Usyk (Bredis fight) vs Beterbiev (Gvosdyk) fight at cruiserweight

Close thread!

 

Usyk by a clear decision but there would be bumps along the way, Artur likely has P4P power

 

Usyk on points, better in every way other than power.

 

Usyk by TKO.

Usyk likely hits harder than Hormones now. He almost KO'd Fury who, despite what people keep saying, isn't easy to stop. He stopped Dubious who is a HW. Hormones is down at 175. He can probably hurt anyone above that weight, like any punchers that size, but I doubt he hits harder than Usyk these days.

Usyk is bigger, rangier, more skilled, smarter, and I think tougher too. Hormones can give it out but the biggest clean shots he's taken are from Callum Smith probably, who is a skinny 175 guy. Usyk has taken hits from HW's with good KO percentages. And other punchers at cruiser.

Also we should keep in mind what Kovalev said. He sparred Usyk and said he was really big. Kovalev is taller than Hormones and probably around the same weight naturally.

 

There's a reason Beterbiev went to go hide at 175. His name is Oleksandr Usyk.

 

Usyk has too many dimensions and his engine is too strong.

 

25 pounds difference is too much to overcome. At the same weight, Beterbiev is one of the few I'd give a chance at getting to Ustk, but they'd need to be the same size.

 

Beterbiev has a bad style match up for usyk. He could get close to usyk during the fight. That is imo my dream fight. Very close win for usyk in a burner of a fight

 

This.

Indeed I would not be surprised if Usyk stopped Beterbiev late.
