Comments Thread For: Gassiev Drops Dorticos Three Times For Dramatic KO in Twelfth

[john l]

Few things I learned:
Dorticos has good chin and very limited arsenal of punches.
Gassievs power is a bit overrated.

Usyk shoud outbox him

I think Dorticos chin is underated and Gass is still a little green.But BOTH don't get beat outside of Usyk or Bredis at least as of now.

I’m leaning toward Usyk too, he can box well on the back foot and might need to! That being said, Briedis looked to stun Usyk a few times last week, and Gassiev is a big puncher. Should be another great fight in the WBSS, would happily see any combination of fights of the final 4!

Echo others thoughts that it’s a shame the final is in Saudi Arabia, as the atmosphere probably won’t match that of the semis. Imagine a Ukrainian v Russian held in Eastern Europe - would have been amazing for a fight of this stature!

this is the FOTY so far

You are a pиssy, that's just it.
Ref was perfect. If Dorticos had pulled last 25 seconds then who knows what would have been.

Shut yo spectating ass up the fight was done after the second knock down the man just took extra damage that he could of died from and he was already well down the cards no point on letting it go on and letting him get knocked through the ropes like that. We don’t need another Prichard colon .

same, i was super hyped for it and it was even better than i could possibly imagine. best fight in Years.

Totally agree bro. This tournament is a triumph, and CW is the best division in boxing.

[Superbee]

Me too. Dorticos won rounds 1,3,4 Imo. Gassiev took complete control At the 5th

I gave the 8th to Dorticos by default... Gassiev didn't do anything worth mentioning in that one... So I had 4-4 after 8 ... Rest is history with Dorticos taking shots...

I was making more faces than a kalle the cokehead gurning marathon at the shots dorticos was eating.
insane.

Great fight. Two great shows back to back and I expect nothing less of the final. To be honest along with Estrada-Rungvisai the fight I am most excited about.

I told you Gassiev is going to murk Dorticos. But he was right what an A-Bomb!!!! wow

Boxing alive and well in Mother Russia!!!

WAR VUSYK!!!!

Dude he stopped him in last round with like 8 secs left now it could have been stopped a bit earlier(esp now a days) but after 10 it was still to be decided.I would not brag that much on that fight or call.Just saying its not like it was easy to see after couple rounds

Another really great semi-final, love the Mirad's explossiveness and the leverage he gets on his punches. He is a bad style match up for Usyk, can't wait for the fight! I would be neutral in that one because I like both guys a lot. I's sure it's going to be an amazing fight, whitout a doubt. I hope Dorticos is ok, he took a great deal of punishment troughtout the fight, he showed a lot of determination tonight and I have a huge amount of respect for all the fighters risking their lives in the ring, soo I wish him no harm but at the same time I'm very glad he got an ass beating because I can't stand loud mouth super arrogant boxers.
