    Really tough first defence, credit to Gassiev if picks this calibre of opponent. Not sure this is smart for Glowacki he has had 3 tough fights in a row, especially the Huck and Usyk fights. He was soundly outclassed by Usyk last time out.

    With that being said Glowacki probably deals better with pressure/slugger types in the Gassiev mould. I'm leaning to Gassiev he is fresher and will have learnt a lot from his last fight.

    Thoughts?

    I think Gassiev takes this, his power can hurt Glowacki

    But had Gassiev every caught clean by a puncher? That's gunna be a good question if this was before the Usyk fight j would mean to Glowacki but after getting beaten up by Usyk I will have to lean to Gassiev.

    I think Gassiev wins this ! It will be either a SD or a KO. By taking such a risky fight again Glowacki just shows how it is supposed to be!! **** there must be heavyweights like this too! CW > HW

    Cruiserweight, the division where no one fears no one.

    True, I just think that given how little Lebedev's shots worried Gassiev, he'll be able to take Glowacki's shots as well.

    You kidding right? He ate quite a few clean shots from Lebedev who's a puncher.
    This is a hell of a fight, I like it!

    It's nice isn't it? No guy is trying to sue his promoter who has cancer or thinking retirement after 'winning' a fight and getting gifted 3 belts.

    Lebedev didn't sit down on his punches, he was constantly circling around, but by no means do I think Gassiev has a weak chin I think he proved he isn't packing glass. However Glowacki isn't gunna be moving around much he's coming to slug it out.

    Your still bringing up the Ward fight, get over that man it's over, either he will give Kovalev his rematch or retire in shame.

    Yeah Lebedev tried to box and move with Gassiev coming non stop for 12 rounds, it was scary actually.
    You're right Glowacki will try to slug it out, this fight will be fireworks.

    Best division in boxing, all the top 10 guys mix it up. I wish this was the heavyweight division because with this calibre of fights in the most popular weight division boxing would be back.

    Lebedev is a true warrior but Gassiev was just nonstop, just brute force won him that fight.

    Not to mention Glowacki has been down heavy and gotten back up to win, if he can get Gassiev hurt it will be good to see how Gassiev deals with adversity.

    Lebedev wasn't putting everything on his shots for a lot of the time but he did catch Gassiev with some big ones and Gassiev took them well. Shots that would've dropped or stopped plenty of other fighters.
