Usyk vs. Briedis for Lineal Cruiserweight Title
Usyk vs. Briedis for Lineal Cruiserweight Title
I feel like Usyk and Briedis are currently the #1 and #2 Cruiserweights.
Wouldn't it be an awesome fight?

I think that Usyk will handle him but Briedis showed decent skills tonight.

Gassiev beats them both.

Maybe. I think that he should be favored over Briedis but I think that Usyk could get a decision.boxing_rocks wrote:Gassiev beats them both.

Re: Usyk vs. Briedis for Lineal Cruiserweight Title
Yes, both Usyk and Gassiev haven't been tested against somebody as good as they are, so both have chances. I just was surprised with the talk about lineal title not including Gassiev.Tanzio wrote:Maybe.

Re: Usyk vs. Briedis for Lineal Cruiserweight Title
Usyk is probably the best boxer(p4p) right now. I am waiting for him to move up and face Joshua, Wilder and Ortiz.....And Tyson Fury, of course...

Yes, but Lebedev may not be in his prime anymore.

I thought Gassiev clearly defeated Lebedev, and even in his current condition Lebedev is better than Usyk's best win.Tanzio wrote:That's MY pointboxing_rocks wrote:Yes, but Lebedev may not be in his prime anymore. Usyk is.Tanzio wrote: Gassiev was tested pretty severely by Lebedev.

I consider Briedis' resume better than Gassiev.boxing_rocks wrote:Yes, both Usyk and Gassiev haven't been tested against somebody as good as they are, so both have chances.

Briedis (not a large Cruiserweight) KTFO a much taller heavyweight Manuel Charr,
TKOd Durodola (who KTFO Dima the Wonderboy of Kudryashov)
And now beat Huck, who to this day was still considered a top 5 Cruiserweight. And he did it in Germany too.
Gassiev's only good win is against a 37 year old Lebedev (14 years older than Murat) and even that was a close fight.
Gassiev is a good young fighter, but Briedis I think deserves the #2 Cruiserweight position more.
Re: Usyk vs. Briedis for Lineal Cruiserweight Title
Yep, Briedis is #2 for me as well. I also think he'd beat Lebedev more comfortably than Gassiev did..

Usyk soundly beat Glowacki.. i was bit disapointed with Gassiev against Lebedev. He could have won unanimously but he gave rounds away..Tanzio wrote:Gassiev was tested pretty severely by Lebedev.boxing_rocks wrote:Yes, both Usyk and Gassiev haven't been tested against somebody as good as they are, so both have chances.

Re: Usyk vs. Briedis for Lineal Cruiserweight Title
Gassiev can punch, and that's it. If he lands properly, everything is possible, but Usyk is much more skillful.Ruthless-RKO wrote:Usyk soundly beat Glowacki.. i was bit disapointed with Gassiev against Lebedev.
