    Shame for Gvosdyk, I’m a fan and I didn’t think he’d have to fight this beast. He’s going to get knocked out. At least he can talk to Usyk and get some tips, even though Beterbiev battered and bullied him as well.

    It is a risky fight, yes, but what is shameful about it? :shocked:

    There’s nothing at all shameful about it, I wasn’t expecting it but it’s one of the best fights in boxing and both guys should get all the credit in the world for making it happen.
    I’m saying that it’s a shame for a fighter as great as Gvozdyk to face and lose against Beterbiev. I’m a fan and I don’t look forward to seeing him knocked out and losing his titles. I hope he doesn’t get hurt and he can eventually regain his titles, and make some more money for his family.

    Beterbiev looks so disappointed he has to take this fight

    I'll be very nervous for Gvozdyk in this one, maybe even more nervous than in the Stevenson fight.

    On paper Gvozdyk is a handy favourite but with their history and Beterbiev's strength and power it's a very risky fight.

    Yes, Beterbiev won by breaking Gvozdyk's nose.

    He also gave big bro Usyk plenty of problems in the ams.

    @Chuck Norris, @KiwiMan some people say (it needs to be checked, I'm not sure) that they are 1-1 as amateurs. Gvozdyk won one fight as well.

    Great fight, I think Beterbiev is likely the second best at LHW (don't think he beats Bivol). I still have faith Beterbiev can still make some type of career noise despite the stalls and slowdowns.

    Great fight. I'm going with Beterbiev by freak power TKO. Dude has crazy ape strength and he's relentless. I'm super excited for this scrap.

    Beterbiev will be the winner, at least bookmakers think so, 1.72 for his win.

    I had no idea he fought Gvozdyk in the amateurs, breaking his nose and stopping him. If Gvozdyk was going to beat him anywhere it would have been in the amateurs. He’s got massive balls facing him as a pro knowing how strong he is. Gvozdyk is going to have to fight a perfect fight to win.

    Why do you make Gvozdyk a handy favourite on paper?
