Denis Lebedev vs Murat Gassiev

Another Cruiserweight cracker this weekend. I fancy Gassiev to upset Lebedev in what looks a truly tough affair (note the lack of a staged grudge - just too tough guys who shook hands at the pressure).

It's little wonder Bellew has gone for Haye - Cruiser is a shark pool.

Yep, really looking forward to it

Its also Sanchez vs Roach in the battle of the trainers

Its been picked up by SKY as well

I don't know much of Gassiev, so I can't really comment, but I would think that you have to put some kind of beating on Lebedev to beat him

His only loss is to a drugs cheat who outweighed him by a ridiculous amount and was able to take an absolute shellacking and still keep coming

And of course his SD "loss" to Huck in Germany....hahahaha

I'll go with Lebedev, but I really can't wait!

Think Gassiev has a poor workrate but is a wrecking ball when he lands.

You'd have to think Lebedev would "go" at some point.

What a gruesome-looking pair. Imagine they knocked on your door looking for an unpaid parking fine...

Lebedev has also negotiated for only one of his titles to be on the line - doesn't sound that confident a move!

With all these Eastern European stacked in the cruiserweight division, a paper champion like Bellew doesn't really have much hope of beating any of them. Haye will slaughter Bellew, then hopefully Bellew fights Usyk and gets retired.

wrong thread Happiness personified. The slag off Bellew is on one of the others

One of the best divisions in recent years. Low key but serves up great fights regularly.

I like Lebedev - he seems like a good honest pro who doesn't turn fights down and is as tough as they come. A lot of today's fighters could follow his example.

Confess I know only a little about Gassiev other than he has lead in his gloves but it could end up being a cracker.
