    Styles make fights, I predicted Ryder would beat him, precisely due to Ryder being a compact southpaw, with damned fine defense, who it's borderline near impossible to land clean straight rights and left hooks on. Who's brilliant at inside fighting against taller opponents. Beterbiev is none of those things.

    I think these awkward brawlers cause Beterbiev more issues than Bivol will though. He's getting older but I think the class, style and physical advantages will still end up prevailing. Many were saying the exact same thing after Browne and then were left to pause after he did a demolition job on Joe Smith jr.

    Prime Beterbiev vs Prime Kovalev?? Who’s better in your opinion?

    I got prime Krusher by a little

    Buatsi is an Olympic medalist, and in my opinion more sophisticated than Yarde. He beats Yarde.

    Good that you didn't make the same mistake again and pick against Beterbiev.

    If he goes undisputed he should retire imo.
    Whats good Coop. I think P4P Kov but Beterbiev beats Kov. Just a bad style for Krusher.

    possibly. Buatsi doesn’t have any pop however but I suppose he could evade and frustrate.

    Smith's tactics were suicidal in that one though. He played right into Beterbiev's hands. The Beterbiev of a few years ago would've been too strong, relentless and powerful for Bivol but the later stands a much better chance against this aged version of Beterbiev.

    Look at Povetkin's decline. He declined from fight to fight in the twilight of his career and that's how I see it going for Beterbiev.

    I came close.:sisi1 But I figured he'd do like he did against Kovalev, hurt him, follow up, but not be able to get Beterbiev out of there.

    But I gave context, so why would I mention Johnson when I specifically talked about every fight Beterbiev has SINCE then.

    Gotcha. I hear you there. Plus Beterbiev did seem to have Sergey’s number in the ams. Who the hell knows. Would have been a war.

    AB would watch videos I'd assume and he'd incorporate what Gorilla did, minus the south paw, plus what Canelo did. I can't see Smith doing anything, or adapting anything that would trouble AB.
