    My guess is Usyk by decision. Usyk's speed and mobility would probably keep him out of serious trouble.

    I will never not upvote/like this reference.

    RE Thread: I think Usyk outclasses whomever happens to make the final. I don't think Gassiev beating Dorticos is a sure thing though. The Cuban has good skills and heavy hands.

    It's phucked that Usyk, the 1 seed has to fight Bredis that is a very tough fight.

    Usyk will show you guys that Briedis is not the huge deal that everyone thinks he is. If there is a fight that I would be worried for Usyk, it is against Gassiev. It will be a great match up... just imagine how underrated this division is.

    I've always thought Usyk would be a problem for him, after the Lebedev match, I was sure of it, that being said, I almost want Dorticos to KO Gassiev, which I don't see happening, because I think Murat is more of a stylistic threat to Usyk than Dorticos is.

    Still, like I said before quite a few times, Usyk by UD.

    This will be a wicked fight! I bet Gassiev will have his moments in this one but Usyk will prove himself by overcoming them and putting on a show to a UD. Very much looking forward to this one.

    I think Usyk will win the tournament no matter who he has to fight at cruiserweight.......................

    Gassiev top 3 fav fighters ATM, he fights a bit like a CW GGG, that's probably down to Sanchez tho. But usyk is a tough one for him. I'd pick Usyk ud TBH.

    Gassiev's name worries me, it's too plain and simple to go with Glassiev. Although, Dorticos is Cuban himself...tough fight to pick a winner.

    My feeling is that Usyk will stop Gassiev in round 10....

    Neither Usyk or Gassiev have gimme fights next. So I would stop assuming that they automatically face each other in the final.

    Neither will be looking beyond their next opponents, both undefeated with very impressive KO ratios.
