Teper might be an upgrade in opponent,.at least on paper, but I'm not sure what he has left. His last fight was against Helenius (who stopped him) almost 2 years ago. I've criticized Kingpin in the past but he will at least give rounds and won't look for a soft spot on the canvas. In a way, I wouldn't have minded the Johnson selection.

Teper was a tough journey man, but age and VADA probably ruined him. Gassiev by way of murder in 3.

He will destroy this dude just like he destroyed everyone else he has fought except for that slick Slav Usyk, who danced around him beautifully for 12 rounds matador style. We might see him lose again to a runner faster than him, but it's unlikely we will find a better gladiator than Gassiev for sometime. He has a granite chin, thunder in both hands, and ridiculously creative combinations that are proof of a very high boxing IQ. He was a wrecking ball in cruiser and will be a wrecking ball in heavy...

Well there'll be no vada or random testing of any kind for this fight!
Gassiev has now had the benefit of an extended no testing training period so no doubt will look impressive.

Gassiev should win this by stoppage if he is some future contender here.
