Murat Georgievich Gassiev vs. Einar Otto Vallin & Fatih Keles vs. Khuseyn Baysangurov RBR.

And me this...

 

Highly ranked?

 

Gassiev's amateur career was non-existent. He is not one of those well schooled EE boxers.
This guy should have been fighting 6-7 times a year in his 20s. Instead he wasted his peak days.

 

In what division? Hw or cruser. There was ppl who said he got best pp on Hw? Ok

Murat got short hand and slow legs. That's his biggest defect.
Wallin use this today Perfect
I was thinking that can look like that but Hope/think Murat catch Otto with better shots

That was not easy fight for Otto 2. A special after 8 rounds when Gassiev was more active.

What can I say more. Its looks like Otto can win with many słower, less active dude. He got quiet good chin too. His problem will be fight with same size punchers.

What about Murat? Dont know
He should ask for someone like Kownacki, Chisora where he can show his special power more.
But it is imposible.

And WTH happend to his beard. He looks like burn victim

 

It seems you where right, and then I have to agree with it being a rather strange match making from Gassievs side.

Apparently Otto was offered the fight (from what I assume was Gassievs handlers). He also says, in an interview before the fight, that there's been talks of fighting Gassiev for quite sometime.

Maybe Gassievs handlers knew chanches where slim that he'd get knocked out, and thought it would be enough with one payed of ref to secure a "win".

Very strange match making, very strange card from one of the refs. Or rather: all three must've given Gassiev every close round to come up with 115-113 cards.

 

Give Wallin some credit: he's a better fighter than anyone on Wilder's record other than Fury and Ortiz. He'd probably outbox a lumbering, gassing 280 lbs Zhang and there's something missing with Hrgovic, who Zhang beat up. I wouldn't rule out a Wallin win there either, perhaps by cut TKO.
