    Since I predicted Afolabi would KO Chakhkiev, it wasn't shocking in the least to me.:deal

    Nor was it shocking to anyone who knows s*** about boxing, which I'm assuming you don't.:deal

    Afolabi sparred with Wlad. So Gassiev hit him harder than Wlad? He's got to be out of his mind.

    Compelling evidence.

    I think he unmistakably has big power, especially with his left rips downstairs. But then, so does Spike O'Sullivan, and that alone doesn't make you a complete or world-beating fighter. Shutting out Abdoul is no small feat, so Gassiev can box some, but we still have yet to see him tested and really show multidimensionality. All we can say for now is that signs point to "he can really crack".

    I never considered him one of the division's elite bangers at first but he's changing my mind about that. :yep

    He also praised Kudryashov, yeah.

    I just shot him a message asking him to rank all three.
