Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev prediction

[Sun_Tzu]

I almost never make threads but Im really looking forward to this fight. Ive been on the fence since it was announced but Im going to make a bold (for me) prediction. My gut tells me Gvozdyk gets the decision here, there is a possibility of a late stoppage but Im leaning 12 rounds. Who ya got?

Really good match up. Tough to pick a winner on this one.
My gut tells me Beterbiev will find his range with his power shots and eventually wear down Gvozdyk for a 11th round tko.
But I can easily see a situation where Gvozdyk uses his sharp one two's and angles to win a close fight.

[Ganondorf]

Yeah this is a really good one but I got Gvozdyk by Decision as well.

Hard to argue with you. Beterbiev is a beast but I saw some serious flaws against Johnston. Had that fight not happened Id pick him hands down. If Gvozdyk gets him in trouble it will go bad I think but the same could be said the other way. I love these kind of match ups.

Gvozdyk by tko. AB is too easy to find

[MaksBox]

Most Russian media has this as Gvozdyk winning by decision. Chance of Beterbiev by KO in the first 4 or 5 rounds... after which, Gvozdyk will start breaking him down.

Both guys are very hit-able and Beterbiev is a very aggressive fighter which will work well with Gvozdyk.

Gvozdyk by late stoppage or clear U.D

[Eff Pandas]

Your pick is my #2 pick or hedge. I think this is like a lower budget Wilder vs Fury kinda fight where The Nail will be winning til the bell rings or til Beterbiev rings his bell & ends it.

So I got Beterbiev by KO as my official pick, but if The Nail has a near mistake free night I can see him by decision. And like you I also think there is late KO possibilities by The Nail.

I was just about to post similar to Eff Pandas.
I see it sort of like the Wilder Fury fight.
If the Nail can stay focused for the full 12 rounds I can see him getting a clear decision but it only takes a microsecond for Bertibiez to get that opening and knocks him out.
I'm on the fence for this one atm.
Will probably leave to last minute to decide once I see the weights and staredown.
In for a decent fight no matter.

Decent comparison. It is a low budget Wilder vs Fury but with Fury having the ability to actually stop an elite opponent. I think Gvozdyk is alot tougher than people realize. He all of a sudden beat a shot Stevenson and damn near killed him once it was over when mfers were talking about Stevenson one shotting him.
