Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev-Oleksandr Gvozdyk: Afterthoughts

[observer]

What a beautiful post !! No sarcasm man. Canelo will avoid Bivol, Beter and Gvozdyk like a plague. He moves back to SMW regardless of result with Kovalev. I still hope Kova gives him hell of a fight !

Guys, don't sleep on Kovalev. Once Canelo decides to fight him, he suddenly becomes the weakest link. Didn't seem like that before...

Gvozdyk was not 100%

Maybe I'm in denial but I don't think it was the best Gvozdyk. Something was amiss. I don't know whether it was his timing or something else.

Couple of observations:
- Gvozdyk was landing freely on Beterbiev but not visibly hurting him
- predictably you could see Beterbiev had heavier hands
- Beterbiev showed more variety than in previous fights
- Beterbiev showed very good chin
- I think Gvozdyk was disheartened as he saw he couldn't hurt Beterbiev with some flush punches

Gvozdyk was gassed earlier than half way of the fight. For me it was surprising and I don't know if it was Beterbiev's pressure or his lack of conditioning.
- because while Gvozdyk was moving, he boxed well and won more rounds than Beterbiev
- as soon as he became stationery Beterbiev started hurting him

Plus the knock downs were not flush punches that knock you out. It was more a mixture of accumulated punishment and exhaustion from Gvozdyk.

Also it seems Gvozdyk did not have a good plan and Beterbiev quite the opposite.
Specifically Gvozdyk likes to throw his right cross over the left jabbing hand of opponent. It wasn't the silver bullet here with Beterbiev.
Gvozdyk also did not invest much punching into the body. While Beterbiev did well to the body.

Thankfully Bivol is the same age as Canelo so ginger drug cheat won't be able to wait till Bivol past his prime which means fight never happens lol

Plus Bivol says he can make 168 comfortably.... I can hear the track shoes already

Canelo might fight Beterviev though... once Artur is 36 o 37.

Haha! This guy gets it.
