Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2017-10-21, nice finish between Murat Gassiev and Krzysztof Wlodarczyk: it gets three stars.The undefeated Ibf Cw champion Murat Gassiev entered this fight with a perfect boxing record of 24-0-0 (17 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.4 cruiserweight in the world (currently the #1 in this division is Oleksandr Usyk). He fought twice last year defeating Jordan Shimmell (4-stars fight, Gassiev vs Shimmell) and Denis Lebedev (=Lebedev vs Gassiev).
His opponent, the former Ibf and Wbc Cw champion Krzysztof Wlodarczyk, has an official record of 53-3-1 (37 knockouts) and he entered as the No.13 in the same weight class. ‘Diablo’ Wlodarczyk suffered his last loss when he faced Grigory Drozd in 2014 (=Wlodarczyk vs Drozd) but then he has won four bouts beating Leon Harth and Noel Gevor in his last two (=Wlodarczyk vs Gevor). Gassiev vs Wlodarczyk is valid for the IBF World cruiserweight title (Gassiev’s first defense). Watch the video and rate this fight!

A hella of a body shot.
I would have preferred it went into at least the 6th. But oh well.
Great quick feint too just before the finishing combo!
Feint with the left hook downstairs, Wlodarczyk lowers his elbow. Hook to the head, Wlodarczyk moved his guard back up. Hook to the liver. 10/10!
