Gassiev might land some big punches here and there but they won't have the needed effect. I expect Usyk to fight the same way as against Glowacki.
Usyk is right and I’d agree with you.

Russia just hosted a World Cup to worldwide applause and no hooliganism like roundly reported and expected by western media, again completely unfounded criticisms levelled which really only highlight media’s as attempting to portray Russia in bad light. It really puts Russia in a bad light should their be an injustice, what do they profit or gain from it putting the country in proven bad light ?
Their is a lot of money in the pockets of Russian oligarchs, they’ll only get their man another title shot down the line, it is what it is deal with it don’t misconstrue it for no other purpose than what the media’s themselves would have you think of Russia.
Im not Russian and I'm rooting for the Ukrainian, but I’m not going around making baseless accusations.

Originally posted by Andrij View PostOne Croatian player said after win against Russia "Glory to Ukraine". And suddenly in all Russian media there was so much hate towards the word Ukraine. You never been in Ukraine or Russia and knows nothing about the war in East Ukraine thats why you think that you are smart. But you are not in this case.

Looking forward to this fight for quite a while, glad it's nearly here.
I watched the WBSS video earlier to help get hyped for it, and one of the main things I took away from it is Usyks lack of an actual trainer, he mentions he didn't have the best camp for Briedis, said that his old trainer was a good man but that he wasn't really helping him improve etc, and by the sounds of it he never properly replaced that trainer, his substitute seems to be his cutman - who he doesn't refer to as trainer but instead as a supervisor - I know Uysk is an elite boxer but I do wonder how a lack of an actual trainer could affect the fight.
I may be reading too much into the lack of a trainer but it could come into play.
