    I also think that he does best against a stationary target. Someone with good head movement will make him miss.

      No head-movement...at all...period.

      No concept of defense.

      Way too stiff.

        No idea what he looks like when he's facing off against a guy who can dictate pace from range (but doubt that there are any 175lbers who can do that currently anyway), but everything else looks solid.

        The Barrera fight will help to answer a lot of the remaining questions, but a fight against a guy like Radivoje Kalajdzic ('Hot Rod'; 6'2, 76" reach, tricky/fluid fighter, good from range and creative on the inside, seems to take a good punch, etc) would help answer even more questions.

          I predict Beterbiev will look less than impressive against Barrera, and threads about how he was "exposed" will pop up.

              I have Barrera winning too. He's a superior boxer in pretty much every aspect of boxing. Similar power too. But let's keep it hush for the moment, I can't wait til this place blows up.

                I think Beterbiev is a little on the slow side but makes up for it with his power. He also knows a bit on where to place his punches for maximum damage.

                    I guess stamina. Too many early round stoppage aint gonna help.
