Agree here. I'd also add, Ward woud likely go down in flames against Beterbiev too. Beterbiev would love to get Ward at close range.
It's a fight Ward simply cant win.... Ward's strong on the inside, but against Beter it would be like a goat against a bear
Absolutely but most of Ward tactics will not work against Beterbiev. The man is just too strong on the inside.
He doesnt have the power to deter Beter Artur has the amateur pedigree too. This is no novice in with a great boxer for the first time. There's not a style hes not seen Ward's best offence/defence is in close. Without being able to nip in there and tie him up, Sergey would have knocked Andre out in no time. Sergey's a brutal mid to long range power puncher boxer Artur prefers dishing out his brutality in a phone booth There's not a chance in hell Andre could survive against Artur (no chance of the fight ever happening either though so fear not Dre fans)
id still think kovalev beats beterbiev, whilst stevenson gets murdered by artur, however im honest to say that kovalev may struggle with stevenson.
Fair enough Lep - Kovalev may well have what it takes to beat Beterbiev But those two are so far above Chickenson it's ridiculous
ye true, now ive seen kovalev beat ward, id say the one trick pony stevenson has nothing for kovalev. and based on styles, beterbiev would just get inside the pocket and ko him in 2-3 rounds.
Artur would have to get inside on both of them. Despite his savage power, Kovalev is cautious, springy and fast of reflex. Artur would have trouble pinning him against a turnbuckle and unloading his terrible 1 inch power punches Beter has no problem with a plodding sloth like Adonis or an inside fighter like Ward, but he will have trouble with his polar opposite in Kovalev - a man who's fleet of foot and dishes out his brutal punches at mid to long range Ward and Chicken fade into insignificance when compared with these two Russian mosnters
Barrera has already ducked Beterbiev multiple times and Pascal is still shell shocked from Kovalev. If that Murican fraud Marcus Browne had any pride he would jump at this fight to prove the Kalajdzic fight was an anomoly.
What a shame the 175 monsters are so unheard of We literally have two Tysons in the same division at the same time PEDdrainer and IVrunner did a great job of killing casuals interest in boxing Maybe its a bigger issue now - boxing must shift from being an American $$$$$$$ sport into a worldwide one Theres a ton of money to be made in the UK. Froch Groves 2 (80,000 - @Wembley) and GGG Brook (sold out 20,000 tickets in 11 mins) proved that. There was so much excitement to see "the Polish Mike Tyson" over here Sure on the night people were mad for Brook to win, but at the same time in awe of Gennady These Russians dont play. No weight draining, no catchweight. Just get in and fight. If he gets KOd, he gets KOd
