Sergey Kovalev vs Artur Beterbiev - Who Wins?

Could well happen.

In a firefight between both i'd go for the guy with the better chin and i'd say that was Beterbiev.

 

#SkillsPayTheBills

Beterbiev is being overated fast. he has shown to me, hes not an outside fighter, he would be outboxed there by a top guy. he hasnt got great headmovement, hes quite upright and his speed is below kovalevs. Ill say beterbiev would brutalise stevenson but i can see kovalev doing a job on him. Its a long way since the amateur days, smaller gloves no headguards, beterbiev wont be able to walk kovalev down like hes done the rest. I do like how when people are hyping fighters they completely forget the strengths of the champion and the more established fighter.

 

Too early to talk about this fight, but I will say this: Beterbiev has a ****in noggin on him. Gonna be hard to put that dude away.

 

Beterbiev will land and will hurt Kovalev, who's chin have been proven to be shaky. It all comes to this. Kovalev have a better foot work, which would make him pull a decision, but that fight would not go to the judge score card.

 

Agreed, there's going to be bombs flying from both and i think Kovalev can only win this by decision whereas Beterbiev would probably win by KO.

The talk is that Beterbiev is struggling to make 175lbs and can only do it for a few more fights so his team are going to throw him in against Kovalev next year.

 

Beterbiev too big, too strong. Kovalev is an excellent champion but his chin is going to let him down against Beterbiev.

 

Now? Kovalev. 2-3 years down the line? IDK.
