    Beterbiev will beat Gvozdyk tonight. OP question is irrelevant. The question should be Gvozdyk or Gassiev.

    I'm taking Gvozdyk. Skills pay the bills and I think he is the more skilled of the two. Granted, this is a close call and with Beterbiev's power anything could happen.

    Lmao... imagine thinking that a win over Gassiev is better than a win against Beterbiev regardless of the circumstances :risas3::risas3::risas3: this dude literally knows 0 about boxing.

    I disagree completely. Beterbiev had a tendency to wing his punches early in his pro career causing him to go off balance. He since corrected that and has been able to fire off hard hitting combinations while maintaining proper balance like we saw vs Prieto.

    Ye you do know I picked Beterbiev to beat Gvozdyk don't you after timer.. that this discussion was simply posing pre fight hypotheticals & factors that could come into play in a particular outcome.. but it turned out my overall hunch was right & they didn't.. pondering intangibles & differing scenarios doesn't make me clueless, it makes me thoughtful.

    Gassiev would have been a better win if Beterbiev had of come up short here.. He'd be known for losing to a guy who beat Stevenson (a win you've pulled apart & dumped on already) & little else.. whereas Gassiev was unified champion who had beat the likes of Dorticos who recently tore your man crush Tabiti a new one..

    You got a pick right. Well done. Your gloating overreaction on the board shows how badly you must have needed one.

    Easy ;)

    :risas3: Like I said, regardless of the circumstance, even of Gvozdyk won, the fact that you can't tell the level difference between Beterbiev and Gassiev just tells us all we need to know about your boxing knowledge.
    Easy ;)
