Artur Asilbekovich Beterbiev vs Oleksandr Sergeevich Gvozdyk next Friday!

No. His nose was broken before the tournament. He went there to fight Beterbiev with a broken nose, but Beterbiev beat the **** ouf of him and the ref stopped the fight in the second round because of a one-sided beatdown which caused a heavy bleeding from Gvozdyks nose. Btw, i didn't write he scored a Knockout, i wrote he will score another stoppage like he did it in the amateurs. And a stoppage is a stoppage. Either by one sided beatdown or by brutal KO.

 

Exactly. Zero. But i didn't wrote anything else. I only said it'll happen again. Not it'll happen again because it happened 10 years ago in the amateurs. Big difference imo.

 

Gvozdyk is more than capable of stopping Beterbiev. Beterbiev's chin is weak, IMO, and his defense sucks.

I'm kind of biased, though, because I just don't think Beterbiev is all that good.

 

They don't believe in the lineal championship. And, because of that, I highly doubt the Ring belt will be on the line. Only the unified champion (or at least the three belts holder) will receive it.

 

The fight was stopped (between the rounds, not by the ref) because Gvozdyk's nose started bleeding profusely and they were unable to stop the bleeding.

 

Callum Johnson's a better win than anyone on Gvozdyk's resume

 

I don't see any differences between them and their pro career experience. Both guys haven't faced world class competition yet. Stevenson is near world class but was shot and simply too old. He only brought power into that fight but was gassing bad late and stopped. Chilemba is a decent fringe contender and tough but always lost while stepping up. If a world class guy is fighting Chilemba the question is not if Chilemba can win but if the world class guy can stop Chilemba. Gvozdyk - like so many guys - wasn't able to do this.

Beterbiev fought some really dangerous guys in Kalajdzic and Johnson recently. Johnson is a Top 5 puncher at 175 and Kalajdzic besides his really good power a very decent boxer aswell who beat Marcus Browne. I do rate them both much higher than names like Ngumbu, Amar, Baker, Karpency or Mohammedi. So considering Beterbiev has 3 less fights than Gvozdyk i think his last two meetings were much tougher than all of Gvozdyks fights apart from Stevenson. If Beterbiev "has been feasting on guys who were made to order for him", than what is about Gvozdyk? Come on...Mohammedi, Amar, Ngumbu, Baker, Gonzalez? "Gvozdyk has been feasting on guys who were made to order for him" fits aswell.

But i agree with you anyway. It's not like this is a 70/30 fight or something. It's more or less 50/50 but my gut simply telling me that AB will take it. You're favoring Gvozdyk because your gut tells you. Fair.

 

Oh dear...a smart aleck.

1. No, the fight was stopped at the beginning of Round 2.
2. The fight was stopped by the ref means the ref stopped the fight finally. Not necessarily that it was his decision alone.
3. I ALREADY WROTE IT WAS DUE TO A BLEEDING. Why you're repeating something that i have already wrote? Useless.
4. Thanks for this useless posting just to post something. But at least you received Two LIKES. LMFAO!

 

Ok, I've just rechecked it. The fight was stopped in the second round indeed. You're right about that.

How do you know that "the ref stopped the fight in the second round because of a one-sided beatdown..."? Have you watched the fight?
I haven't. The information is extremely limited.

 

I told you. And i was right. You came across and were exposed. I told you it was an one-sided beatdown and you're not believing me again.
It was an one-sided beatdown, i watched the fight and Gvozdyk was hanging at the ropes most of the time covering up and Beterbiev beat him up in there. Believe me or not. As i wrote before: The amateur fight in Turkey 10 years ago has no meaning towards the pro fight next weekend. I was just referring to it because i see the same outcome. But not because it happened once before. I already wrote that.
