    I don't think so. One or two of Stevenson's big lefts would put Beterbiev down and out. Don't see him lasting very long against Kovalev either.

      He was toying with Johnson clearly. I wouldn't put too much into this performance. However he is going to need more than just Power Shots, need a consistent Jab to go with that Power.

        Beterbiev is noway near ready for The Krusher or Stevenson. Probably a good thing the Chilemba fight never went ahead based on tonights performance.

        He closed the show but meh, far from impressive.

          I liked that KD from the jab.

            No kidding. My girlfriend just heard that and was like "Shamrock is still fighting? I thought he retired a while ago? He must be pretty damn old by now."

            Damn, she doesn't even follow MMA or boxing really but she knew that was an iffy fight.

              Beterbiev would knock Stevenson spark out

                  Thats why I voted too close to call. Beterbiev didnt impress me at all. I dont think theyre teaching him anything at his camp.

                    Swear he was approaching 50 when he retired that said Kimbo isn't no spring chicken either, so much for his boxing career..

                      I thought it was a joke when I saw it the first time. Shamrock is 51!!! I'll watch it for laughs anyhow.

                      But he is being hyped to death as if he is unbeatable. It's really overdone considering what we saw tonight.
