Comments Thread For: Arum: Gvozdyk Was Winning When Beterbiev Stopped Him

[Thraxox]

I had it 5-4 Gvozdyk going into the 10th. I gave Gvozdyk 1,3,4,6,8.

I had it 5-4 also going into the 10th. People now where acting like it was a domination. In fact, it reminded me of Cotto vs Margarito. I hate it when people starts to build a narrative how Beterbiev was dominating Gvozdyk when it was ridiculously far from it.

Fan of The Nail but disagree with the scorecards/Arum.

I thought Beterbiev was ahead throughout and always looked the more poised and in control even when Gvozdyk was 'outworking' him panicking throwing flurries of armpunches trying to keep Beterbiev at bay.

What Beterbiev was doing was effective work even when not not letting his hands go he was forcing The Nail to be uncomfortable and work at a pace he wasn't comfortable with.

Gvozdyk looked more fluid and 'pretty' but there was only one guy out there actually being really effective and it wasn't the guy panicking throwing a load of glancing armpunches.

Right: Beterbiev was controlling the fight and he methodically picked Govzdyk apart...

I had Beterbiev up 88-83/87-84, something like that

Idk man, Gdovyk looked bad through out, and the ref would just break the action every time it got on the inside, sometimes ring generalship matters, through out the fight Beterbiev landed the harder shots

Started slow but became a ******* of a fight. I
Hope the Ukrainian can recover form....that was a frightful beating at the end that resulted in a hospital stay

He isn't wrong though, did you guys watch the fight? Gvozdyk fell off a cliff once he gassed and Beterbiev fucced him up. I also heard others saying they weren't impressed ...what the fucc were y'all watching? This was a high level fight between two world champions and arguably the two strongest in the division. Since 2016 or so I favoured Gvozdyk in anh2h against Kovalev, the guy can crack, HARD, but Beterbiev is just relentless and one tough motherfuccer.

Anyway, we'll see soon enough one way or another. Canelo, if he beats Kovalev (I don't think he does) will NOT fight Beterbiev, and Kovalev, IF he decides to fight Beterbiev will get KOd much quicker than Gvozdyk as Gvoz had movement and range unlike Kova so he could keep the fight in his favour for as long as he did.

Beterbiev will likely only have problems with a boxer like Bivok, but even then I never jumped on the Bivok hypewagon. Not gonna spell correct Bivok, on a **** phone

... OK, ok... So, please tell us just when did this happen before to Gvozdyk?... (I'll wait...)

Maybe on the judges scorecards (who were clearly biased). Beterbiev was clearly winning in my eyes and had a few legit knockdowns taken away from him (nobody seems to be talking about this)

Bob Arum is a 90 year old pot head - literally.

Gvozdyk punches never looked like they hurt Beterbiev. Not once. You can move around all you want but when your punches have 0 effect it means nothing.

Beterbiev isn’t invincible. Carl Froch in his prime would take him out.

Two tough dudes cut from a similar cloth I think, but Artur is stronger, harder hitting and in a higher weightclass. I'd say he's probably more skilled too, but that one's open to debate.

And I'm a huge fan of Carl's too.

EDIT: But no. Beterbiev isn't invincible. No-one is. I haven't seen anyone claim that though.
