Gassiev Is A Bad Match-up For Usyk...

[Tony Trick-Pony]

If Gassiev passes Doritos who I think is a tougher match-up for him.


Usyk has no punching power

Usyk can be hit

Usyk's style can be crowded

Gassiev has an iron chin

Gassiev has a good tank

Gassiev will track down Usyk and unload bombs to head and body.

Gassiev tends to get hit too much. The Doritos fight definitely isn't in the bag by any means. Beyond that, Usyk has a granite chin and does not get hit as much as Gassiev and as far as Usyk's power, I guess ten guys just laid down for him then and Michael Hunter was stopped but the ref wouldn't call it. Usyk wears guys down and I can see him wearing Gassiev down. I like both guys but Usyk is on a different level. He beat Breidis and that was the truly toughest test in this tourney for Usyk imo.

Briedis give Usyk a though fight fighting in a way similar to Gassiev. But Gassiev is better at fighting that way. Gassiev is cold-blooded, he will go for the body where Usyk is very open. I see a mid to late round KO for Gassiev

Out of Gassiev and Dorticos, Gassiev is the easier fight for Usyk.

Dorticos is the one Usyk would be worried about a lot as the Cuban's right hand is the perfect weapon against Usyk who doesn't get out of range after offloading fast enough and moves back in straight lines.

Gassiev is not an easy fight, don't get me wrong, but Dorticos is real trouble for Usyk.

doritos has slow feet. he will be outboxed from the outside.


the great thing about abel sanchez is that he coaches great aggressive footwork to corner opponents

Who will outbox Dorticos? Usyk? No, Usyk is not a guy to outbox you from range, he's a mid-range volume puncher with a good jab. Dorticos is extremely dangerous for Usyk, who's most vulnerable to straight right hands.
