Sergey Kovalev vs. Artur Beterbiev

[_original_]

Too early, but I think Kovalev beats him at any point. Artur looks good and powerful, but a bit too clunky and slow to beat Kovalev IMO.

[intoccabile]

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

Was knocked down by a softer toucher than Kova was. I don't know...

[-Kev-]

Didn't he get put down two fights ago?

Kovalev was also put down by Caparello in the first round, last year, both in the first round. Caparello has 6 KO's in 21 fights, Page had 10 KO's in 15 fights. Both Kovalev and Beterbiev got up pretty quickly and weren't visibly hurt at all.

Cap stepped on Kov's foot if I remember correctly.

Lol@people still bringing up the caparello knockdown. Try watching fights.

He stepped on his foot but it didn't look like stepping on his foot was the reason why Kovalev went down.

Prior to the KD there was a body shot that Kovalev didn't seem to like, it actually folded him. Then yes, Caparello stepped on his foot lightly, but it didn't appear that was the cause of the KD.

Yes. He wasn't hurt, it was a flash knockdown.

So? That's not how boxing works.

Try shutting the **** up for once, you bickering little idiot.

It tells me that I'd favor Kovas chin over Betervievs especially when both have the firepower that they do.

[LacedUp]

What a fight. What a hard fight to pick. Would have to go with Kovalev right now, but what I've seen from beterbiev shows me he's one tough bastard. A stonecold beast. I've seen Kovalev having the better skills though.

Hard one. Going with Kovalev right now - Potentially on a decision.
