    Just watched Gvozdyk and Beterbiev. Gvozdyk impressed me better.

    Great punch selection. Great angles, great body attack. And my fav left double jab straight to the body. Never seen a punch combination like it.

    Looking forward for both of their careers. I hope they won't disappoint.

    Bonus: Beterbiev beat Gvozdyk via breaking his nose in the amateurs.

        Imo Gvozdyk and Bivol are better skill wise compared to Beterbiev.. They just do not get so much hype but they'd definitely win against Beterbiev when they fight..

          Yeah, he badly rocked him and gave him the toughest fight of his pro career.

            People just haven't figured out Beterbiev style yet... It will come ... Two different fighters with a lot of skills... Beterbiev has the edge though ...

              Gvozdyk is the most skilled of the three without doubt, but he might be a bit fragile and susceptible to pressure. Bivol is the most balanced, but lacks any truly standout attributes. Beterbiev, although smarter than some people give him credit for, only really has one gameplan, but his absurd power probably puts him a notch above the other two. That's my take on it

                I was merely saying something I thought the OP might not know, doesn't mean I think that's what would happen in the pro game, don't jump to conclusions next time.

                  I know what you're saying. Gvozdyk looks like a better fighter and definitely has a better resume, but Beterbiev is a scarier fighter to face. That dude is huge and usually looks like he's fighting in the 3rd gear. I think he's got 2 more gears that he's never had to reach for yet.

                  I want to see him in with an elite fighter so he can show what he's made of.

                    I just think that Beterbiev is a bit messy with his punches, especially when he is going for the kill. He has a lot of movement during the exchanges to minimize the damage, but it still looks a bit sloppy. But unlike Gvozdyk, he is like Lomachenko, composed and patient, which his punches are so fluid. Especially counter-punching is very superb, somewhat similar to Marquez, the straight right hand over/under the jab. It is just so fluid.
