    can't see it, beterbiev is to one dimensional and has no head movement barrera will probably ko him, also can't see beterbiev winning a round vs ward or kovalev, his feet are too slow, mostly throws hooks at the top level he'll be sussed out for his lack of technical ability

    We will see Sullivan likes to keep active and Artur needs a dance partner
    Agree with the no head movement neither as GGG or kov to a degree

    I like Barrera. I picked him to beat Shabranskyy, but I think Beterbiev is too much for him.

    In reality, Beterbiev is ready right now to get in there with Kovalev and Ward, but has to go through this building process.

    Unfortunately guys arent falling over themselves to fight him

    If we talk head movement Barrera does not have it.He also is not that good defensively,he is easy to hit in my opinion,easy work for Beterbiev.

    pretty solid break down, think beterbiev lacks the head movement to survive barrera and the skill, barrera imo kos beterbiev maybe easy

    I don't think he kos him easily coz he will be tentative about getting caught, if Beterbiev catches him like Shabranksy did it will be all she wrote but with that being said like you said Beterbiev head movement and defense just hasn't impressed yet and barerra could capatilise on that.

    I think Beterbievs team wanted igor Mikhalkin but he turned it down to go for the Stieglitz EBU fight. Barerra is pining for the pascal fight but if he can't get that I think Barerra and Beterbiev could be a very realistic fight.

    beterbiev is not one dimensional at all lmao where does this myth come from...i suppose most boxing "fan" are blind to his skills

    the counter he landed in his last fight was sick...a counter a supposed technician like alvarez couldnt do in 10 rounds against the same opponent

    he is even some of his fans say it to, doesn't move his head, doesn't punch straight, all hooks slow hands and feet imo he'll get found out vs the best

    BS he does punch straight and is far from being slow...can also fight in both stance the guy is an elite amateur with mad skills

    just giving my opinion, i mean he hooks more than punching straight, and amateur is 3 rounds, he has alot of flaws

    Don't forget Barrera was willing to fight him in Canada but the issue with his visa prevented the fight fight later Beterviev refused to come Las Vegas to save the fight.
