You guys gonna just ignore the fact that Beterbiev walks straight in with no head movement and no jab? He'd be eating Stevenson's pimp hand all night.
no they dont. but being starched by boone with 1 punch, means you havent got the chin to survive beterbiev. And i got 50/50 kovalev vs stevenson. so i do rate stevenson as a huge puncher.
Arthur KO'd Dorticos and Mchunu in the Ams and walk right thru Usyk T Pulev and Atoev punches who I'm pretty sure hits harder than a blown up SMW. He'd destroy the ****** with ease.
If stevenson had a quality jab or a right hook, id give him the edge due to experience. the pimp is a one trick pony.
People trying to justify Kovalev having a good jaw. Ffs!!! It's clear as day that Stevenson AND Kovalev have abysmal glass jaws and 1 shot from either man will end the fight. Kovalev's jaw is glass, pure unadulterated CHINA. Same with Stevenson!
So far Stevenson is proven and Beterbiev has not really made his bones yet. So I pick Stevenson at this point. However, I would enjoy watching Beterbiev make his bones using Stevenson's skeleton.
Beterbiev knocks Stevenson out. Dawson has a glass jaw, Ward knocked him down a couple of times. Beterbiev is virtually a cruiserweight, if Fonfara can take Stevenson's shots for 12 rounds, I'm willing to believe Beterbiev can too. However, I doubt it goes 12 because Stevenson is packing glass himself, he'll get ragdolled.
