Just watched Gassiev vs Dorticos. Wow. Absolutely unbelievable, Gassiev is an animal, like a bigger scarier triple G I thought, then I Clocked they was both trained by Abel Sanchez
Agree. Walked through Dorticos’ big shots, fought on the back foot majority of the fight and still controlled the whole fight, whilst just picking his punches cleverly.

I reckon Usyk nullifies a lot of Gassiev work and wins 116-112
As much as I rate Gassiev I just think Usyk is far more well rounded boxer
Okolie v Chamberlain was abominable last night wasn't a great bill to be honest. Hell of a knockout in the first fight other than that there was little to get excited about. Reece Bellotti knocking out a journeyman was the other glimmer in a very dull show
@nth london addick How's Issac doing mate? Guess he's finished sparring now, or last spar this weekend. Looking forward to next week. Who's more excited, you or him? Haha

Yes, looking forward to it as well.
Do you know what time he's likely to be on, D? I'm assuming quite late (9.00pm'ish) but wouldn't want to miss it - the restaurant is booked for 5.00pm so will probably get to the arena around 7.00-7.30.
That's what I would expect - but sometimes running orders are not always predictable.
No, they are not! I'm picking our tickets up tomorrow Bob, if I'm allowed near you and the owner of the big scrotum I'll come and introduce myself. seriously looking forward to this fight

Isaac should be the fight before the big one, maybe 9.30, Arnfield/Langford around 8.30, with the big one ring walking at 10.30. Manchester is usually a later licence than say the O2 so could be 30 minutes later than those times. I fancy seeing Iqbal as well so will be taking my seat early!
Yes, make sure you do - I should be easy to spot as I doubt there will be many ringside on crutches!

He finished with a good 8 rds with josh and Reece this morning , he is in mean shape and now ready to just chill down
He has been spot on with his weight at each check so there is no more that could’ve been done
Bob Speaking to nisse and kalle they reckon 9 to 920 for Issac
I am now in sleepless night mode for him I know what it means how hard he has worked and how much real bad blood there is between them it is a real winner takes all loser goes now where fight so it’s all on the line
I forget just how few pro fights Issac has had this is only fight 17 he is imo 3 or fights ahead of where josh was at this level at that age , he is a year 18months away from peak physical condition and strength
I can tell you from first hand
I have seen him in the ring with
Frampton Mould Warrington
And he has dominated them all at times Carl was very complimentary as was Jamie Moore this is a different Issac than many will have seen
Bob I am inner ring H row 4 seat 4 and the mrs in 5
Going to do the press conference on Friday and wind up the Walsh brothers should be relatively easy as they don’t take much to wind up
Especially as I believe Walsh will be over weight to fight for the belt
Then hit San Carlo on Friday night
my pal has arranged the vip at park plaza the meet and greet with jonny Nelson and Jamie Moore Saturday before the fight so I have blagged a guest list invite to that
I have also blagged a Chauffer for the night from my mates at oldham let me know where you are on sat and we will try and meet for a beer

Sounds like a great weekend you have planned. Yes, wind the carrot cruncher up as much as you can!
We are inner ring block L row 4 - there’s five of us and I’ve seen a picture of a ticket - seat 9 - so there or thereabouts.
We’re getting to the hotel (Hilton) around 2.00pm, few drinks there and then a meal at Hawksmoor at 5.00pm. Arena around 7.00pm so definitely see you ringside and grab a drink.
Comments
Both their semi finals have been brilliant, both undefeated, all 4 titles on the line.
Very very tough to pick a winner.
We're also 8/15 GGG, 6/4 Canelo - so maybe a Gassiev/Canelo double is in order! Maybe throw in George at 6/4 for a treble!!
As much as I rate Gassiev I just think Usyk is far more well rounded boxer
Balance , timing, power, speed, fitness he really does have it all

Could be mind games but they won’t work personally i find it disrespectful and I take offence with it
Going to come in heavy and look for KO well he won’t get it and Isaac will be too smart and take him out just as I said above
Great solidarity from Lew Smith showing his class on Twitter with the #TeamDNEL tweet big respect from me there Lew
