    Well i have been saying for months that Yarde would win but i was wrong.However he put up a far greater fight that the majority said he would.So big up Anthony and congatulations Artur Beterbiev on your victory

    Poor Bellew is still recovering from that punch from Usyk

    I'm sorry but that's not how it works. AB would have eaten son of headbutt alive, while Kovalev clearly outpointed him.

    It is difficult to judge who is better, but Kovalev is not as much better than Beterbiev than you are implying. Both great fighters.

    Kovalev was one of my favourite fighters when he was active. His ko loss to Ward just shows the bull**** that happens behind the scenes to get the USA/A-side win. His loss to Clenelo was very suspicious, never threw a power jab once in the entire fight.

    Dude what you're talking about? Your logic is fairly delusional and idiotic. Based on your logic the harder puncher always wins ?! Wtf?

    The more muscular you are the higher % water weight and therefore the easier to cut weight and rehydrate. A guy as jacked up as Yarde could rehydrate to 200.

    Ward is nauseating as an announcer. He might as well sport a short skirt and pom pons as he always blatantly cheerleads for one type of boxer.

    What more do you want Beterbiev to do to prove he's better than Bivol?

    Idk bro, prime Beterbiev would keep coming for Kovalev like Ward did after he got knocked down in their first fight. Difference is Beterbiev can actually punch. I don't see Kovalev withstanding 12 rounds with Beterbiev. I could see Bivol doing it due to his stamina and being lighter on his feet.

    I think it goes like this -
    Bivol has a good shot at outboxing Beterbiev but loses to prime Kov
    Prime Kov loses to Beterbiev due to the pressure.

    Meanwhile we have Tank Davis landing a punch square on the back of someone’s head to finish a fight and no one says anything. Beterbiev’s punches are completely legal, like what are you even saying? That there’s a conspiracy for refs to ignore illegal punches?

    I'd prefer to use prime Beterbiev fights as a measuring stick for fantasy fights. I do think Kovalev beats Beterbiev prime for prime. But I would not be surprised if Kovalev got overwhelmed by Arturs superior strength.

    Bradley is much worse than Ward.

    Kovalev was a fantastic fighter but the fact is is he mentally imploded & couldn't keep it together, mentality & discipline are as much a part of sport as anything & Beterbiev is more consistent, he'll go down as a much better fighter when he calls time & if he beats Bivol

    Beterbiev wouldn't last that long.
