Comments Thread For: Beterbiev Wants To Put Kovalev 'Back In His Place'

[SN!PER]

This is easily a fight of the year candidate.

Both fighters wield heavyweight power at 175.

One wrong move by either man, and it's curtains!

Beterbiev ain't nothing to play with.

Though Pascal was the one who hit him most solid, even with some efficient power shots that seemed to destabilize him... That fight made me believe more and more he's not supernatural. Among the best for sure, but is he the real deal ? The real tests are ahead with Stevenson and hopefully Beterbiev , and between the two, Duva will make sure that Beterbiev fight doesn't come anytime soon...

lol he was never supernatural, it's funny (and telling) that you have that impression of him because at times his power does seem other-worldly, but he is the real deal.

On the latter point, there aren't that many big money fights at 175, I doubt Duva will be holding Kovalev back from any bout.

Will Stevenson and Bieterbiev Ko their opponents?

Stevenson is 35...

And Campillo is no pushoever...

I heard this beterbiev dude is no joke, another russian monster waiting to be let out of the dungeon.

We'll have to wait a little to find out about his chin against really big punchers though... Seems to me he's a bit vulnerable and that a heavy southpaw counter puncher could hurt him bad (hint-hint)...

Yep, cause he's already taken some hellacious shots without being fazed. You know who's chin is certified glass though? Adonis. KO'd by Boone and dropped by Fonfara

Oh yeah... Because Pascal, Hopkins, Caparello, Agnew, Cleverly, Sillah are all known to be terrifying punchers with great KO ratios...

They don't have to be. How many of them were ranked in the top 10 in their division and how many of Stevenson's opponents have been top 10?
