    I miss Gassiev, hopefully he'll be back soon. Heard about April comeback.

    He also has surprisingly lot of instagram followers, same amount as Dillian "I'm the A-side" Whyte. Although some Russian fighters like Rostislav Plechko have even more even though he hasn't done anything yet lol (at least in the pros).

    Me too, beastly fighter and an absolute gent and class act out of the ring.

    lol I didn't know that, I'm not really sold on Plechko, looks powerful but other than that I'm not impressed by what I've seen so far.

    He's probably that type who looks good on the heavy bag but looks like garbage when steps in with a live body. I believe Kevin Johnson does a number on him.

    Certain guys will make Ortiz look good. The majority of ranked guys will do that. Usyk isn't one of them . I don't think Ortiz does good with guys who move, Usyk should get a UD win while Ortiz chases him for 12 rounds not setting up his left against another southpaw who's much faster and unpredictable and will keep a high pace with either making Ortiz punch a lot or move a lot, maybe both ? Ortiz will slow mid rounds in this one.

    He looks wide open for a counter when he attacks to me and I don't think he's going to be able to sustain that furious pace of his for many rounds either.

    Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Johnson was able to slip, slide, parry and block most of his shots for the first 4 or 5 rounds and then took him out of there after he's shot his bolt.
