    Hey man, i came into this fight thinking Dorticos had a great chance of winning.

    But Gassiev weathered the early intensity and Dorticus bombs and slowly took control and systematically broke him down. The guy's an animal, in the last round when he was clearly ahead he could have settled for a decision but he went for the KO. On top of that the guy's a total gentlemen and a class act. He's certainly made me a supporter.

    How do you see the final going? Pre-tourney it was all Usyk but now i actually think an upset is on the cards!

    Judging by your username i can probably guess your support is!

    Yeah screw that. I'm black and i didn't even notice race until you just pointed it out hahaha!

    This tourney is special but no casuals know about it. It's a shame because it takes you back to the days when the best fought the best to prove they're the man. None of this current ducking ****!

    Man, it would be awesome if they all moved up to heavyweight to wreck havoc. And start a period of smaller skilled heavy heavyweights changing the game!

    That’s because you’re a boxing fan like most of us on here and don’t see the race thing.
    I’m still not sure why I can’t like both Floyd and Manny both and only last week someone jokingly said that I can’t like both Crawford and Lomo lol.

    Wish someone woulda' RBR this for us. They're hurting boxing's pop. by boycotting here.

    It's why so many folks watch "Wrestle Kingdom" and cry theirselves to sleep

    HBO or Showtime need to pick up the final and do a 24/7 - All Access on Usyk & Gassiev.

    While we didn't get all of the best at SMW, we got some really good results.
    Tournaments are fun. I wish Prizefighter was still around.

    Maybe 2 years ago the WBC had two meetings with the other ABC's and three of them said they agreed to divisional tournaments among the champions on a regular basis to create undisputed champions. No surprise it never happened and was all smoke but this tourney is a glimpse into what boxing would look like if divisions were forced to do this every couple years. Imagine four Champions and the four #1 rated guys in each org doing a WBSS thing. Boxing smh.
