Comments Thread For: Photos: Murat Gassiev, Yunier Dorticos - Ready For War in Sochi

[Andrij]

Gassiev has already confirmed he's moving to heavyweight after this fight/the final. Usyk has confirmed he's moving up after the final too.

So it will likely be Breidis V Dorticos for all the vacant belts, with Shovel Face Lebedev, Bellew and a roided up Ward sniffing around as well..

Don't forget also Glowacki,Tabiti. The Cruiserweight division has a future even without Usyk & Gassiev.

Thats true, Michael Hunter is another, i'd take him over Tabiti... although he took a horrible horrible beating in that last couple of rounds V usyk, still no idea why his corner/ the reff didnt stop that.

Also Gvozdyk should move up, hes a huge 175'er. would be a good addition to the CW party.

Both looking ripped and ready!

How the heck is Dorticos ripped? 😂😂

Neither Gassiev nor Dorticos were dropped in pro bouts so far.So Dorticos apparently can take a punch too. I can't wait for this fight which won't go past 5 rounds.

Dorticos was down in Rd 1 vs Eric Fields.
He won the fight with a KO in Rd 4.

Tabiti beats Hunter easy imo.Hunter has no power and not a great boxer but does have heart

Dorticos isn't hard to hit because he throws everything hard. He's got a good chin. On paper it looks like a war, should be fun to watch.

Yea they both easy to hit I think Gass is even worse d wise.But he has shown a good chin and has more ways to win.But he is wide open down middle and cant see Dorticos NOT landing his 1-2 early unless Gass gets him 1st with sneaky body shots.Gass also has a nice little uppercut to body besides that big hook.The uppercut also opens up the hook to body.Yea its deff interesting.
