Murat Gassiev vs Erkan Teper 22 July Moscow

NO, and he punches as hard as Chisora

 

Ok. The guy is a butterball at 230lbs with trex arms.

 

He has longer height and reach than Chisora, if Chisora is in HW, Gassiev should in it also.

What a wierd trend, hating on CW and calling them Small just based on eye test.

 

Chisora is more stoutly framed despite being a shorter than average HW. He’s spent his entire career fighting in the 240-260lbs range where Gassiev has spent the majority of his career fighting under the CW limit. Gassiev’s billed height and reach are also clearly embellished. He’s shorter than Usyk who is around 188cm (6’2’’).

 

Usyk is 193cm - 6'3" and Gassiev is little shorter. SO ?

You said size, now you are saying weight ? Why not admit that his size is OK not HW and move on ?

You don't have to be 6"7 to be good at HW, David Haye proved it against 7'0" guy who had Iron chin.

Gassiev hits hard and has a chance at HW. end of the story.

 

193 cm is basically 6’4”. Usyk obviously isn’t that tall. I only brought up height because you’re trying to leverage Gassiev’s falsely billed height stats into an argument that Gassiev is bigger than Chisora which is incorrect. I don’t believe a lack of height in and of itself is going to be why he struggles at HW. It’s going to be because of his relatively small frame and very short reach. Gassiev’s style is very physical and necessitates him being at least on par strength wise with his opponents.

 

Post roids Teper is a nice opponent to look good against. After this I hope Gassiev fights at least twice per year and starts to step up the level of competition.

 

LOL at all of the geniuses who say stuff like "can't wait to see Teper get KO'd" as if the rest of the field aren't enjoying top grade pharma.

That's right. Gassiev is shorter than Usyk, who might be 191cm but he also might be 189cm or so himself. Gassiev can't be over 188cm at the very most.

 

He is probably unaware as he is still studying Fury Wilder footage for excuses

 

Well, if it's for that, fair enough. There are a few of those on my books, too. He does have a punchable face.

Charr is top of that list for me. But I do have a pet peeve for those WBA (regular) imposters.

 

I'm kind of hoping for Helenius to beat up another fat blob in Kownacki again, for a few reasons, but not least of which that funny dance he did after the fight was stopped. I became a fan there and then.

 

Gassiev vs Kownacki would be good fight after he loses again vs Helenius
