Comments Thread For: Murat Gassiev-Yunier Dorticos: Stats & Stakes

[observer]

From what I've seen, Dorticos beat Kudryashov through better tools and physicality - once he turned it on, he steamrolled his opponent.

Whereas Gassiev beat Wlodarczyk through the use of clever strategy. Gasseiv was headhunting and then delivered a short bodyshot.

Gassiev is the cleverer fighter, who is more compact and physically stronger. I think he will solve Dorticos and get him out of there by round 6-7. But we will see soon enough...

Well, the fight is over. Nearly went the distance. I have no idea how Dorticos stayed up for so long. He took some hellacious shots...

Gassiev smoked your boy. You are 2-1 now bro,

Most Cuban fighters are ruined after the KO. They start to gas and succumb more and more. Time will tell but I see Gassiev beating Usyk quite soundly.

Interesting pick in Dorticos...i went from 50/50 very slightly favoring gassiev to heavily favoring Gassiev as the fight has come close, not sure whether it's because everyone else is confidently picking him or not, i can't wait either way!
btw Gassiev is not 25 he only just turned 24

Great pick my friend.

Dorticos proved to be a one trick pony and the only adjustment he made was fighting on his front foot to fighting on his back foot. Very little in terms of mixing up his punch combos and not very mobile. Didn't seem to know what to do when Gassiev wasn't standing there to be hit or laying down when he was.

Thats possible. Since Usyk separated with James Ali Bashir he got worse. He gets hit a lot more now, doesnt use his footwork and jab as in the Glowacki fight. Plus many Ukrainians including me don't like his mentality. Actually some Ukrainians want to see him getting KOed.

Having watched Gassiev - Dorticos, I am looking forward to the final.
