This is just how Beterbiev fights, he often struggles before getting the KO. Gvozdyk I believe was up on the scorecards going into the round that Beterbiev stopped him in. Beterbiev always gets hit in fights but he wears you down mentally.
I’m not saying he beats Bivol, but this fight honestly didn’t tell us much.
Beterbiev is a notoriously slow starter. Nothing unusual about this fight. Any time he pressed Yarde he looked to be hurting him.
Won't stop the Brits acting like Yarde is a hero. They love a plucky loser.
