Usyk vs. Briedis and Gassiev vs. Dorticos - 10 Count

Still deluded. Check out the RBR on here and most had it 116-111 Gassiev. Check yourself before you wreck yourself...

 

Don't sleep on Gassiev; he may emerge as the bigger deal than Briedis when all is said and done. That said, both should (and will, unless Dorticos insinuates himself into the finals) lose to Usyk right now IMO.

 

Sure if you want to believe that, while the last time he got caught on the same stuff (3rd time) it was by done by a lab of his very own chosing, for a sample taken in the buildup for the fight.
Even the Panama based WBA stopped believing his s__t.

Watch the fight again. He did have that hematoma that did him in at the end, but they let it go because he was winning on points, trying to pull a Abraham.

He got caught AGAIN on the same stuff! And for the 3rd time in his career, as against Lebedev wasn't his first time either. (at LMW I believe)

No he absolutely doesn't! He only has won one title, against one of the weaker champions (Arslan) and only succesfully defended it twice against very weak challengers. And a draw against Nelson is your goto for his greatness? Seriously
Whio did he actually legitimately beat at Cruiser? Nobody!

 

Lebedev,the old russian warrior is getting old.Officially,Gassiev won his encounter with Lebedev.However,it could have gone either way as the aging russian war dog was past his prime when he fought Gassiev.Lebedev looked really poor in his last outing to a ring when he beat that mediocre fighter from Australia whose name I ve forgotten.Lebedev used to be the nr. 1 at cruiser but those days are over.Sure , I take my hat off to Gassiev for being able to get the official victory in a tough fight against Lebedev but Usyk is in his prime and Gassiev is for sure the huge underdog against him.

 

Lebedev knew he was in serious trouble against Gassiev, so had to change his whole style. He was in survival mode after the knockdown, running and throwing weak arm punches - even though stats showed they landed a similar amount of punches.

I see Gassiev beating Dorticos fairly comfortably. To me, he seems to have most of the advantages.

 

Gassiev is 6'3

 

Usyk should win this tournament................
