Red Dawn: The Eastern European Era of Domination Has Commenced-Witness The Revolution

I don't agree, Beterbiev is a more skilled fighter in his style of fighting than Sadam is in his. There's more to boxing skills than just counterpunching off the backfoot.

Moreover, the overall package matters more than just "skills", and Beterbiev has got that equalizer with his freakish strength and power.

 

Good stuff boys we can agree to disagree no use in trying to convince each other otherwise. You have your preferences I respect that though to say Beterbiev is way more skilled tells me there's a hint of biased involved skill can be determined and defined in many different ways however versitily, footwork, movement, speed all play a huge factor when creating a sound boxer. Ali overall has more layers in his game than Beterbiev plain and simple. I forget my audience in this particular forum/thread might be somewhat partial to certain types of fighters so I apologize in advance if I'm offending anyone but being around boxing my entire life I know skills when I see it. We have to remember we probably come from different schools regarding the fight game so taking that into account I can see why you view things the way you do. Peace

 

Ok, you said footwork and movement. Sadam specializes in countering whilst moving backwards whereas Beterbiev is a pressure fighter, these are two different types of footwork, one is offensive and the other is defensive, neither of the two are superior it's just a matter of styles.

Now in my honest opinion, Beterbiev's offensive footwork is more impressive than Sadam's defensive footwork. Just an opinion.

Timing beats speed, it's far more important to consider that than just looking at plain speed and flashiness when trying to assess the fighter's skill level.

And you do not win olympic gold medals without being skilled, that's for sure. Beterbiev makes complicated things look easy, his defense is not flashy but it's effective, neither is his footwork but he's very skilled at doing what he does.

Of course had to pull out the "biased" card didn't you, for a simple difference in opinion, it simply can't be so that I without being partial think that Beterbiev is a more skilled fighter, no that's just impossible. We're not talking about Mayweather here.

 

Sadam Ali is crearly several levels above Lomachenko skill wise as well. Nevermind basic stiff robots like Beterbiev.

 

Understood good post

The biased comes from the supposed vast difference in skill level they have their particulars subtle differences I just don't see this huge gap in skill set...it just isn't true.

 

Are you trolling two gonans?

 

Not at all. Sadam Ali makes Loma look like a stiff Euro robot. Any Murican can clearly see that!

 

Lol I respectfully disagree

Lomo is awesome but unproven in my opinion at the pro ranks I look forward to what he can bring. Sadam Ali, Crawford and Pedraza I quite enjoy the way the operate slick skilled boxers who engage

 

Trolling for sure lmfao

 

Well I never said there was a huge gap in skillset, I do think Beterbiev is more skilled, but I said Beterbiev is levels above him as a fighter in general, that's taking everything into account not just boxing skill.

 

Well Beterbiev is using his God given natural blessings while Ali in my opinion has a broader bag of tricks because he needs to, he's a good puncher but he doesn't have a awesome equalizer like Beterbiev. Both are fighters that just execute different based on their physical attritibes/advantages.

 

Lomo has a handful of fights in the pro level this the reason why I'm waiting to see what he can bring on a consistent basis.....not sure what's so illogical about that....Ali and Pedraza and especially Crawford have more rounds in the bag on a pro level no need to antogonize me bully lmao
