Shimmel was the favorite?

Wasn't that 9 time golden glove champ heavily favored? It sure sounded like he was.

To American boxing maybe but to boxing....nah

The huge underdog that won tonight was Abell at +1000 to +1500 upsetting heavy favorite Nofire. That was the huge upset on this card. Heavy favorite Gassiev defeating Shimmel was expected.

Frightening K.O
A lot of fighters at CW have savage power especially these Eastern European fighters.
The division just keeps getting better and finally more and more are taking notice.

The top fighters and prospects just keep delivering brilliant fights and beautiful K.Os, I love it.

Damn that much? Abell looked way sharper even with his 9 losses

The ko was surprisingly the num 1 play on sportscenter

PBC has Gassiev listed as 29 years old but Boxrec has him as 22. Does anyone know which is correct?

He's 22ish.


He fought on this German card (can't remember the main event) like 1.5ish years ago and he was like 20 years old.

The decay of American boxing is a sad thing to witness.

Does a bigger guy (175+) ever get blasted like Shimmell did last night & have a elite level career later on?

I always think the worst part of those types of KO's is its hard to get your confidence back after that. There is always some primitive **** in boxing when you lose a fight that says somewhere in your brain that it means that person could have killed you, but there are lotsa disputable things going on in fights that you can lie to yourself concerning why you lost. You can't lie about nothing when a mfer puts you down like Shimmell got put down. Thats gotta f#ck with your head & make everything harder from then on.

Whatever the case, Gassiev is a bad motorscooter & someone everyone at 200 will be taking notice of soon if they aren't already.

Im ok! That loss/knock out sucks and is embarrassing but im ok. Thank you everybody for the support
