Beterbiev vs. Usyk at cruiser is a tough match up

[MoneyKasha]

Beterbiev knocked him out in amateurs supposedly

how do you see that going?

[JakeTheBoxer]

I can`t see that happen. They are 2 divisions apart now. Usyk has Joshua in front of him.

Usyk was 2-0 against him, as a pro Usyk is on another level

[EL_GRINGO]

i don't see it happening either on the horizon , Usyk has hit the jackpot at heavyweight, he's not going anywhere.

Usyk was 2-0 against him, as a pro Usyk is on another level

you think he has a chance against a prime usyk at cruiser?

I think they went 2-1.

Nah Usyk beats him relatively easily IMO. Beterbiev beat Usyk when Usyk was 20 years old, he was inexperienced at elite amateur level, it’s around the same time Korobov, Porter etc beat him. They fought again in 2011 at the worlds and then 2012 at the Olympics and Usyk won both. At that point Usyk had matured and nobody could touch him in the amateur ranks at 91 kg.

Yeah it was 2-1. All close fights, about 5 points maximum in each. I haven’t seen their first fight, was around 2006/07 at a Ukraine vs Russia Duel. I’ve seen both the later fights though, Usyk deserved the nod in both.

you guys don't think Beterbiev's power would carry over against Usyk at 200lb?
