    Beterbiev will be fighting in Fonfara's backyard in June, against a common opponent at that.

    Both are Haymon fighters (RIP Ms Reva).

    Fonfara's got some momentum and could be lined up for a Stevenson rematch by Uncle Al... or lined up as a stepping stone for Beterbiev.

    Assuming the latter, how do you see the fight go?

    I think you meant to say in which round do we see Beterbiev KO'ing Fonfara? 4th.

    Beterbiev wins by brutal, earth shattering KO.

    I don't see anyone beating Beterbiev and Usyk at LHW and CW.

    I don't know man, there's a small crowd on here who think Beterbiev is overrated in terms of boxing skills. Put that together with Fonfara boxing very well against Junior and you have a fight.

    Personally, unless it's Kovalev in front of Beterbiev I think most of his fights are going to be KOs happening in the first three rounds.

    Would be a good fight to see where Beterbiev stands.

    Beterbiev wins. Fonfara is tough but hes not that great.

    People over-emphasise the Stevenson fight. He had a couple of good rounds,and was beaten by a wide margin on the cards.

    People talk about it like it was a close fight, it really wasnt

    Kovalev is more likely to get stopped in the first three rounds than Fonfara

    Fonfara has a great chin while Kovalev has a glass chin :lol:

    That giraffe neck, though. :!:

    What evidence do you have regarding Kovalev's chin?

    I remember him taking a few big shots flush on the chin in the 1st or 2nd round against White (who could bang a little) but I may be mistaken...

    Fonfara was steamrolled and knocked out by Findley :lol:

    On what basis are you saying he has a great chin?

    He seemed pretty shook up by Pascal who is far from a big puncher

    Glass chin Bute took everything Pascal had for 12 rounds fairly easily

    In lead up to the Pascal fight he was allegedly dropped a few times by sparring parters

    Plus I remember some poster mentioned how he insulted a fan of his for suggesting that he hasn't taken big shots yet in the pros

    Chin insecurities suggest poor chin :lol:
