Beterbiev gives usyk a 10 count in the olympics vid below.

[4truth]

Did anyone actually watch the fight ? Beterbiev got a point taking away ,it was an illegal punch straying to far towards the backside.

True but no ref ever would have made that call in the pros. Usyk probably takes a knee.

Usyk only took knees ,one was this one and they counted another one in a fight I forget which one I think Glowacki but it was a low blow. I don't think Usyk takes a knee with the same shot at HW.

Looks like beterbiev was always a vicious body puncher. Go to 7:08. Seconds after beterbiev hits usyk with a body shot and usyk needs to get a ten count.

Bivol lol? Beterbiev would stop the one dimensional bivol.

Why are you saying 10 count?

[buddyr]

Why is it with every division, fans are only allowed to like one fighter? When the f*k did this rule become mandatory acrosss the boxing community?

[Pigeons]

According to Kovalev himself, there's no footage of it. Kovalev probably on the vodka and not thinking straight

Possible. Kovalev complained about the only decision he lost as a pro too, but that was a close fight that a lot of people had him winning.

I don't understand it either. 147 and 175 are my favourite divisions right now and I support pretty much all the top guys in these divisions. The best man will come out on top eventually, why not just enjoy these guys

Beterbiev's boxing ability is very underrated. Unlike bivol who's one dimensional beterbiev can go to the body as well. Mix it up. He started to outbox and time gvozdyk after rd 6. I don't think beterbiev really showed all his skills yet.

I still think Bivols footwork can cause problem for Beterbiev. Bivol has ability to outbox Beterbiev if he is able to keep Beterbiev at bay. I favour Artur in their fight though..

[FinitoxDinamita]

Bivol is a baaad man, he could definitely outpoint Beterbiev. Don't let the baby face fool you.

Beterbiev is a monster no doubt and could beat ANYONE in and around his weight, but he's by no means unbeatable, just like every other fighter out there. Bivol hasn't shown durability problems like Gvozdyk and his skills are a little sharper.

Are you willing to bet money on that when that fight happens?

This is a chance for me to teach you about logical picks.

lol don't take it so personally friend, I was just pointing out your flawed logic

I don't gamble but sure I will have a friendly bet, not with much confidence as I stated above I see it as another 50-50 fight, but imo Bivol is the only one who can derail the absolute train that is Beterbiev at 175

i swear every thread it's someone hyping their own favorite fighters and act like no one else is worthy? I like both Spence and Crawford. I like both Gvozdyk and Beterbiev. I like Wilder, Fury , and Ortiz(don't like Joshua at all). We aren't even 24 hours past Beterbiev's victory and there are no less than 15 threads about why we should like him and hate everyone else at 175. wtf..
