Comments Thread For: Murat Gassiev Inks Pact With Hearn, Heading To Heavyweight

[Oldskoolg]

Why does Gassiev need so many promoters?

Just a bunch of extra hands reaching into his pocket.

The European fighters don’t seem very interested in starting their own promotional companies so hey can keep more of their prize money. That seems to be an American thing

Should be an exciting addition to the division. Definitely has things to work on that Abel most likely won't be able to teach. But boy can he crack. Says a lot that Arreola says he hit the hardest.

Looks like Hearn is garnering a HW stable of his own since Haymon/PBC only want in-house predetermined fights.

I keep forgetting how young Gassiev is. He was only 24 when he fought Usyk.

He's still inexperienced too, and will get bigger and better over the next 5 years.

Eddie now has 3 former top CWs in the mix at HW. It's going to be very interesting seeing how they get on.

Absolutely, looking forward to seeing they’re heavyweight journeys

Didnt realise he was as young as that, thought he was pushing 30

Strong genes lol dude looks mid 30's. Good signing for DAZN though i like IRON

[Southpawology]

I like Gassiev, good signing he is still very young BUT He should drop Abel Sanchez too

Going to need way better head movement to have any success at heavyweight though...


The good thing is that he won't have to worry about cutting the ring off at Heavyweight, something he really struggled with vs Usyk

Man usyk really boxed the ***** outta him. It looks like a heavyweight version of Pac/Rios lol.

Abel gotta train more head/upperbody movement and how to cut off a ring instead of following like a brainless robot.

Yeah some masterful boxing from Usyk

[SN!PER]

He showed an iron chin against Usyk and wields serious power according to former sparring partner Arreola.

Great addition to the heavyweight division, would love to see him against Ruiz Jr., Chisora, or Whyte.

[Chrismart]

Good stuff, It will be interesting to see how he gets on at HW.

[KTFOKING]

Gassiev vs Povetkin
Gassiev vs Hunter
Gassiev vs Hrgovic

Would love to see one of these fights later this year.
