Comments Thread For: Gassiev-Dorticos, Okolie-Chamberlain: Super fights, damp squibs

I'm glad Doritoes got beaten and exactly how it went down. He should be on a highlight video of "When Trash Talkers Get Beat." It would be fun to see that happen with Wilder as well.

He was humble in defeat nothing to be ashamed of and he was trying to sell the fight. Meiris Briedis tried to sell the fight when Usyk wasn't, Dorticos tried to sell the fight when Gassiev wasn't. What is boxing without some good trash talk? He trash talked all the way before the final moments in the weigh in when the jig was up and it was about time to be professional and acknowledged Gassiev and the WBSS with thanks and gratefulness for having him in such a big event.

Dorticos put in one hell of an effort, he demonstrated a ton of heart and grit.

Why in the world would you disrespect him after that?

Show some class like Gassiev did.

Do you honestly believe that Dorticos would’ve acted in a benign and compassionate manner if he’d sparked Gassiev to win the fight?

I don’t know if any of you guys have watched any of the promo videos WBSS outs on YouTube but they are excellent. For every fight they have had a pre fight video about 25 mins long, just like a HBO 24/7 type thing. Then after the fight, they release one like the one from Saturday’s fight is already up on YouTube it’s called WBSS-Gassiev vs Dorticos- The Day After. Very good production value and very entertaining to watch for any interested fan. Thought it was really cool to see Gassiev give Dorticos back his WBA belt in the dressing room after the fight, it was a genuine moment of sportsmanship and respect.
On the subject of the next tournament weight class, I’m sure it’s a long shot, but what about Middleweight? In a division where nobody will fight eachother because of the GGG/Canelo rematch, it’s the perfect division for a tournament. Of course it would be better with GGG and Canelo, but even without them could have a cracking tournament. With them it would be like GGG, Canelo, Saunders, Jacobs, Charlo, Derevyenchenko, Lemieux, and Andrade. If you take GGG and Canelo out then you add in Murata and maybe a wildcard like Nate Gallimore or an old Andy Lee or something. Or even better, Eubank Jr since he can still make 160 according To him. Either way that would
Be a hell of a tournament. That being said, I don’t see it having a snowballs chance in hell of happening.

Andrade would do a lot of trash talking and then suddenly pull out of the tournament before he has to fight anyone.

[Steven Mccowan]

It was one class act. To be honest, watching fights in the Eastern Euro countries you get none of that disrespectful and pompous mentality with commentators seemingly upstaging the fighters like HBO. They comment not opinionate. And as you have seen from GGG to Klitchko the vast majority of those fighters are respectful of each other. The Trash talking has gotten way old for me.

Yeah its annoying as hell. Cant watch a good scrap nowadays without those fools yelling out how its hagler hearns lmao. Look just the other day when the filipino guy was on espn and those guys spent the whole time trying to compare him to pacquiao just because he filipino smh.

This article claims that a clear #1 and #2 are fighting in the finals but I'm not sure that's the case. It's more like:

#1 - Gassiev
#2 and 2.1 - Usyk and Breidis

I'm a Usyk fan but I'm not a blind, bias fanatic. I don't care what anyone says, Breidis could've easily got the nod in that fight.

[club fighter]

I hope it's a massively successful & entertaining bout.
After that stud performance by Gassiev over Dorticos, it might be a hard act to follow.
