Oleksandr Gvozdyk: A Cold Soul Piercing Wind Blows From The East-The Nail Of Kharkov.

Oh great, now you baited me into watching the video.

 

Hahahahaha!!!

 

Amen to that! He certainly has the skills to beat Stevenson and then fight the winner of Ward vs Kovalev in an unification bout. Now that would be huge!

 

Size isn't everything, but it's still an advantage. Here's the height and reach of the top LHWs:

Height
1. Gvozdyk 6' 2"
2/3. Kovalev and Ward 6' 0"
4. Beterbiev 5' 11 1/2"
5. Stevenson 5' 11"

Reach
1. Stevenson 77"
2. Gvozdyk 75 1/2"
3. Beterbiev 73"
4. Kovalev 72 1/2"
5. Ward 71"

 

Stevenson gorilla reach implies that he might actually be a ****** like Kovalev once suggested.

 

I wanna see Gvozdyk vs Stevenson next, no doubt in my mind Gvozdyk knocks him out.

 

His punching technique is so sharp & crisp, aesthetically pleasing boxer to watch..

 

So since Smith-Barrera has been announced where does this leave Gvozdyk?
He needs a summer tune up, realistic options could include Salamov, Monaghan, Radivoje Kalajdzic and Australian
Trent Broadhurst.

 

Pretty good fighter. Nice combinations. Good 1-2's and 1-2-1's reminiscent of Kovalev. He likes throwing combinations though. He could be more dangerous if he works on his timing to deliver a more concentrated blow like Kov.

 

one of quite a few beasts that make Ward fans nervous

 

Lol!!!

 

Well, Gvodyk vs Ward is certainly a possibility now. I's lke to see it for Christmas.
