    5-0 to Usyk for me.

    Good fight though.

    I think it’s not that good. Too one sided pitter patter.

    Gassiev content to just be there...

    He did slow down yep but two very fit fighters. Gassiev will come on in this fight but I dont expect Usyk to blow a gasket.

    Ya I'd be of pretty much the same view unless of course Gassiev blows it for him.

    But at the min its looking like it'll take something extraordinary to achieve that.

    Usyk winning everything imo. Maybe a round for Gassiev at most. Usyk is throwing a lot but if he starts slowing down, I think Gassiev will find an opening. Thought he hurt Usyk at end of round 3 and think he can do it again.

    I have it 5-2 Uysk. Possibly one of the rounds generous to Gassiev.

    7-0 Usyk.

    Before his surge there, I was thinking that Gassiev could get stopped late if it keeps going like this.

    The between round music in the arena is genuinely awful

    Bit of a clinic this. Usyk's stamina, movement and output is on another level

    I'd agree with that.

    I do think Gassiev is dangerous still though. Usyks punches don't look like they're that heavy handed either so not sure he's knocking Gassiev out with all this jabbing.

    Surely nobody has this close?

    Usyk in volume alone easily ahead

    He's making a fighter like Gassiev look ordinary. It might not be a barn burner but this is an unreal performance by Usyk so far

    I doubt it after he took that shot flush earlier on in round three and shook it off- that might well have knocked many other fighters out at cruiserweight. Assuming Uysk wins, I would love Bellew to face Uysk, but it won't happen because he'll get more money elsewhere. Uysk would beat Bellew easily.

    Like a Lomachenko/Calzaghe combination. Gassiev looks defeated mentally.

    Usyk should be ending this. Target the body...relax on the output..

    Haven’t followed boxing closely for a few years but remember hearing Usyk was highly rated coming through. It’s my first time seeing him. He looks classy.

    Where's the money elsewhere? I think Lebedev is the WBA mandatory, and then Vlasov is the highest ranked fighter who hasn't been in the tournament but neither of them are big paydays really. There's no big name US or UK fighter at the top there either.

    Bellew might be the best fight there money wise that isn't a straight leap to HW

    No.

    I will say he has no chance against the best at HW.

    No way he gets away with pitter pattering them all night without getting whacked...

    So, unless the chin is titanium I reckon he gets steamrolled..

    Imagine AJ in there? Even Usyk weighing 220, AJ would destroy him..

    The only deficiency in his game is the lack of knock out power. He is a superb boxer, he is making Gassiev look ordinary.
