Usyk has the far more exciting style, especially when pushed, not sure what's so compelling about Gassiev's.
I'm ambivalent, I think an Usyk win has the greater upside: it might lead to an incredible campaign at CW and HW, and I would love to have witnessed the first steps of a Hall of Fame career. But... I just prefer Gassiev's style. Punchers give me a visceral thrill. I can appreciate Usyk's peck'n'move style but I find it admirable rather than exciting. The perfect result would be a draw - Usyk wins most of the rounds but Gassiev get a knock-down (or two). Usyk then moves up to HW and Gassiev dominates CW - perhaps pulverising Bellew!
Usyk will probably win, I don’t mind who wins because both men seem like gentlemen and are great ambassadors of the sports. I hope Gassiev wins if I have to pick.
I like both and hope they will show a good and honest boxing Just get rid of this ****, this "holy war" has spread all over the world: "Putin, Bandera" and other ****
I like both boxers. Usyk is the most skilled boxer, if Usyk then I will hate to see Gassiev lost, if Usyk were to lose I would hate to see him lose also, so I can't really win...................I do think Usyk will out box Gassiev and win the tournament, but it will be a really good fight. Why is USTV boycotting this fight?
