GASSIEV-DORTICOS SEMI-FINAL SET FOR SOCHI FEBRUARY 3
The Ali Trophy semi-final bout in the cruiserweight edition of the World Boxing Super Series between IBF World Champion Murat Gassiev (25-0, 18 KOs) and WBA World Champion Yunier Dorticos (22-0, 21 KOs) takes place at the Bolshoy Ice Dome in Sochi, Russia on February 3, 2018.

“The consistent growth of our tournament concept keeps attracting major sports investors. Comosa is very proud to bring the Ali Trophy semi-final to Sochi,” said Comosa’s CEO, Roberto Dalmiglio.

“This fight is a very special one,” said Kalle Sauerland, Comosa’s Chief Boxing Officer:

“The level in the Ali Trophy tournament is already of the very highest, but when you have two such decorated boxers with massive KO power then the only guaranteed winner is the fans.

Two World Champions collide in Sochi, this special Olympic City. Russia hold tight for the Ali Trophy experience, the lights and stars are on their way!”

Murat ‘Iron’ Gassiev, the Russian second seed, earned his spot in the semi-final when he blew away Polish Krzysztof Wlodarczyk in New Jersey in October with a powerful performance to produce a third-round KO.

“The location for the semi-final was not important for me, but the fact that it will be in Russia and the beautiful city of Sochi makes me very glad,” said Gassiev.

“This means my family and friends and a lot of people from my home region of Ossetia will be attending. Also, it is always an honour and pleasure to fight in front of my countrymen,” said the 24-year-old and expresses a lot of respect for his upcoming challenge.

“Dorticos is a very good dangerous fighter. It is going to be great to test my skills against an opponent like him. I am confident we will deliver great boxing for fans around the world.”

Cuban Dorticos aka ‘The KO Doctor’, the tournament’s fourth seed, impressed in his quarter-final with a devastating KO victory in the third round over Russian Dmitri Kudryashov in San Antonio in September. And he predicts another jaw-dropping output against another Russian in the host city of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

“I am looking forward to fighting in Sochi. No matter where I fight, I will work hard to take my opponent out,” said 31-year-old Dorticos who is fighting out of Miami, USA.

“I believe I am the best in the world and the future winner of the Muhammad Ali Trophy. I can’t wait to show Gassiev and the fans in Russia and all over the world what ‘The KO Doctor’ is about!”

The cruiserweight final of the World Boxing Super Series will take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in May 2018.

Tickets for the Ali Trophy semi-final between Gassiev and Dorticos are going on sale later this month. Fans are asked to sign-up for ticket alerts at worldboxingsuperseries.com to avoid disappointment.

If Cotto would have clearly beaten or dominated Shane, then I prolly would hold that victory higher than Bradley's win over JMM, but..........

since it was a close ass could go either way type of victory, I can't rank it over a clear win which Timmy had over JMM.
I always rank clear/dominant wins over close could go either way type of fights.

Same reason I say Swift's win over Matthysse is better than Canelo's win over Lara.

Timmy for his lack of skills, has clear dominant wins over his best opponents (undefeated prime PED, undefeated prime Alexander, JMM)
That has to count for something. :manny:

Firstly Sugar Shane had alot of weird ass homos ass fans, how could one not see Cotto boxing the shyt out of Mosley teeing away with killer left and right counters knocking the sweat off his balco head.. Secondly how the fukk was Bradley win over JMM not disputed, Bradley landed 15 more punches yet JMM landed 35 more power shots.........

Swift dominated Lucas, who is still trying to pick up the pieces.......Contrary to Canelo who arguably got a gift and never looked back.......


Bradley has Jessie Vargas problem and ducked a khan fade, and nearly got killed by Prov........His wins dont mean shyt, if Bradley resume is so great, how do yall nikkas shyt on Swifts and act like he aint hof in the same breath....:stopitslime:
