punchers and strong guys are usually the first to be exposed because they are many are one dimensional and depend on their power instead of let the ko come to them.

his straight left is a rocket, beterbiev is often off balance and lacks head movement. his defense is like a C+ if that....He'd get stretched being aggressive by round 5
a little more seasoning and I'd probably favor him, well Adonis is getting old

Originally posted by Cutthroat View PostI think Beterbiev is the most dangerous puncher in the division.
-Ambidextrous with equal power in both hands
-Short compact Ko punches
-Vicious body puncher that loves to rip combos (saw him drop Usyk with body shots in the Olympics)
-Explosive right hand
It's so effortless for him to land punches and almost impossible to neutralize his offense, it's a combination of all those things that make him very dangerous.
He also had an iron chin in the amateurs, he would walk through everyone's punches with ease, not sure if this is the case in the pros.
Right now his defense sucks, I've seen him off balance quite a few times and know for a fact he'd get KTFO in those situations so he must correct that. He also doesn't utilize his jab nearly enough sometimes not at all, he'd get killed against Kov or Ward fighting like that.
his defense and balance needs a lot of work

looks can be deceiving...a lot of guys can dish it but cant take it...lets see him do some taking first before we go overboard

Just a guy knocking out who he is supposed to. I know he had an extensive amatuer background but I dont put much into that. TOO many olympic successes were not great pros and others with little amatuer success have become ATG
I see a guy with power, an exciting style, he seems physically strong but not much else
He doesnt establish a jab, he throws looping shots and overhands, and he lacks head movement.

He was dropped on his ass by the dreaded Jeff Page Jr.
