Gassiev: Shabranskyy had no chance

“The fight showed that Sergey was in great shape. Kovalev has proved once again that he is one of the best fighters in the world and got the belt. Shabranskyy almost had no chance. Now in this weight there is a very interesting situation where belts are owned by excellent boxers, and three out of four are Russians who want to fight with the best rivals and unify division. If Adonis Stevenson also are the part of the equation then we all in 2018 may very well expect wonderful fights! Personally, I would like to see a fight between Kovalev and Stevenson because this fight is expected for several years. Kovalev, Bivol, Beterbiev and Stevenson. If we can have a Super series in this weight the next year - what could be better for the fans?”
