    FOTY candidate for sure... Two completely opposite styles mastered by two superb fighters...

    Power and sturdiness will prevail though... I don't think Gvozdyk sees the 8th Round... No way he can avoid Beterbiev gloves the whole fight, and once he's hit flush and clean, he's gone...

      Great fight, Gvozdyk has fought an elite fighter in Stevenson, this will be Beterbievs toughest challenge.

        Philly has the second largest Ukrainian population in the U.S. That could have something to do with it as Gvozdyk fought there last time out as well.

          I'm sure they got this right! gvozdyk's last fight was held there and it had to be a success or else they wouldn't be coming back. philly is a huge sports city plus its the home of rocky!

            both guys have suspect chins, the nail's might be worse though because he was BADLY hurt agaisnt Karpency, got up and was on bambi legs, so on that logic you would assume he would not be able to take beterbievs power.

            Then again Beterbiev was put down by that random guy, Jeff paige? and hurt bad by Johnson. so i literally have no idea who is going to take this one, maybe beterbiev early-mid by ko or the nail late tko or points? either way i cant wait, if Taylor V Prograis gets cancelled this fight is probobly the only big upcoming 50/50 fight which says how bad this year has been for boxing tbf.

                gvozdyk's chin held up against chickenson who obviously has far more power than karpency. I think both guys will hit the deck when they get it on but OG will be victorious over beterbiev! I got him winning on points.

                  did it? wasnt he dropped and it wasnt called? As for chickenson, lets not pretend he wasnt what, 40/41 years old? and had just spent 5 years fighting the can of the half decade tour..

                  Just checked the odds and the nail is a slight favourite, think ill stick a score on beterbiev then

                    it was chickenson who got knocked down clean at the start of round 3 If remember the round correctly in any event the ref called it a slip smh. he was 40 but the power doesn't go away he still went toe to toe with jack the previous fight.

                      Never heard of that venue. But w/e I'm looking forward to this fight if it happens at the zoo.
