Artur Beterbiev vs Sergey Kovalev Who takes it?

[Gods We Faked]

I wonder if the bigoted Eastern Eurpoean fighter fans on this site (not all of course but there is a section who are soley a fan of EE fighters and biased against anyone else) will be a fan of Artur even though he is with Haymon. Hmmmm

A come forward fighter with scary power is always going to be a fan favorite. Not the right guy to politicize.

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

What are you talking about? Stevenson vs Kovalev should be long done and over with by the time Beterbiev gets a shot.

Assuming of course that Kathy Duva doesn't run away from that fight if a Haymon-affiliated promoter wins the purse bid.

I'd pick Artur Beterbiev over Kovalev, he is way more accurate than Kovalev.
beating a top 10 of the division in 4 rounds and after Campillo post-fight quotes it should have been done in 1st round.

Kovalev did worse to Campillo when he wasn't shot.

Why are people making such a big deal out of that fight? It's impressive, but not anything close to proof that Beterbiev is anywhere near ready for the best in the division.

Did worse? I don't think so, unless i missunderstand you. Beterbiev was a Brutal KO while Kovalev was a TKO after 3 knockdown. The most impressive from Beterbiev is his accuracy with around 40-45% punch landing.

P.S (Breaking news) : WBO want to find a way to rank him #1 for a fight vs Sergey Kovalev.
