Comments Thread For: Dorticos: Gassiev is a Strong Fighter, I'll Be Back, I Want Rematch

[Herdis]

IMO going into round 8 it was more or less even or Dorticos was winning by a round he lost badly in the last 4 rounds because of his stamina issues but if he works on that and controls the pace he can beat gassiev.

Thank you,... my sentiment exactly,,, But these people would have you think that these was some massive disparity in skills

I am probably in the minority here, but I am happy the referee didn't stop the fight after KD1 or KD2. I knew Dorticos would be shouting that it was a premature stoppage and that he wants Gassiev again asap. Turns out being knocked out of the ring doesn't stop him talking about a rematch either...

When a fighter is as arrogant as Dorticos, there's so much at stake and the fight is not one-sided, I think the referee should let the fight run its course and not stop it before any doubt is removed.

Here we go with the dehumanization.. how the **** is he arrogant? He was knocked off the ring, he fell off because he was fatigue

Also he didnt say it was a premature stoppage..

[Herdis]

Humility is a tough lesson to learn. Aside from that I think that's all he's getting from Gassiev. Gassiev is on to great things I think. He put a beating on the doctor. Period.

Jesus christ you people are ****ing moronic.. Dorticos was in the fight the whole time, he wasnt a beatin you c--t

Fatigue and skill are not the samething, the fact that you don't realize that makes me laugh.

Good point - let me correct myself. If he were a smarter fighter.

All these things are relevant in this game. Gassiev at 24 fought a much smarter fight than the 31 year old, arrogant Dorticos did. I don’t see him beating Gassiev.

Great fight ! Lot of respect for both.

Yes, Dorticos fought like always, with a chip on his shoulder.
This time he ended up being the one on the canvas.

His corner should have thrown the towel after the first KD. It was clear he couldn't defend himself.
His chin might be ruined for good now; he's always been in these types of wars.

he will not come back from that beating

Dorticos started strong, Gassiev finished strong thats the only difference here people talking about how Gassiev completely dominated are tripping, Dorticos won the first 4 rounds and a few in between but his stamina failed him and I feel that was Gassievs gameplan to drag him into deep waters and take him out like he did. Dorticos had never been past 10 rounds before so yeah Gassiev had the right gameplan.

idiotic comment cause gassiev knew about the stamina problems and laid back ALLOWING DORTICO TO TIRE OUT and "losing" rounds so then he could bomb him out. any one that thinks dorticos "won" the first half of the fight without gassiev ALLOWING him to is silly and it is like saying Ali "lost" rounds to Foreman

I think so. I thought the same things while I was watching Gassiev-Dorticos. In the earlier rounds Gassiev's fight looked like Canelo against GGG, was moved more, fast combinations. Dorticos looked like GGG without successful attacks. But I think in the rematch GGG will fight more defensively. In the first fight GGG wanted a war, big drama show. But he was surprised when canelo moved a lot. I am sure in the next fight Golovkin will bring boxing, as he said himself after the fight. If he fights in the same manner, then he is ****** and this time 100% he will be KO'd out like Dorticos .

Yes, but what I was really getting at is gassiev did much better than nelo.
If gassiev ran as much as nelo, gassiev wouldn't have koed dorticos.

Yes, of course.

Great fight. Loving the uppercuts Gassiev was landing.
