Prime Kovalev stops Beterbiev

[hhh1200]

Exactly! I was in attendance yesterday in Quebec. That power different and it seems so effortless, he never seems to be loading up on his punches.

His jab is like a pile driver, it's jolting and it snaps the head back and completely discombobulates the opponent. He did it against Cloud, Yarde, Campillo, Browne, and Smith last night. Instead of knuckles up he has his hand sideways like he is driving. Every time he does it, he either changes the complexion of the fight, drops or stops a guy

100% sure I haven't seen another fighter punch the jab that way.

Your first Beterbiev fight or you’ve seen him before ?

First time. It was crazy to see the difference between a Mbilli type of pressure fighter and a Beterbiev type of pressure fighter.
I support the local guy but Mbilli gets hurt against the upper echelon at 168lbs. He loads up way too much and I don't think said upper echelon would be fazed by his punching power.

Big fun below zero?

Born and raised in MTL so I'm used to the weather but that wind was blowing hard especially during the daytime yesterday in Quebec city.

I stated this last night that I think Mbilli was just trying to headhunt for the exposure
It only made him look bad imo
He usuall6 doesn’t fight that way
Check out the fight vs Gongora
So first time lol
You popped your cherry
His punches sound like a bat hitting a carcass
Sick chit that you’d only believe if you saw it and I never this case heard it , for yourself

Three out of the four belts. 20 fights. 20 wins. 20 knockouts. What a bum. LOL.

I attended Jean Pascal's last fight in Laval but yesterday was another level. Seeing up close SMW and LHW landing flush is something else.
Even seeing "little guys" such as Maloney up close gives you a brand new perspective on what boxers endure in this ring.

Spend the day ice fishing, then go to the fights and then after party. Sounds like major league fun to me.

For a long time now, I've suspected Beterbiev would beat Kovalev down and KO him. Kovalev had a very good jab and was a very good fighter but he doesn't have the variety and trickiness of Beterbiev...Kovalev was also not as tough, he didn't have the volume , the fast feet and intelligence of Beterbiev. I think Beterbiev is all around a technically better fighter. I'm more impressed by the boxing acumen of Beterbiev than his power.

Afi23, how was the atmosphere at the fight? I grew up attending fights in Atlantic City but I've always wanted to go to a fight in Quebec. I remember watching fights like Ouillet/Hilton on ESPN and thinking that I'd love to go up and watch a fight up there...the Canadian crowds and atmosphere just seem so electric.
