Usyk vs. Dorticos

[Banko Villas]

How do you see this fight going? I have Dorticos winning by knockout in the first few rounds, but we will see how long it takes him to stop Gassiev. If he does it later than expected, then Usyk could perhaps see the 11th-12th round. Would be a good fight to get Dorticos ready for greater things.

Dorticos in a decent fight. Late stoppage.

Dorticos by KO is not a bad pick, his right hand is deadly for Usyk. Usyk would win on points if he can take them.

But I don't think Dorticos will get past Gassiev so it's all hypothetical.

I really can't comprehend the idea of Dorticos losing to Gassiev. There are levels to this.

Watch Dorticos vs Kalenga.

You already have Dorticos winning fights over Gassiev and Usyk by KO. If you are that high on him you should bet on him because Gassiev is the betting favorite to beat Dorticos. I agree with the odds makers. I think Gassiev will beat Dorticos and Usyk would also beat Dorticos.

Just trying to be realistic.

Well, well, well... I humbly eat my words. That white boy was a true warrior and I'm a fan now.

I hope (and think) that Gassiev destroys Usyk...

Stylistically in Usyk's favour. Usyk is cautious and a slow starter anyway, so after Dorticos misses his opportunity for a an early KO he gets outworked by Usyk.

Gassiev on the other hand presents big problems for Usyk who can't afford to have a slow start while taking damaging body-shots that will hinder his later output and workrate which he uses to win most fights, with not much chance of a stoppage given Gassiev's durability.

[Shrap]

KO Usyk in the first few rounds? Is this thread a joke? Dorticos is way too one dimensional, straight forward and lacking in defense to give Usyk any problems.

Usyk would beat him up badly like he did Hunter, hopefully the ref would actually step in though.
