Ok..... Imagine Kovalev and Beterbiev slugging it out like Pascal and Kovalev did. Dont think Kovalev walks out of that one. If Pascal can catch him flush and stagger Kovalev, Artur is sending him to sleep.
Pascal is far quicker and far more unorthodox in his attack, Beterbiev doesn't possess those attributes so that scenario most likely won't play out.
You mom told me to tell you hi. She would have told you herself but her mouth is full at the moment...
And classless repugnant pile of s*** to my above comments, you're a worthless smarmy piece of garbage, your a very small man and your insecurities when faced with real men like GGG and Kovalev couldn't be more apparent.
Not to mention I've never seen home doing anything resembling counter punching in any of his fights. He goes back in straight lines like sillakh, and won't throw until he resets from the defensive posture. Kovalev would steamroll him at this juncture. He needs to beat the timid TITLIST, Adonis the hoe superbiitch, then defend against some decent chinned fighters to test him some. Show he can fight backing up
This what worries me about Kovalev in this match-up. He MUST box with Beterbiev; trading with him would be a tremendous mistake. It's Kovalev's fight to win or lose in my opinion. I think if he uses the correct strategy, he's got this one in the bag. If he doesn't, then he'll be destroyed. Hopefully the bad blood over their previous encounters in the AMs won't lead Sergey to fighting the wrong fight. Beterbiev will be the hardest puncher Kovalev's faced since turning Pro. However, the reverse of the previous statement is also true. There's no headgear like the Amateurs. Either guy can send the other to dream land.
This fight would be gruesome - and I mean that in the best possible way. I don't care that Beterbiev only has 9 fights - we all know this would be spectacular. Either someone gets knocked out or it could be the kind of fight that changes both guys.
That's why this fight would've been more interesting if Beterbiev had more fights to iron some things out. At this stage, Kovalev is an even bigger favorite.
If beterbiev accepts that fight he's dumb. He needs still more experience, at least 4-5 fights more. That at least. Experience makes A LOT in the ring.
Because the guy with 9 professional fights is the second best LHW and will not ask for as much money as prima-donna Stevenson.
I think that's because he knows that probably it will be much harder to beat him later on, if not impossible, so he tries to do the job now that he can.
