Am I the only one that finds Beterbiev a little overrated?

[crimsonfalcon07]

i think that is a bad idea, he needs to move and control distance. beterbiev does not throw sloppy punches, he places them well, sets them up, is patient and has good timing. hes a lot slower but he does everything he is supposed to, he also doesnt head hunt either. bivol staying in the pocket on purpose will get him stopped.

100%. We saw what happens when an outside fighter abandons their style to trade with an equally skilled fighter who's a bigger puncher when Sunny Edwards lost to Bam Rodriguez.

Artur is much more sound as some casuals here think he is. He knows what he is doing.

Let them think that he’s just a mauler
And still
That’s what we’ll hear after the fight

Yes, only you. You need to ask this question to his 20 last opponents.

Did we not see Bivol hurt to the body against Lyndon, or at least bothered? Don't remember off the top of my head but I feel like that happened. With Bivol's high guard, his stomach is open to straight shots to the body, and Beterbiev is great at throwing not only jabs, but rights to the stomach as well. Shots like those change fighters gameplans.

This is what I was thinking. Browne has really good legs like Bivol. Beterbiev had to invest in his body b/c his legs kept his head out of range (Bivol bouncing in and out with combos). He is the one guy we've seen stop with an intense body attack.

Points where Betebiev closes or pins him on the ropes for a few seconds (all he needs) he will inflict body damage.

People are delusional if they think Bivol is just going to stand in the middle of the ring and 1-2 Beterbiev for 12 rounds to UD.

Browne doesn't really use his legs the same way Bivol does though. Bivol is way better about staying off the ropes. Browne literally walked himself to the ropes and tried to use head movement before exiting, all without throwing any counters, on multiple occasions. Basically what Callum Smith did. Not a good comparison.

Gonna be an interesting fight, and one that I believe the first 4 rounds will tell all.

[JakeTheBoxer]

This fight will be solved in the last rounds. If Beterbiev wants to win, he must take Bivol's legs away with body shots. He must also over come Bivol's distance control and a great timing and rythm changing. That is easier said than done.

Doesn't Beterbiev have the highest KO ratio in boxing @ 100%? How else should he be rated?

I was never impressed with ko artists. My point exactly.

He is great in stopping guys that don't move and have zero defense. But can he beat a very good boxer? Hopefullly we will find out soon.
