“Gassiev had a lot of trouble with the size, the reach and movement of Wallin,” BoxingScene’s report stated. “During the sixth, Wallin seemed to hurt Gassiev and went after him, but wasn’t able to finish him off. During certain moments, Gassiev was able to land the kind of shots which usually downed opponents at cruiserweight. However, he wasn’t able to dent the chin or body of the bigger Wallin, who took the shots well and never appeared to be in any serious trouble.”
