    It isn't real boxing. They should fight bare-knuckle as the opening act for the bearded lady and midget tossing or for women's mud wrestling in bikini's. It just isn't right to try and sell it as real boxing.

      Sounds like it was an awesome fight! I bet it was much better than Ramirez vs. Ahmed! C'mon ESPN, at least show the final!

          Agree, I was thinking the same for the last couple of his fights. The change happened since he switched the trainer and I don't like it. I remember how untouchable he looked against Glowacki. And this comes from someone who loves the pressure fighters.

              Usyk is gonna have his hands full with "Iron", that kid is one tough son of a b!+ch!

              I like how Gassiev goes to the body really early, feints, his guard is very very tight, he cuts the ring off well and showed he can fight off the backfoot which is how he beat the very dangerous Doritos!

              Usyk will have to go back to his old style and be primarily on the back foot, Gassiev hits too hard, is too relentless and mixes his attack up well enough to where it's not a good idea to jock for position toe to toe!

              Good luck to both men, this tournament has been amazing and cruiserweight division showing why it's the most underrated division in boxing!

              *** you ESPN, Showtime and HBO for not picking this up!

                Exactly. I don't like these new trainers. Now people have this wrong impression of Usyk.
                He was better under either Anatoly Lomachenko or James Ali Bashir.
                Anatoly is only in boxing for his son at this point, which is understandable, so we won't see him training anyone else.
                I much rather see Usyk under Bashir than the current guys. Bashir sometimes over did the movement, but that is Usyk's best weapon. Nobody at Cruiser or Heavy can move like this guy. I don't even see Light-Heavy's, Super Middle's, or Middle's moving like Usyk is capable of moving. It's crazy that they are trying to take one of his best weapons away. Like why??
                You name a fighter from those weight classes that moves like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H07qG-Y_xt8

                  And you call yourself a boxing fan? LMAO

                  So 160 is for guys who are not good enough for 154 or 168...oh and 130 is for guys who are not good enough for 135.......

                  Where is the logic?

                  Cruiserweight is a great division which if marketed right would have a ton of appeal, sub 200lb men is what most fans can identify with next to light heavyweight.

                  Cruisers are still fast, have great power, many of them sturdy guys and they always make for great fights. It's just a mater of marketing the division.

                    Agreed, I'm all in on Usyk but I am concerned if he can get through relentless Gassiev who I can't help to like.

                    Gassiev has improved, and no way in hell can Usyk hurt him I think or discourage him. So Usyk will have to get on his bike and pepper him with combos all night maybe hoping the movement will wear Gassiev down.

                    And agreed on Usyk's new trainers...he seems to be moving less and just has not looked as good to me.

                    This tournament has been mega...can't believe no one in US picked it up, this is a great showcase for boxing. All these fights are easily recommendable to casuals and would suck them in for the whole tourney.
