Breakdown: Oleksandr Usyk vs. Murat Gassiev fight preview and prediction
This Saturday, the World Boxing Super Series wraps up their Cruiserweight tournament in spectacular fashion when Oleksandr Usyk (14-0; 11 KOs) faces Murat Gassiev (26-0(1); 19 KOs). The winner wins the WBSS Cruiserweight tournament, but perhaps more importantly, he also becomes the unified champion at 200 pounds, claiming the four major titles currently split between the two. Ring Magazine has Usyk at #1 in the division, Gassiev at #2. Usyk is also #10 on their pound for pound list, and I would find it hard to deny the winner here a higher spot. The fight takes place this Saturday, July 15 in Moscow at 3:00 p.m. ET and will be airing live online at Klowd TV for $9.99.
