Win Methods
"[[Iron people". That's what they call Murat Gassiev, and sits on the heavyweight throne, the pride of Russia. Getting there took 34 wins; staying there is the hard part, and so far nobody has an answer.
The style is simple and terrifying: 79% of his wins never reach the scorecards. When he touches people, they fall — 27 knockouts and counting.
He arrives on a 4-fight win streak — most recently Peter Kadiru, TKO R6. Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
