It's gonna be a great fight.

I expect a repeat of Ali (Usyk) vs. Foreman (Gassiev).

Usyk is still the favorite... I hope he'll not be robbed.

Usyk is the Lomachenko of the cruiserweight division.

[MDPopescu]

Usyk is the Lomachenko of the cruiserweight division.

... of course he is... but Loma fought better opposition so far...

Russians will support Gassiev coming into the fight but if he loses then they will call him a "Churka" which is a abusive term used by Russians for people from the Caucasus. Gassiev is an Ossetian.

Loma didnt fought ONLY on the home turf of his opponents in all World title fights ! Also Glowacki, Briedis and now Gassiev is a very good resume. They are all Top 5 Cruiserweights.Briedis and Gassiev are even in the Top 3.

"Churka" or "Shkurka" which is a leftover after the circumcision. Just wondering, LOL.
