    Both have power, but kovelev can box. If Artur thinks that he can walk in like a tank and overpower kovalev,he's going to eat a nice counter right and be put to sleep. Kovalev by KO before the 6th.

      Beterbiev hasn't shown us enough. Kovalev just went 12 rounds dominating Hopkins and Beterviev has yet to go 5 rounds.

      He looks good. Sharp punches, clean footwork. Definitely the makings of a champion but Campillo seemed to only have a jab in there. Beterbiev needs a more game opponent, too bad Fonfara is fighting Chavez.

        Kovalev will win. He is too skilled, too athletic, too fast, too smart, too strong, too tough and too powerful for the Chechen ********* Beterbiev.

          Haven't seen enough of Beterbiev against decent competition to get a good read on him. Forgive me if I'm not too impressed by him beating Cloud and Campillo. I want to see Beterbiev against Chilemba/Alvarez/Braehmer.

              Kovalev right now. Beterbiev gets lit up trying to close range against him.

              Beterbiev is a monster at close range though. His short shots are beautiful.

                Yea I bet you're praying that happens before Kovalev gets a chance to fight Pepé Le Pew.

                  Watching tonight v Campillo, I was visualising how a Betebiev-Kovalev bout might go. Kovalev seems to have a handspeed and footspeed advantage and probably the better jab, but he doesn't go well backing up and may have the inferior chin. Fight is too tough to call, forced to pick I'd go with Beterbiev but not with confidence.

                  I think both beat Stevenson though, albeit Adonis has a good puncher's chance in both.

                    Kovalev

                    Beterbiev is clunky. Kovalev will zap him clean.

                      Beterbiev has this vicious streak about him

                      He doesnt simply head hunt, he throws combos to the body and head, with full brute force

                      I dont think Kovs chin wud withstand a Beterbiev attack on the inside.

                      Kov best bet wud be at long range

                      I just feel Beterbievis a beast, something we havent seen before,
