    Hard to find a punch more money than this right now. He may have the best left hook since Barrera.

    He can throw it to the body. Remember he doubled up on the left hook to the body to stop that Polish guy?

    He will sometimes lead with a straight or overhand right and then come back immediately with a left hook and it flows naturally.

    Remember in the 12th round against Dorticos he slipped a straight right and came back with a perfectly located left hook to the jaw?

    He has so many ways to hurt you with his hook. Its not like he just comes charging in telegraphing this hook and it's easily blocked or countered.

    Trained by Abel Sanchez. Gassiev will destroy a lot of the crap heavyweights out there, including AJ.

    Usyk will beat him to bits when they fight.

    Usyk wins a close decision in that one. Would be the hardest fight of his career.

    I think it would take Usyk to have a lapse in concentration for Gassiev to outbox him & a KO seems unlikely?
    Don't get me wrong ,Gassiev is a very good fighter but he is not on Usyks level...not yet anyway.

    This. Wasn't impressed with Gassiev in the Dorticos fight. That fight proved his power was good, but definitely overrated. I also think Usyk will outbox Gassiev, who has no head movement and telegraphs all of his shots. Gassiev is pretty durable, but I see Usyk landing on him all night.

    Gassiev's left hook is terrific.







    Inoue's left hook is better.

    He did. And once he ate a flush left hook he was done. Legs were noodles after that and then he couldn't survive the round.

    Not hard at all. Wilder's right hand is pretty much money as well.

    Gassbag is a hype. Thats why he is at cruiser and not heavy. Straight female dog tendencies.
    Everybody is afraid of Wilder and thats the honest to God truth. He has the only E.E. fighter worth mentioning, Povetkin, taking dope 2x just to avoid fighting him. So how in the **** does a guy who is starving himself to 200 lbs gonna even contemplate moving up and fighting the Alabama Nightmare?
