Sergey Kovalev vs. Artur Beterbiev

I want to go out and say Beterbiev beats him a third time, going 3-0 against Kovalev. But I said after Kovalev beat Sillakh, Hopkins and Pascal, it's hard for me to pick against Kov. Bet looks like a beast, he's very, very good, fresh and young, no wear and tear, no wars. It's a tough pick to be honest. I reluctantly go with Kovalev by decision.

Beterbiev has a slim chance. Toooooo much hype on untested Beiver!

Kev, Beterbiev never beat Kovalev twice. In fact, he may not have even beat him once.

Beterbiev had ONE official amateur win over Kovalev, JUST ONE (do some research) but Kovalev says he was robbed by the Chechen judges.

Beterbiev claims he got the better of Kovalev in a sparring contest, but Kovalev says he got the better of Beterbiev. There was no second official fight.

I think Beterbiev takes Kovalev out within 8 rounds & I actually wouldn't be shocked with a much earlier shocking stoppage.

I thought Pascal was hitting Kov with some **** that if Beterbiev hit him with the fight would be over. Kov gots a world of experience in comparison to Beterbiev, but I feel like with Beterbiev's fight style that won't come into play cuz this fight isn't likely to go the distance & Kov will need to fight in a very un-Kov way to try to keep Beterbiev tamed.

Regardless of who wins this fight is gonna have me on the edge of my seat for the duration & I think this has FOTY potential.

I think Beterbiev stops Kova. Both hit like trucks but I think Beterbiev is less vulnerable and takes a better shot.

Artur has no defense for speed range anand height with power.

Kovalev by tko inside of 6 rds.

Beterbiev is one of the few good fights for Kov @ 175. But nonetheless I expect the Krusher to come out on top.

Beterbiev is careless in his fights and has gone down easily in the past. If he is careless against Kovalev, he will go down but he will not get back up. I could see Kovalev taking him out relatively early or Beterbiev gassing out after 5 or 6 rounds at most and becoming easy pickings after that point. But I don't see it going that long. Kovalev in 4.
