Gassiev is a punching bag

[pillowfists98]

Foh he is a great fighter he just couldn’t cope with the speed, uysk fights like a jr lw no one at that weight class can keep up with, gassiev still easily handles the rest of the division and probably hw.

Gassiev is most definitely not a great fighter. And Briedis almost beat Usyk so I'm not sure what you're talking about. I think Briedis beats Gassiev.

Briedis is a great fighter himself fym? And nah gassiev KO’s him

[Cutthroat]

He fights almost exactly the same as Abraham except without his jab. I expected more but then again after the Lebedev fight I knew he was heavily flawed.

He is a bum

or maybe usyk is just that good

this was beyond that. gassiev landed a handful of good punches in the fight. He was barely even throwing punches. He was literally just standing right in front of Usyk for a good majority of the fight. It is one of the worst performances I have seen in awhile--nevermind the fact that it was supposed to be some kind of epic matchup.

Explain why. Gassiev seems like a one dimensional puncher to me.

[5burowz]

Agreed. He was made to look very one dimensional. Doesn't change levels or do anything to throw the guy off of rhythm. Just get torched and let him keep changing angles. Conditioning looked suspect too.

This was almost as bad as Clottey-Pac but at least Gassiev did hurt Usyk at one point.

Well that’s because he couldn’t handle usyks speed if you watched his other fights you would see that he’s a technition himself and has a hell of a power punch.

I believe they knew what was coming to them... They would lose on exchanging, they would lose on speed, they would lose on work load... Their only asset was precision and power, betting on Usyk gassing out late... Didn't happen... Could have and we would have a different discussion... I for one was amazed at Usyk stamina until the very last moments... I was sure he would fade out late like Dorticos and then that would have been Gassiev's game..

[5burowz]

how many of you prophets bet on Usyk to win though?

not many I imagine

Well, I didn't bet any actual money but I figured Usyk's athleticism would cause Gas lots of problems but I didn't think it would be a blowout like this. It was almost embarrassing to watch.
