Beterbiev late KO

Beterbiev too big too strong for him. Bad style matchup for Ward too as Artur doesn’t try to outbox and outfeint you, he walks you down and breaks you with pressure late. Ward doesn’t have the power to keep him off.

Beterbiev by TKO most likely in the 11th or 12th.

Interesting, you guy's think Beterbiev has the nuts to win

Beterbiev. Ward was a SMW he's not strong enough to trouble Artur.

Beterbiev hurts Ward, Ward then clinches, wrestles and punches Beterbiev in the nuts.

Sergey Kovalev at his peak, was a better fighter than Beterbiev.

Beterbiev is a strong fighter physically, and hits with considerable punching power.

But? I do not rate his pure boxing skills as elite 'Andre Ward had elite all around game'. Inside game, mid-range game, long-range game, defense and rough house tactics.

To me Beterbiev looks like a fighter who stylistically, a fighter like Andre Ward would beat over the distance.

Sergey Kovalev had a top level Long to Mid-Range game. That was why his fights with Ward were competitive etc.

Ward by destruction. Ward inside game would be to much for beterbiev.

Hopkins vs Pavlik all over again
