    Looked like Cloud was like **** it, and just packed it in. He got hit, but he never seemed like he was on unsteady legs. More like, **** it, this dude is on my ass, I ain't doing this **** for 12 rounds.

    I thought the same thing about Ward, but didn't want to "troll it". I mean, it is pretty obvious that he won't go anywhere close to 175. Kovalev was already scary enough. Now there is Beterbiev. That is almost two bigger arguments than the ones the ring girl on the right of the announcer had tonight!

    Saw the fight on YT :scaredas: Just heard of this guy, only his 6th fight !

    Kovalev and now Beterbiev at LHW. A Sergei vs Artur bout could be an epic slugfest :bowdown

    Whilst 3 KD's in the opening round was impressive...it's even more impressive that they came within 50 seconds of each other! That included the counts! The first was with 45 seconds left, then 22 left and then 1 second (ish)!

    Cloud got absolutely steamrolled. But after just less than 2 rounds, it also appears that Beterbiev is very durable.

    I hope it doesn't become difficult for him to get opponents from here on. Can see Beterbiev taking over the division and ruling it for a while.

    After the 3rd KD when Cloud got up and the ref told him he had 10sec left in the round, he was probably thinking:

    He looks better than Ward did in his 7th. I would love to see him grow as much as Ward has.

    Kovalev-Beterbiev would be a war.

    Not sure how Beterbiev's durability comes into play with Cloud not landing anything significant upstairs.
