    He does , but not as his official trainer and only in case where Usyk and Loma are in the same camp. But yeah he is not his main official coach..

    You guys are going to be amazed how comfortably Usyk takes this. Look at the issues the last south paw Thomas gave Gassiev and Usyk is light years ahead of him in every department. Dorticos also took his power just fine until the last round and Usyk has better defense and chin than him.

    If he can take Medzhidov's power who was the hardest hitter in amateur ranks, according to Joshua and Usyk himself than he can take Gasiev's power as well.

    IF people are considering Gassiev any better than Briedis.....why are people predicting Usyk will win?

    If Gassiev is better than Briedis, he wins.

    Yeah, he'll definitely fight more like he did against Lebedev than he did against Dorticos. But - he's no more likely to win fighting like he did against Lebedev than like did against Dorticos. The bridge is Wlodarczyk. How much did he have left? I always considered him smart, hard to pressure. What kind of performance was that? We shall see, that's the great thing about it, I can't wait.

    Agreed but most of Usyks detractor's have no clue who Medzhidov is despite him winning another WC's last summer.

    Gassiev is a handsome man, it's the year of the Russian neck beards.
