    The Nail takes it inside the distance after some scary moments here and there. TKO within 10. Footwork and movement along with what is now the best weapon at 175... his pin point right hand. Those will prove too much for Artur. This win will put Gvozdyk in the top 5 PFP imo. Oleksandr will have two of the most significant wins (Legitimate) at 175 in the last 4 years. And he’ll have earned them without corruption or fouls.

    until the 11th round I wasn't very impressed with Gvosdyk vs Stevenson. I'm not on the Koolaid that espn is thinking gvosdyk isn't that good. but I agree he doesn't let go unless he thinks for sure he can land punches. the only thing is Beterbiev is so wild because everyone that fights him gets discouraged from boxing and they go for broke.

    Lol, why? The two best light heavies or Beterbiev against a guy who should be retired, who would’ve been knocked out by Beterbiev even in his prime?

    They have rivalry going back to their amateur days, they cannot stand each other. And Kovalev is still the best current light heavyweight if he takes the fight seriously and bothers to train, something he didn't do against Alvarez the first time. As for Kovalev - Beterbiev I would still favor Kovalev in that fight.

    That would be a great fight. I think Gvozdyk is the superior boxer but both of them can knock each other out, so I think this would be a don't blink or you'll miss it fight.

    Unfortunately, it looks like Mike Coppinger is full of ****. Nothing is "being finalized".
    At best, there are some very early negotiations going on...
