Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev prediction

[John Locke]

without doubt one of the best match-ups of the year, I'm going with Beterbiev by KO but no outcome would really surprise me. may the best man win

[Citizen Koba]

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?

Why don't you get yourself over to the Pick Em, man? Kinda prediction league we run for pretty much all the major fights and some minor ones as well. Probably too late in the year for you to rank highly but it's just a bit of fun anyways.

But on topic, yeah, I've kinda flip flopped a bit on this one, but ultimately I'm leaning towards Gvozdyk using his legs to keep Beterbiev at the end of his jab for the bulk of the fight and cruise to a closeish UD, though probably not without a few hairy moments along the way.

BeterBeezy by ko

[alexnation]

it's either Beter by KO within 6 or Gvozdyk by UD and I'm going with the latter

I keep bouncing back and forth...can the Nail deal with AB's power/pressure...is AB aging a bit and was that KD vs Johnson a sign of things to come...just can't really call it...my 'gut' pick changes every day lol

It’s a great matchup, perhaps along with next weekends WBSS final the best of the year. No result would really be surprising there’s a lot of power and potential vulnerabilities on both sides.

I’ll take Gvozdyk to box smart, use his legs a bit and get more points but have to come through a tough moment or two.

Both will hit the deck, I think Gvozdyk comes out on top

Ive seen several say this & I mean even folks going with The Nail. I tend to think Beterbiev is gonna be a hard guy to KO & I think folks make too much of his KDs in other fights, but maybe Im a lil biased on this one cuz I was big on AB not that long ago. Kinda backed off of him with all his inactivity.

I ended up being spot on with this one eh?
