Wow. I was not expecting that. I expected Gassiev to steamroll Usyk. Like The Hock stated, hopefully, a learning experience for Gussiev. Congrats to Usyk!

I was surprised, though, how little all of Ussyk's punches hurt G.

Who is that homosexual announcer with the long negrified hair do? Even in Russia!

If the fight had been held in Last Vegas the judges would have given it to Gassiev.

Just viewed the entire fight on Youtube. What a performance! It reminded of me of Joe Calzaghe's complete domination of Jeff Lacy. Albeit not as dramatic, but complete in his domination against a world-class killer in Gassiev. Usyk gave a dominate complete performance of the sweet science. At times he made Gassiev look like an amateur. If he can maintain his boxing skills and stamina in the heavyweight division. A lot of Heavyweights are doomed, namely Joshua and Wilder. Sensational performance! I forgot how rangy and smart Usyk is. Congrats!!!

Gassiev played Usyk's game. He tried to box. He should have let his hands go, tried to turn it into a brawl.

Correct! I was thinking, if Gassiev, mastered Duran's infighting, the match may have been closer.
