    If the Usyk will be in the same form as with Głowacki and use the same strategy, I think he will surely win. Gassiev just will not be able to catch him up during the whole fight, and will "eat" all the blows from Usyk. But if Usyk lost speed (by age or something else), and in fight he will be the same as with Breedis, Gassiev will have a good chance.

    I hope these two bums knock each other out at the same time. The unfortunate part is that Usuk is a weak 6'3" , muscle bound slapper and the Gassass is an uncoordinated sloppy punch throwing bar brawler that got lucky a few times.
    No wonder you guys champion this bum division, you all must be bums too.

    Dude don't be like that. You for instance are not a fan of American fighters , so why bash a guy if he does not like guys that are not in his preference?

    Usyk isnt really all that slick. His advantage has been his size over mostly everyone. His boxing skills are pretty overrated by a lot of guys on this board. He’s no Tyso Fury.

    Gassiev won't land enough hard telling blows to knock out Usyk but he may knock him down.

    Think Gassiev will land enough, I know styles aren't too similar but Breidis was able to clip Usyk fairly often especially in the first half of the fight. Usyk has a different skill set/style to anyone in the division so it may take a couple of rounds to get going but I see it going to a close point decision, could be a rematch at HW

    Really enjoy watching both guys though, gonna be a helluva fight !

    No I don’t given the circumstances. I need to see what Fury looks like. Long layoffs have effects.

    at last, a unification, a contest of elitedom. Not quite a superfight, but the next title one will be whoever steps up for a HW title.

    unification is not superfight. superfight is like 2 possible ATGs/HoFers candidates. Superfight is what comes next when 2 elites have got as far as they can in their divisions, it transcends a fight.

    A superfight transcends title fights, the boxing organisations become irrelevant in them. like Hagler-Leonard, you know?

    dont get me wrong though, two elites going H2H is a special fight.


    now the next step (eg 2Slyk vs Joshua) would be a superfight.

    Genuine superfights shouldnt happen more than a couple times a year. The probable one this year will canelo GGG, an interdivisional top dog clash, with one of these guys probably going on to HoF status.
