take Dorticos ridiculous power? And vice versa, very interesting!
