Fantastic match up. This one isn't going 12.

Good fight.
Very dangerous for Kovalev.

Kovalev should win comfortably. Betterbiev don't fight often and has shown he really isn't what some thought he was. Could be exciting though...

Beterbiev isn't out of the gym.

He is always training and always stays in shape.

Look at his instagram. just about every day he posts pictures of himself in the gym, training or doing some sort of athletic activity.

He also spars regularly and by all accounts has whooped Jean Pascal and Eleider Alvarez on a regular basis in sparring.

Trust me, Beterbiev is ready. He just needs the platform.

Since Zurdo wants a fight @ 175 before Kovalev, this is would be perfect for May! Make It Happen! MAN UP!

This should be a fantastic fight. Kovalev's not quite the scary boogeyman he used to be, but seems to have reinvented himself as a boxer rather than puncher. Beterbiev needs to be more active, but his ruthless streak is still there when he fights. I can see a stoppage win for Beterbiev in the last 3rd of the fight, with Kovalev ahead on points at the time. Beterbiev started the pro game later than Kovalev, but had his number in the unpaid ranks with a few wins in the bank and I see the same happening to close off their old rivalry.

Add Chilemba to that list. He didnt even pass 3rd round in sparring

I can't wait for this one.
A motivated Kovalev is very dangerous!

beterbiev to me is an hypejob,even if he does beat kovalev it doesn't say much because of the time he beat kovalev (at the back-end of his career) but I'm picking kovalev to ud him in a close fight, could potentially be a war due to their rivalry back in the amateur days,make it happen Bob!

If Kovalev wins a decision, it won't be close at all. Sergey is twice the boxer Beterbiev is at this point.
Beterbiev has to win by KO/TKO.

War Kovalev!
