That's true. :smile: But probably to SMW.
Let's rather say that Kovalev of five years ago would stand a good chance (almost a 50/50 fight) against Beterbiev.
Kovalev has no chance vs. such Beterbiev. Sergey can end up in a hospital after that fight...
He proved that he's good not only inside, though. In many episodes tonight he was beating Gvozdyk fighting from the outside. And Beterbiev is...
Beterbiev is a better boxer. A fact. He was better tonight and it's a shame he wasted so many years of his professional career doing little....
It looks like Gvozdyk is done... :shocked:
Beterbiev is somehow able to hit Gvozdyk with his jab. Time and time again.
Even Gvozdyk is tired of waiting already....
Not so difficult if Canelo wants a rematch. :smile:
But Pascal became the new lineal champion (fighting for the vacant title), after Erdei had vacated it.
If Kovalev beats Canelo, it still will be possible. Even if Beterbiev loses tonight.
There are four (good) champions. But the winner of tonight's fight will be declared the best LHW, most probably.
Fights like this will hardly bring new fans to the sport...
And Abdukakhorov is lucky about that...
Too much movement from Abdukakhorov and he sits on his punches. He might get tired soon.
