    Not me, quite frankly I can't stand watching Fury fight. I'm merely pointing out, for a dominant killing machine that knocks out most of his opponents, Beterbiev is oddly dispassionate and dull. AJ is similar in that respect. Just because someone is a KO artist, it doesn't make them enjoyable to watch.

    How is he dull. He is in entertaining fights.

    Aside from his match against Callum Johnson, name me one truly thrilling Beterbiev match. And no, the match against Gvozdyk wasn't thrilling. If anything it was a nervous tactical competitive chess match, that managed to end in an underwhelming TKO.

    He hasnt been in a 5 star fight, but most fighters haven't. You need to be pushed to have a thrilling fight. Johnson dropped him and Beterbiev had to get off his ass to win the fight. Hes never had a snoozer.

    It's not his fault that everyone of his fights are him clinically dissecting the opponent. It's a systematic annihilation. There is a method and strategy to the attack with the end goal of forcing a stoppage.

    I think they sleep on that and actually become enamored with his power and overlook certain things.
    He's a very smart boxer as well as being a huge puncher.

    I wouldn't get too excited over Beterbiev's performance. Smith was tailor-made for him.

    If Beterbiev fight Bivol within one year frow now he will crush him before the 10th round. Mark my words. But the more time it takes to make the fight, the more Chances Bivol will win .

    He was already out and stopping fighting at that point, because Kovalev was bending over trying to get out of the fight of course it slipped down with that angle

    That makes no sense, he touched the canvas and the rope held him up at least once, after the stoppage he was also doing the Zab Judah all over the ring.

    He absolutely can cut off the ring better than GGG. Bivol is a nothing boxer, you’ll see

    Where else do you punch when you have guys just shelling up? The options Beterbiev uses are there for everyone else to use as well, is every other fighter just too clean and noble to do it?
