It will be a great fight, no doubt.
Good luck to both of them, but I don't get all the "mad respect to Usyk for going abroad" comments. He signed a contract, and you can bet that he can't just back out because he doesn't like the location of the fight. He made a bit of noise about never going to Russia to score some cheap political points, than ate some humble pie and agreed to go there. I just wonder what people would say if there was a better offer from Ukraine and the fight was there. How many of "Gassiev's gonna be robbed" comments would there be?
I thought that the Hollywood stereotype of evil Russians ended in the 80's, but it seems to be well and alive. And, of course, we have all seen that foreign fighters never get robbed fighting in America (or Germany, or UK, or you name it...)Comment

What an amazing fight, what amazing champions, Usyk again travelling to the opponents backyard fighting Gassiev in Moscow.
These guys are real fighters unlike Joshua and Wilder who are social media champions at best.
This fight will be massive in Europe/Russia and the winner is easily one of the top P4P fighters in the sport. I would say this fight is 60/40 for Usyk but Gassiev has home advantage and he has the ko power to stop Usyk any time. Usyk could become a unified, undisputed cruiserweight champion in just 15 fights, faster than Holyfield.Comment
