Oleksandr Usyk vs. Murat Gassiev is going to be a tough fight to predict. These guys are evenly matched. It is great to see 2 of the best in their division and in their primes about to go head-to-head on July 21, 2018. Usyk has 2 cruiserweight titles (WBC, WBO), and Gassiev has 2 cruiserweight titles (WBA, IBF.)
Its winner takes all this Saturday night! Usyk vs. Gassiev for the Undisputed cruiserweight championship of the world!
Usyk will be ultra-aggressive and Murat will be the boxer. This will be nip and tuck the entire night for as long as it last. Can Murat deal with the intense pressure that Usyk will bring to him on Saturday night? If Murat can somehow control the pace of the fight, then he can win this fight easy by piling up the points with counter shots on Usyk. Usyk moves behind a good jab while setting up crosses and hooks.
Murat does back up a lot, so it is going to be tough for him to stop the relentless offense of Usyk. Again, if Murat can deal with Usyk’s pressure, he does have a good chance to win this fight. This is a tough fight to predict! If someone is going to get knocked out in this fight, it will be Gassiev due to the relentless pressure of Usyk.
Which style will prevail? Usyk’s pressure or Murat’s boxing? Tough fight to predict. This is a true 50/50 fight, but in the end, good boxing, if under control, will always better a brawler. Murat should dance his way to becoming the undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world.
Prediction: Murat Gassiev by 12th round split-decision
