Gene Tunney vs Beterbiev

You have an anti-Tunney app on your phone as well as the anti-Marciano app? Getting crowded in there.

 

I have repeatedly ranked Marciano as a top 3 head to head fighter 200 lbs. and under. I picked him over Dempsey today.

I am in the process of formulating the walking back of my whisky-influenced comments on Tunney. Stay tuned.

 

Tunney UD

 

OK. Tunney was a great, great lightheavy. He looks marvelous on film.

I do find it odd he never fought a brother but I am going to give him a 50% chance in this one,.

There.

 

Tunney will close one of Beterbiev's eyes before this one is done, he's a skill level above

 

It's his job to p*** you off...remember that.

 

Not sure about Beterbiev at all. He looks pretty damn solid and formidable but so did Kovalev for a fair run too and his stocks have fallen pretty dramatically it’s fair to say.

Tunney was a bit of a game changer skills wise at least from the earlier filmed guys we’ve seen. He looks pretty damn good. Plus his resume is very good despite the total absence of the best coloured fighters as Seamus mentions. That’s a cross against his name but we can’t ignore the quality he beat despite of this.

I’ll pick Tunney based on his filmed efforts, his track record and his clear ability but we have to bare in mind Artur is a relative novice who could be anything or a footnote.

 

Tunney frustrates and outboxes the relentless (but predictable) Beterbiev for a UD.

And, as strong as Beterbiev is, he doesn't exactly have an iron chin. He has been down or wobbled in several of his fights. (And he hasn't even fought 20 times). I envision a decision in this fight. But, if anyone is stopped, it would likely be Beterbiev.

 

Paul Samuelson (an American Nobel laureate) once said: “When my information changes, I alter my conclusions.”

Well done, sir. You've reviewed the data, and changed your opinion accordingly. The world would be a better place if everyone
did the same.

 

Tunney is exactly the type of fighter that would beat Beterbiev. At light heavy Tunney had some good power as well, there could be a late rounds stoppage, almost surely would be in 15 rounds

 

Tunney by wide UD.Berbetiev is overrated

 

Tunney chips away and then crushes him. 10 count.
