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

[Mr.Daddy]

Beterbiev got robbed against Usyk, I saw the fight.

Beterbiev rocked him and even dropped him with a body shot in their fight, Beterbiev is no joke.



Rocks him around 2:10 in the 2nd round, if that's the pros, Usyk is going down from that shot.

Drops him with a body shot in the 3rd round.

Good that you posted the fight. Unfortunately for Beterbiev, he fell too far behind in the first round. Additionally a knockdown isn't given enough credit in the amateurs, so that's the robbery and not the scoring of clean punches landed (Usyk landed more clean shots that Beterbiev). Understand that I never said Beterbiev wasn't a talented and dangerous fighter. And perhaps the Beterbiev/Kolavev fights can also be located. That would let us see for ourselves. As it stands, Sergey has stated that the Russian team members will support his version of what transpired in his fights with Beterbiev, and given Sergey's frank, open, and honest assessments of his professional fights to date, I have no reason to doubt his now. Fortunately for us all, eventually Sergey and Artur will fight, and as Sergey wants to fight the best and has fought 16 times since March of 2011, we should not have to wait an unusual length of time for them to meet. Naturally, the more Artur fights, the sooner he will meet Sergey for the title.

Also with regard to Beterbiev the guy signs with Haymon, and all he talks about is the kovalev fight, get real haymon is where good fights go to die. I wont hold my breath for this matchup.

Prudent decision to not hold your breath considering Kovalev will probably stall Beterbiev out as long as possible . As far as Haymon potentially killing the fight goes , has it ever dawned on u that Beterbiev is Haymon's insurance policy in the event that Kovalev beats Stevenson and captures all 4 belts ? Some r so quick to ride this Al Haymon smear campaign that they fail to realize that he's a business man before he's a boogie man

Beterbiev looks to be the goods. The only doubt I have about him is his footwork and balance, which doesn't always look to so great. Usyk, despite being a bigger man, made him look leaden footed and awkward at times when they fought.

Don't know much about Campillo but Cloud is a nice win. Isn't this fight this weekend? I'll have a chance then to judge his abilities. However I find it funny that a 7 and 0 fighter can talk down on a multi belt holder and top 2 in his division.

it's because beterbiev beat him twice in the ammys.
kovalev will say he was robbed but I highly doubt russians robbing another russian in favour of a turkic ******

Kovalev is from the back arse of nowhere as well though. Somewhere in the Urals isn't it? It's like he's from Western Russia where they're pretty much European.

....jumping on Beterbievs train. Shows you you clowns know NOTHING abut either fighter. Kov blows him away in 5. Beterbiev will come to prove a point and get KOd. You people are unbelievable. Pascal beats Beterbiev.

Said by the Kovalev fan

don't worry i'm fan of Beterbiev since his first fight since i live in montreal where he fight. I have faith in him.

[Warrior2015]

Kovalev has obviously improved greatly since the amateurs.

Kovalev will annihilate Beterbiev.

[MindGame]

Use your imagination people..

This is all about creating a marketable fighter in the division...

If Kovalev puts Stevenson to sleep, he'll need a opponent to stir the pot. A Stevenson rematch will be in play as will one with Pascal.... Ward seems a ways off before moving up....

Beterbiev can serve as fodder for Adonis, Pascal or Kovalev down the road.
So don't let him get your blood pressure up, it's about promotion and paydays!

[Superbee]

I would say it's Darnell Boone.

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...

Beterbiev better concentrate on the task at hand. Campillo is a wily veteran capable of pulling off the upset.
