Comments Thread For: Gassiev Has No Excuses, Gives Full Praise To Usyk

[Andrij]

he started boxing at 18? are you serious? thats crazy.

Gassiev started boxing at 13. Had 25 amateur fights and turned pro with 17.

Usyk can easily be champ at heavyweight. Way more talented than AJ or Wilder and he's only slightly smaller than Parker. Avoided like the plague guarantee it

Doesn’t have to be avoided. Once he moves up, he’s WBO #1 contender. That’s how guys have been able to become multi division champs so fast.

I wish there were more fighters like these guys. Gassiev is class, for sure.

It was my first time seeing either one of these guys fight. Usyk is a skillful boxer but he seemed a little uncomfortable every time he got hit with something big. It will be interesting to see how he does at HW and if his chin holds up.

Usyk is capable of beating wilder and Joshua. A good first fight a HW with Bryant Jennings then then Parker, Whyte or Povetkin.. he can have a rematch with joe Joyce.. could follow in holifeilds foot steps

Gassiev would unify the Cruiserweight after Usyk moves up. And maybe then maybe when Usyk is an old man at 35-36 he might meet him at HW after unifying cruiserweight.

Usyk has already called out Bellew (with Bellew accepting)

I think that would be the perfect first HW match for Usyk, as Bellew is a former CW champ, and it isn't a huge weight advantage (Usyk would likely even outweigh Bellew)

Guys should take notes on how Gassiev acted after the fight. No excuses about the ref or anything like that. He did his best and he lost, fair and square and he admitted as much.

Unlike ****** US fighters or divas like Canelo.
