This content is protected Beterbiev looked considerably better 5 years ago. So how would Gvozdyk from 2020 do against the Beterbiev from 2025? Do you think prime Gvozdyk can beat a 40 year old Beterbiev or is Bivol just so much better than Gvozdyk was? What did Bivol do vs Beterbiev that was better than Gvozdyk?
Gvozdyk was very, very good. He just wasn't as durable as Beterbiev. Prime Gvozdyk could absolutely have beaten old Beterbiev.
Beterbiev from 2nd Bivol fight is a monster. He again dominated Bivol in round 4, 5, 6, 10, 12. Especially 12th round in the 2nd fight was a nightmare for Bivol, Beterbiev almost knocked him out. Beterbiev in both Bivol fights is savage and absolutely much tougher than his former self. It's obvious he prepared like never before for undisputed fights. Beterbiev from 2nd Bivol fight destroys Gvozdyk in 5.
It was 4-4 after 8 rounds but Beterbiev broke Gvozdyk in the 9th and finished him in the 10th. Beterbiev, even if slightly faded, had a lot left vs Bivol and probably still would have beaten prime Gvozdyk.
