Prime Vs prime, who wins?

Gassiev stops him.

Both are good boxers with polished, but contrasting styles. Gassiev would be the one to press forward in this match, while Drozd would have to use his agility as much as possible to avoid Gassiev's power. Yet Drozd clearly wasn't as good in slick boxing as Usyk, while Gassiev's delivering abilities are solid, he even wobbled Usyk. I guess, Drozd could win a bunch of rounds, but eventually Gassiev would batter him.

good fight, they each had strengths that exploit the others weakness. drozd's movement would give gassiev trouble for a while, i think gass would eventually surge and be too strong though, especially to the body. late stoppage for gassiev with close cards, maybe even drozd ahead

it's a shame drozd couldnt stay healthier, i think he was better than many guys who outachieved him
