    You know Callum Johnson is a big puncher right? Look at his record.

    Beterbiev got back up and finished Johnson.

    Yarde got knocked out by a jab.

    Yet Yarde has the better chin?

    If Yarde faced Beterbiev tonight, he would not have seen beyond round 6.

    Callum Johnson is levels below Kovalev. Beterbiev would not find a way past Kovalev’s jab.

    Yarde-Beterbiev is a good, 50-50 kind of match up.

    Not after this and even prior he needs more tread on his wheels AKA experience

    He will do well but needs some polishing

    Beterbiev has already beaten Kovalev in the amateurs. TWICE.

    He has also beaten Gvozdyk in the amateurs. TWICE.

    Tell me how Beterbiev doesn't get past jabs again please.......

    Maybe Krusher should tell Canelo to bring a belt to the table first like Big Red told GGG:stirrpot

    Athletes have different fibre type composition, and stamina generally improves with age due to training experience and decline in fast twitch fibres (so proportionally more slow twitch fibres).

    Lol at the people saying Kovalev is shot because they don’t like Yarde. They both looked good.

    You improve vastly from the amatuers if you become an elite pro, no comparison.

    That could easily be flipped.. what about SKs chin? He's been hurt by lighter punchers than Beterbiev..

    & what's so great about Yardes chin? He just got smashed.. He was laid out by what was basically little more than a jab from a 36 year old:

    Kovalevs reflexex & explosiveness are faded now, anyone with half a brain can see it.. He's past his sell by date.. he's just (like many great fighters) good enough to prolong it somewhat with a solid game plan, good trainer, a refined style & years of ring craft & experience to fall back on..

    Beterbiev is a dangerous fight for him.. I don't think it would end well

    Yes, pretty smart move, you have no freaking money and you kill the money cow. You need to be a complete idiot to do that.

    When you, gtards, will understand that when you spend your whole career fighting nobodies in germany, you are nobody.

    Looking forward to seeing kovalev doing that, it will be funny as hell to watch him begging on the streets.

    :lol: Beterbiev would smash Yarde to bits. This version of Kovalev couldn't even drop or seriously hurt Mikhalkin or Alvarez and he had 19 rounds to achieve it against the later. Beterbiev hits harder than a prime Krusher and that's really saying something, let alone this version of him, and is much closer to his prime than him too. Kovalev gets smashed to pieces too by Artur.
