Wow, how horrible. Why did they find the need to do that? It was nice to see them all free on YouTube.

promo to the fight
IMO keys to victory:
Gassiev: pressure, body punches, responsible in defense
Usyk: combination punching, counters, pressure
Both: stamina, tougness
Man i am so excited for this

Great promo to watch, thanks for posting it !

Has the right ingredients for a good fight I'm looking forward to it.

I think it starts at 5pm EDT (US), but i'm usually wrong about such things .

Just saw klowdtv says 3pm ET. Maybe that's for the prelims. Don't know.

Is klowd tv any good @ $10 a month. What boxing matches do they show? I have no interest in threst of their junk.

Also how easy do they make it for you to cancel the subscription with them once tbey have your credit card? Maybe i can find it someplace else to see it, but i'm out here with only an android tablet and phone. Pm me if you have any ideas please, and i'll return the favor if i learn anything.

Got it! I think. PM me if you require further information if u know what i mean wink wink nudge nudge! The pencil necked geeks who curse me out here need not apply.

Anyone know how long before the main event?

Huh just came back from vacation in Estonia and for moment I though I missed the PTBF vote

Very one sided and lacklustre fight with Briedis.

Still five minutes.................

This is gonna be good. Bring it on!!!

Gassiev starting slow. Usyk boxing his head off.

Usyk moving really well.

10 9 U

Wow, Gassiev came back well in the second. Tough round to score, but I think Usyk edged it.

Gassiev landing few good body shots. Usyk busy with jab

20 - 18 U

Slow start from Gassiev but my money is on him.

Usyk dominates the 3rd. 3-0 Usyk.

Not liking what I'm seeing. Gassiev is a notoriously slow starter, but Briedis was making the rounds more competitive.

This gets decided in later rounds once Usyk slows down and starts eating more punches. His punch resistance will be the key.

OMG! Just while I was thinking Usyk was schooling Gassiev, an effing huge punch. I don't think that would win him the round, but he's still dangerous for sure.

4-0 Usyk

5-0 Usyk, but could be argued for sure 3-2. depending on if you like Gassiev's hard, effective punches. Gassiev better start getting strong, though. Usyk had a great 5th.
