Is Beterbiev starting to look more feared man than Kovalev?

    I think nobody wants no part of Artur Beterbiev right now. That guy looks like a tank monster there in the ring. Much more feared than Kovalev now.

    Kovalev will want him. He's been grousing on about how Artur's wins over him in the am's were bad judging.

    Of course, Kovalev wants a rematch with Ward even more, so ...

    Kovalev is probably the better all-round fighter. I rate Beterbiev and think if he keeps up his manhandling and really makes that his 'thing', he could be unbeatable but it remains to be seen if he's going to do this or not.

    The IBF contenders don't want to fight him, and Beterbiev wants that IBF title.

    Did you watch the Fight? Different people will watch that fight and come away with different impressions but I don't think anybody would come away thinking "Sergi got has ass kicked".

    He's definitely a fierce 175er. But I think Kovalev is just as respected if not more so. Even though I do think Beterbiev hits a little harder.

    If you stand in close or trade with this guy you are getting iced. His ring IQ is high too but you won't see it as he has fight ending power in both hands.

    It'll take a puncher to make him stop 'his manhandling'... it's almost as if he's doing a similar demonstration to Golovkin's non-respect of his opponent's power (Munroe, Wade, Brook, Macklin). He'll get behind his jab and work to get inside -as opposed to rush in and get hit in the process- when he faces a Kovalev, Stevenson, Smith/Fonfara/Barrera to a degree.

    Firstly Povetkin never took "steroids" and secondly he never failed the test prior to the Wilder fight.

    Wilder took a quick exit to fight ATG'S Arreola and now the horizontal Pole.

    Beterbievs fans have been claiming he could smash Kovalev for forever. Beterbievs hype is nothing new.
