For the life of me, I wish I could find that article. I'm curious to see what Beterbiev actually said.
What leads you to that conclusion? I may have missed a recent fight of his, but has he reacted badly to any shots?
Yeah, Beterbiev-Kovalev aren't exactly on "good terms", there's been some exchanges between the two last year. So yeah, it's quite expected for him to pick Ward really regardless of anything.
I know Rico is part of Zakman's old guard chin club. But all I ever see him posting are about guys who have "glass chins" - and in many cases, the boxers he's critical of actually have pretty decent, and sometimes even very good chins! But I have missed at least one of Beterbiev's recent fights, so I wasn't sure if maybe I was unaware of some key information. But I found it strange, because I don't remember anyone else ever writing something so dismissive of Beterbiev's chin.
I get that. I still wish I could see his actual quote. My app literally crashed when I was about to read his take on the fight - and honestly, I'm not even sure if he actually DID pick Ward. For all I know he picked Kovalev.
Beterbiev would starch KKKovalev. KKKovalev doesn't like black people so maybe he doesn't like Muslims either.
Finally found it. All that searching for this?!?!?!?! Artur Beterbiev, light heavyweight contender Andre Ward PTS 12 Sergey Kovalev: Ward will win a decision. He is an integral boxer with a lot of experience in that kind of mega fight.
Beterbiev should have fought Kovalev when he was given the opportunity. His career is being wasted by fighting bum after bum.
Very few of my posts have to do with Chins. Beterbiev was put down by Jeff Page who is feather fisted and an awful fighter. This guy is a total hype job with no Chin.
Beterbiev hates Kovalev.............Roger Mayweather picks Kovalev to knock Ward out....................
