    Fork sake! I told you Hot Rod is huge puncher with fast rangy accurate shots and once he gets you hurt he's a vicious finisher. Most LHWs would've gone down from the initial right hands Hot Rod cracked him with

    Beterbiev vs. Kalajdzic II anyone? Hell... maybe even run this one back.

    I ****ing hate that, once again Gvozdyk pays for dicking around too much, and playing it safe. Had he gone for it against Beterbiev and Benavidez early, who knows what would've happened. This scraggly piece of **** was there for the taking and he chose to play with his food. I love The Nail, but that's always been the one thing I hate about him.

    Hes always been underrated. We all knew that after he got robbed against Browne.

    Gvozdyk had him hurt earlier in the fight, but needed to go to the body to finish him off, but hesitated too much.

    Sad to see this, it looks like the end for Gvozdyk who just turned 38.

    Jesus, wasn't expecting that. Too much bravado from Gvozdyk; since he was hurt he should have bought himself more time rather than going straight after Kalajdzic.

    Yeah he probably should have closed it out in the 6th round. But still man... Kalajdzic showed balls of steel with that rally and comeback. Did not see that coming.

    Reminds me of Bak v Kelly yesterday. For some reason there's a certain temperament of fighter that plays just a little bit too much with 'pace' and not enough with recognizing the heat of the moment. Too cerebral for their own good.

    He is tough but Hot Rod just knocked out Benavidez's best win a better harder punching version too.

    Wlad against Joshua. Had he not played it safe he 100% would have won that fight. Then he probably would have won the rematch and KO'd Wilder and maybe even Fury in a rematch before calling it a day. His already great legacy would have gone up even another level.
