thats just it. canelo is not going to stand and trade with him like gvozdyk did, hes gonna keep making him reset over and over. hes faster than him, has better footwork, and judging by how many dead on shots gvozdyk was able to take, and canelos iron chin, biev is gonna have to win the boxing game consistently to put red away. i dont think he can do it.
Beterbiev has boxing skills as well, while Canelo may have the speed advantage and is defensively also a good fighter, he won’t be able to run forever, he will be taking shots and can’t avoid it forever, the second half of GGG 1, he was flagging, it’s just going to be ramped up even further vs Beterbiev. Don’t think it will ever happen tbh.
he wont just be running. he will get off first, to take advantage of his superior speed, then step around to force a reset. biev is really not that good. hes strong and tough, but hes no master boxer. canelo is.
Prime Kovalev could KO him. Why not? Beterbiev can be hit and Kovalev had a devastating RH. I'm sure Beterbiev could also have KO'd Kovalev too. But I would give Kovalev the best chance of anyone I've seen at LHW because of his accuracy and power and the reach advantage over stumpy arms.
Kovalev had no inside game He was brittle to the body No imagine him against Beterbiev; someone who closes range quickly and cuts off the ring exceptionally well.
Bivol, prime Kov, M Spinks, prime(?) BHop and so on, but AB is dangerous to anyone stupid enough to stand and trade with him.
Well beterbiev has seen the canvas twice. I wouldn't be surprised if caveman Joe Smith manhandles him.
