    Unfortunately, Gassiev was mentally defeated before the start of the fight and didn't capitalize when he had the chance. Oh well

    I think Bellew has a shot because he actually believes he can win and won't make the same mistake Gassiev did

    Joshua and Wilder will destroy Usyk like Tyson did spinks
    i dont remember this happening ?

      I forget the round, but It was a big overhand right that landed clean. Usyk was visibly hurt and reached out to clinch despite the ref telling them to break, Usyk maintained the clinch... Not only did Gassiev not break the clinch, but after they were separated, he didn't follow-up and went right back to punch inactivity. In other words, he blew it

        If I was Usyk I'd push for that April shot at AJ. Taking time to add size could be counter-productive and it would be a step backwards to face a Whyte level opponent just to get used to being against bigger guys. He's already had experience beating Joyce and other HWs in the ams and he'll likely have good HW sparring partners. Holyfield added things to his game and improved after going to HW but he was 26, Usyk will be 32. Not saying he can't change at all but he looks to be having his career peak and should go for the big one sooner rather than later.
