Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Batters Tavoris Cloud For 2nd Round KO

[texasboi15]

Fighters are never the same after Bernard Hopkins.

Cloud is the latest addition to the list..lets count 'em:

Trinidad
Jermaine Taylor
Pavlik
Tarver
Dawson
Pascal?
Cloud
Oh yeah Winky?

There seems to be a correlation though.....Eastern European boxers and massive power advantages. I'm not trolling either, it just seems to be something in the training, water or whatever but these dudes all seem to be strong as oxen.

Lol there are plenty of eastern European fighters who aren't massive power punchers and who aren't crushing opponents.

MAybe.....I worked with a Russian dude and he was kinda small. He was like 45 at the time but he wasn't some freaky strong guy. You have Kovalev, GGG, This dude that are running through opponents. Then there are Wlad and Vitali as well. I think Americans are getting weaker from all the crap we put in our food, synthetic chemical "preservatives".

Not all of them are powerhouses. Lomachenko is an example. One thing they all have in common though is great accuracy. All these dudes LAND punches, all the time. They really know how to thread the needle

Yeah, I know not all of them are power punchers but can you name one US power puncher, just one? I can't think of one except Wilder and he is just a physical freak.

Quite a few of them have pop, just not any huge punchers right now (maybe Stevens). Argentina and Columbia also produce a high amount of power punchers

Yes. Too much convenient junk food and fast food instead of well-planned, nutritious meals.

Really? I want to see them fight, I think Kovalev's power will be an issue given the way this guy attacks. Where is Usyk at now days?

He is fighting next saturdAy for the intercontinental who title it looks like their trying to set up a fight with huck

bidding war for Beterbiev and I bet HBO will get this guy. Monster match in the making for Kovalev. Stevenson has another guy to avoid. Pascal needs a fight, and there is also Fonfara, Campillo and Agnew (Agnew still deserves to be on an undercard) who are all just as familiar as Cloud. Braehmer needs a showcase fight like this one and he can be in the mix as well. With Dawson and Shumenov looking to pick themselves back up and other guys climbing the ladder, the LHW division is stacked. Andre Ward has another super six if he wants it at 175. Awesome stuff!!!

God damn two rounds??? I gotta see a video of this

Still up on tube,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kySTo0FcUik

I keep rewatching in semi disbelief - I thought Artur would win but I was expecting a late rounds breakdown. Guy's a damn beast.

That's more my thinking as well. I don't think Haymon will want anything to do with Beterbiev, so HBO will pick him up pretty soon, and GYM wouldn't want to match him up with Stevenson or Pascal either. Adonis would demand a career high payday to fight a guy with 6 fights total.
