    Yup, very squared up.

    Needs to work on that drastically.

    I was thinking more like a Carl Froch or a Vanes Martirosyan, but Angulo also tends to come in straight forward squared up looking to land a bomb.:think

    I would pick Pimp over everybody and kovalev is 50/50 fight.

    No I didn't see Kovalev vs Beterbiev and I didn't see kovalev get rocked and run, but I did see beterbiev get badly outboxed by Usyk.

    There are no less than three up and coming Russian light heavies that most fans are not familiar with. The fans will see some epic wars in the years to come.

    Kovalev vs Betrbeiv in 2017 is the right time for them to meet. Beterbiev needs to go 10 rounds first.

    well, usyk is naturally 15-20 pounds heavier than beterbiev and holds a significant reach and height advantage. Usyk was also badly hurt by beterbiev in one of their fights and uysk himself said beteribev is the hardest puncher his faced and his faced Medzhidov

    but for this im going to use yank logic ' dis iz the pro's son, amateurs dont counts now son, aint fighting with headgear and scoring tippy tappy punches'

    When was he badly hurt? He stumbled for a second from body shot, he wasn't hurt at all , it took him like 2 seconds to recover and continue beating beterbiev. That's what I saw , unless you're talking about some other fight between them.

    Beterbiev has about 700 rounds experience in the amateurs. Stevenson has 122 rounds in the pros. Beterbiev is more experienced.
