I agree, but he isnt. Which is precisely my point. He is underrated. If he was American, Mexican or British he would be the 2nd coming of Jesus in the boxing media.
Beterbiev is a mauling fighter. we saw against Gvozdyk that Artur was ragdolling him in the clinches and on the break Gvozdyk was flailing all over the place, often times with his head down, body turned, etc. He was exposing the back of his head. It's a product of Beterbiev's physical style. Gvozdyk is an out fighter. Once Beterbiev got inside there was nothing for him. The only thing the guy could do was right hand from long range. In the 6th round, Gvozdyk landed a peach of a right cross and snapped Beterbiev's head back and Artur's legs barely even buckled. It was at that point Gvozdyk knew he was about to get the beatdown of a lifetime. The tsunami then came. This was the most savage beatdown of a prime elite fighter in recent memory.

It's never been Beterbiev denying the fight, now that he is way older i hope they at least make the fight now with Bivol.
