    War both guys' mandibles! I think we all have the feeling this is going to be fun while it lasts but is destined not to last too long. Hopefully we see a few brave rises off the canvas and rallies, could be a mini-classic or FOTY candidate if so. If not, almost certainly a highlight reel KO either way.

    (of course, whenever this is said of a given match-up with absolute confidence we somehow end up getting a boring foul-laden distance affair - so let me STFU and not jinx it :sisi1)

    Beterbiev by stoppage

    The ref jumps in and saves Joe after he gets dropped and then violently stopped on the ropes.

    Either way it produces a terrific final match-up (and both semifinals are decent themselves).

    I can see the fight going the way the Gvozdyk fight went, meaning Joe will give his all, and will eventually break down under Beterbiev's power and the ref will have to step in and save Joe from his pride and stubbornness to go down.

    I like both, but I will be cheering for Joe. He will need it hehe.
