Dont care about Lebedev since Jones brutalized him..

jones cheated in that fight and was also brutalized.

usyk beats all these guys at cruiserweight.

OOOUUU! look Lebedev on his slick game: made him miss by a mile! Gassiev stays on the offense with a weak jab Lebedev sees the opening comes over the top with a right hook circles to his right, Gassiev resets comes back with another weak jab and Lebedev repeats the previous counter ( hook ) but also follows with a straight left down the pipe off southpaw but tha boy is not done yet hes got another hook and puts the finishing touch ending the cycle with the jab. We got head-movement, counter then we showed him our new pair of shoes! took him for a walk greased the runway and caught him slippin baby! now thats boxin! 3-3-2-3-1 off one grazing jab! MASTERFUL. but that knockdown tho!

By better fight, its a fight that Gassiev could win more easily as Huck is less mobile than Usyk and Gassiev more chance of landing his bombs. Not sure Gassiev would be favourite vs Huck though (especially if in Germany).

I could care less who wins; Gassiev brings the thunder, Huck brings the thunder, so Gassiev-Huck seems set to be a barnstormer of a fight.

From the talks about the guy, Usyk is arriving on the scene as a late-stage Wladimir Klitschko and that style has never made for anything close to an interesting fight (unless the opponent was so overmatched that Wladimir could simply bomb away).

if it goes to decision, you'd hope that the judges would be fair about it, but the matchup seems, to me, to be set for fireworks through the final bell.

Just watched the fight. Don't see what the fuss was about wasnt even close.

Murat clearly won hurt Dennis numerous time almost every round.

Murat walked through every thing the guy had 2 judges had it right

GGG: spend 30 min before fight with Murat Gassiev. Leader, motivated 23-year old. After: waited 2 hrs in the locker room. Beautiful. #boxing

Also had Leb winning but there is a very strong argument for Gassiev because of the KD and the fact that he hurt Leb more than Leb hurting him. Effective aggression on Gassiev's part.

What I can not understand is the wide scoring.

[LetOutTheCage]

Lol@ the morons saying it was a robbery, it seems these days you cant have a close fight without some screaming robbery. Lebedev might have landed slightly more but Gassiev was always the aggressor and crucially was landing the harder and more eye-catching shots.

Close fight but I had Gassiev just edging it.
