Artur Beterbiev v Andre Ward

[AKAcronym]

No it doesn’t...Ward had been talking about the Kovalev fights being the end of his career before..he was already in a place of retiring.

Ward would pose a big challenge for Beterbiev and Wards foot speed and Hand speed would really give him problems...that plus Wards really diverse hi-low mix ups would keep Artur guessing

Beterbiev has a great jab to the body also. He goes to the body frequently enough to keep Ward guessing too. And I'm sure Artur's shots would hurt just a wee bit more.

Tavoris Cloud, Gabe Campillo, Callum Johnson, Rod Kalajdzic, Oleksandr Gvozdyk.


It's actually a better resume than Ward has at 175

Bro that's actually a horrible resume

[MulaKO]

Exactly WHO has Beterbiev beaten?

Only about 300 more people than you did
I’d say not shabby

[REDEEMER]

Beterbiev hits entirely to hard for Ward ,I see a mid stoppage with Ward even on top but gets caught eventually .

[EDD1]

Beterbiev.



They're nothing alike style wise, not to mention Beterbiev doesn't drink, he's three years younger nor does he even eat unhealthy. He just trains and goes to bed early and lives a humble family life. He beats Ward down.

Rex, listen to me man,,, Ward is a true boxer, there is nothing beterbiev does that ward has not scene since the amateur circuit,,, in fact I believe ward benefits from the fact that beterbiev is eastern European, because he has seen that **** over and over again,,, the man is a boxing purist, watch his fights, it's hard to discern when he was ever(if ever) in trouble

beterbiev right now would smoke him.

Prime ward could probably headbutt his way to a victory in oakland

[Real King Kong]

Andre schools him all day ,,, plug in beterbiev to the Krusher fights I feel it's the same thing

Much different. In the first ward vs kovalev fight, ward relied on inside, roughhouse tactics to get himself back into the fight. That would not work with beterbiev...he would get manhandled. He would have to box more with beterbiev. Beterbiev himself has a good jab and transitions well from outside to inside. We also know it would be unlikely ward would be able to hurt him. The one area that ward could exploit is beterbiev’s sometimes low work rate...ward could look to pot shot him with clean shots and win rounds on flashy punches. Hard to pick against ward, but this would be a tough fight.

That said, beterbiev doesn’t really have the body of work to properly judge him. For all we know, he could end up a mediocre fighter.

Ward would give him a r3tarded beating on the inside.

Beterbiev quits

Beterbiev jabs are much more inconsistent tho he doesn’t use it for long stretches and then sometimes his jabs are slow and lazy and he can get countered over them

Ward had some of the better jabs in boxing with his variety like the up jab. He consistently used it often set up combos...I haven’t even talked about the fact that Ward can switch stances, he was just far to versatile for Artur and on top of the fact that his foot and hand speed were much higher

Outside of Oakland Beterbiev wins.
