Prime Artur Beterbiev vs Murat Gassiev @ CW

You are dim. Hearn's involvement was limited to Matchroom fights under a deal which Usyk signed to get a shot at Joshua.
Only Krassyuk has any input on Usyk's decision making.

Not sure about Dorticos, but Hunter was not that big in amateur. he weighed under 200 in the ring at CW.
Usyk never lost to Beterbiev at HW, but he did lose at LHW when the size disparity was not there.

Re Usyk: Beterbiev competed at HW as an amateur AFAIK.

 

YDKSAB lol

Usyk defeated Beterbiev TWICE already in the ams. Two very underrated wins on Usyk’s resume

 

Beterbiev beat Usyk once, so the same can be said about Artur's resume.
Beterbiev also knocked out Gvozdyk in amateur boxing. But I still think that Murat Gassiev is too much for Artur.

 

Beterbiev who is much smaller than Usyk, knocked down Usyk TWICE and got robbed.

 

When Usyk was much less experienced. He is 4 years younger, in your teens that is a great gap.

Korobov beat Usyk on points stoppage but nobody thinks he could do the same in the professional ranks.

 

Using amateur experience & results as a measuring stick for the pros Is laughable at best.

 

I'm a big Beterbiev fan - but I can't make a case for him beating Gassiev. With the possible exception of David Haye, Marat hit harder than any man ever has at 200 lbs. In every LHW fight he's ever fought, Beterbiev has been clearly the stronger man (even against Yarde and Johnson) - but he wouldn't be here. I don't see him making his power-pressure style work against Marat.

 

Interesting one. Beterbiev I think is too skilled for Gassiev, Beterbiev also carries a lot of power wherever he goes - considering he has knocked Usyk down in amateurs.

Gassiev is quite powerful but he is quite far behind Beterbiev technically, and this will show in the later rounds.

I don't think size is as much of an issue as people may see. Beterbiev has beaten Hunter, Kovalev, Usyk in amateurs.

Beterbiev 11th round TKO for me.

 

Beterbiev beats him up
