    If they're interested in moving up to HW, they should have it in the UK.

    It's where the contenders appear to be setting up camp....

    That isn't a bad idea, actually. Neutral site, like Jeddah would've been...although from what I hear both camps are digging in their heels in the negotiations to push for Russia or Ukraine. :nusenuse:

    There's really no point IMO at this point having the super middleweight final on a separate card. That one is now such a diminished event if Groves is out (and was minuscule in comparison with the cruiser finals anyway) they should really just bundle it onto the undercard and have it all be one show.

    In fact, if Eubank vs. Smith ends up a standalone event and not part of the Usyk vs. Gassiev bill I'm probably going to plan on missing it.

    I think Usyk beats the Gasman, but rather close on points and not without some awkward moments.

    Usyk should win on points, unless Putin pays the judges off.................

    Yes. On top of that it would be good for both fighters to build their profiles in the UK as they are going up to HW afterwards. The HW money is in the UK for sure.

    I believe (at least) in the last fight Usyk(vs Briedis) was on cocaine(too many times he was blowing his nose like Tyson against Klitshko, and after that Tyson was banned because of cocaine doping).If someone can take the cocaine from Usyk, he wouldn't be so energetic, jumping like dancer all 12 rounds.That would be a problem for Usyk.
    My prediction: COCUsyk vs Gassiev - win for COCUsyk by points or knockout in last rounds, in which he will be jumping like it's 1st round for him.
    Usyk vs Gassiev - win for Gassiev with knockout in 9-12 rounds, when Usyk wouldn't be so energetic and his main advantage, his tireless moving and jumping will be gone.

    Surprisingly one-sided results for a single outcome.

    30-5-1 Usyk, zero votes for Usyk by stoppage. 5x as many for "Usyk on points" as for all other results combined.

    I’d like Gassiev to win cause he’s hotter, and I believe he could. But the brain says Usyk

    Hoping for Gassiev to win. Usyk surprised me having such difficulty with Breidis, of whom I think Gassiev dominates. Still, too close to call with Usyk’s good movement and reflexes.

    I'm going to buck the odds on this one and say Gassiev stops Usyk. I don't think Usyk has the chin and Gassiev will expose this.

    Gassiev to win this via UD.

    I think his heavy hands wear Usyk down and he dominates in the later rounds to get the UD. The first 5-6 rounds will be even.
