    Its weird how Beterbiev is just punchers chance when Gvozdyk arguably has comparable power to Beterbiev.

      A true 50/50 and so much respect for these 2 laying it all on he line. Hopefully will be FOTY. I believe Beterbiev will win this by KO but anything can happen that's why it's such an intriguing fight.

        ... the problem with Gvozdyk is that he has little body/head movement (a 41 yo Steveson was tagging him all the night)... I don't know how he will manage to keep Beterbiev off him...

          Their power maybe looks comparable, when both a set up to punch from middle or long range. But Beterbiev has great power in very short punches that Gvozdyk hasn't.

            ... at middle to close range Beterbiev is deadly...

              By starching Beterbiev with a straight right hand when he attempts to recklessly bull rush him.

                  Callum Johnson put Beterbiev on his ass with a short felt hook...

                    I was quite surprised how easy Beterbiev has been to hit recently, however I still think he will probably be too much for Gvozdky. He's a relentless fighter when he's in his stride and while Gvozdky might be able to interupt the flow a little - I think he will ultimately be drawn into a Beterbiev fight and his lack of head movement will start to tally up quickly. That's not to say he doesn't have the ability to keep it long, I just think it's going to be very difficult - even with teddy screaming at him about fire trucks!

                      Johnson was also a big puncher and also had excellent short range power.

                      Gvozdyk fights taller and needs more space to generate his power. If this is a close-up brawl then Beterbiev will really hurt him. If OG can keep his distance he can UD and maybe catch AB.
