    Beterbie's win over Gvozdik I think is one of the most valuable wins in professional boxing; currently.

    Beterbiev is obviously a superb boxer and he also seems like a fairly likeable bloke outside the ring. I'll be rooting for him to smash up his next opponent.

    Signs of a dying sport when the best are all well past athletic prime.

    I chose a random round, Beterbiev landed 7 rabbit punches alone. Then he landed around 10 rabbit punches in the 9th. But fine... lie to yourself, that he won that match fair and square and that he wasn't intentionally targeting the back of Gvozdyk's head. I mean, Gvozdyk had bruising in the back of his brain and came damned close to a brain bleed. But whatever.... denial is your middle name. You'll refuse to acknowledge any of this, as always.

    Yarde will not even survive the first half of the fight, Beterbiev will knock him out cold in 4 rounds...

    I'm a big Beterbiev fan but even I won't deny that many of his shots are very dubious.

    I do think with the mauling style he has it is somewhat inevitable though. He is committed to the (temple) punch and his opponent grabs and ducks down - end result is a rabbit punch.

    Indeed. I actually think Gvozdyk was better than Bivol. Bivol might be more of a stylistic challenge for Beterbiev but Gvozdyk could really punch as well as box.

    Kovalev also thinks Beterbiev will win inside 6.

    He & Atlas said it was only a concussion no brain bleed or bruising at least that i could find,

    where did you hear this? even Gvozdyk in his few interviews never mentioned anything about brain bruising, the beating he took in that fight was severe in itself head on, in fact they always said everything was fine with him after the hospital checkup & was reported as a minor concussion at that.

    He bent the knee 3 times in the 10th round and quit with most of his faculties in tact.

    Bivol might be a more stylistically challenging fighter for Beterbiev, but to be completely honest, Gvozdyk is probably the better fighter against a field of LHWs than Bivol. And I'd pick Gvozdyk to beat Bivol.

    You cant blame Beterbiev when the opponent is on ice skates, off balance and ducking down the whole fight.

    It reminds me of Loma Rigo. The guy was holding and ducking his head down the entire night. So punch the mother****er in the head then. Its that simple. You dont want any shots to the back of the head? Then stand up straight, put your gloves up and fight like a man.
