Official: PBC on FS1- Murat Gassiev vs Jordan Shimmell RBR Thread

[HanzGruber]

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

Why do divisions other than 175 & 200 still exist

Cruiser is such a good division yet whenever anybody talks about it, there's like 8 replies to the threads.

Haha exactly how I've felt about boxing for some time now.
If it wasn't for the CW division I'd probably have virtually zero interest in the sport with how it currently is.

Great to see that we have a young upcoming star and k.o. artist in the CW division, Gassiev who is a good friend of GGG.

Let's see how he develops into a star and the former GGG haters will hate on this guy.

This guy will be mandatory for the Lebedev/Ramirez unification that is happening this weekend.

Will the winner vacate the belt to avoid Gassiev like Canelo dropped his belt?

[j0zef]

I don't think anyone will vacate before facing Gassiev. He's still a kid, and very unrefined. Calling him CW Golovkin does both fighters a disservice.

Gassiev is more like Tyson than Golovkin.. without the defense.

Ah ****. Yea me too, well a couple of his GG titles anyway. I miss watching the W-MI GG @ the Wyoming National Guard Armory since I moved.

I like Murat here, but rooting for Jordan.

Well we know how that turned out.....
On a side note they moved the W-MI GG from the National Guard Armory to the Delta Plex this year.

Aw damn. I feel a lil sad about that. Loved the intimate feel of the Armory. Are they filling up the DeltaPlex? I know they filled up that lil ass Armory all the time, but that fit maybe 1k-1.5k I'd guess. The DeltaPlex has gotta be 3x-5x bigger I'd assume.
