Comments Thread For: Artur Beterbiev Drops Johnson Four Times, KO in Seven

Wasn't overly impressed by this performance.

Took him a while to stop a overmatched and gassed opponent and he got hit with some eye-catching shots and backed-up to the ropes when pressured.

Some has to be said about Johnson's chin, the man has a excellent beard.

I would love to see Beterbiev vs. Stevenson, that would be an amazing 50/50 fight.

Johnson is a very low ranked opponent.

Let's not forget, Johnson had never been stopped before.

He went the distance with Alvarez. He's long-armed, crafty defensive southpaw, not an easy boxer to look good against.

His defense is definitely flawed though, that is his weakness, really flat footed, backs up too much, doesn't really have a jab. Just 9 fights in, he's learning on the job, he'll continue to progress, he even took his foot off the gas to try to get some rounds in this fight.

I think that was just bad night for Beterbiev. In previous fights he looked faster, more relaxed, fought with more advercity

And I don't know if Beterbiev even wanted to display everything he knows...

I think that Artur's fight with Usik in the amateurs shows much of Beterbiev's skills and his limits
