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

[Shadoww702]

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!

Dont hold your breath with ESPN.

Schafer is getting C ockblocked.

HBO doesnt want to upset GB and Canelo

ESPN doesnt want to upset Bob Arum

Al Haymon has enough problems with his OWN fighters trying to get dates on Showtime so hes not gonna throw him a bone.

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

I fully agree with you, nothing to add to it.

weird how Gassiev looks visibly annoyed after he heavily knocks down dorticos?he says something and then motions a gesture...pretty odd. he doesnt like to celebrate or show any emotions, maybe he wanted the fight to stop because dorticos was taking too much punishment?

His square was a problem you just said it youself with talkin about problems/danger early.But we can agree to disagree.We will find out soon so need to debate much.

He hardly was hit, what are you talking about? The danger comes from Dorticos power to change things with any right, but he didn't land, so reinforces my point, thank you

Don't see need to have better hook to outjab a southpaw?Need to be 1st and patient and right footwork.But like I said we will find out that's whats best. id rather get the fight and be wrong.

The lead hook is the first choice to counter the jab. Even if your jab is better you will turn gun shy if you get hit by a hook everytime you jab, then his jab comes unopposed. For example, remember Pacquiao vs Margarito

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.

yes man ...first fight i seen of usyk was the glowacki fight and my mind was blown...i havent seen anything close to that since..i thought maybe it was the opponent or something, i was like who is this giant with lomachenko type movement ...then i watched his next fight and i was confused

Stop it,,,, he was bcause of that, stop trying make him a compassionate bein

Ummm. Yeah. I kinda know you're trolling - or at least I sincerely hope you are - but couldn't you say the same about all the intermediate or 'Junior' divisions?

'Well he's only fighting at Jr Welter cos he ain't good enough for Welter'. See how dumb that sounds? At least Cruiser can make the case that it's filling a huge gap between 175 and the real behemoths out there who come to the ring at 240 or 250Lbs. What excuse do Jr Welters or Jr MWs have?

Every junior ww or super lw that can have any success at 147 moves up to 147. Crawford, Khan, Danny Garcia, Lamont Peterson, Timothy Bradley, etc. etc.

There is lhw and hw. No bs cruiserweight. Rocky Marciano wasn't some second rate cruiserweight, he was the hw champ. Roy Jones didn't move up to win a cruiserweight title, he moved up and won a hw belt. No one has ever cared about cruiserweights and I doubt they ever will. That's just the way it is.

Hey, it serves as a minor league and that is good though. It allowed fighters like Evander Holyfield and David Haye to get some meaningful experience for their pro careers at hw. So its not all bad, it just doesn't really count as a division.
