Comments Thread For: Gvozdyk Speaks on Retirement, Beterbiev Loss, Stevenson Win, Teddy Atlas

Smart man but Canelo will take care of Beterbiev once he finally knocks out Golovkin an retired him then cleans out 168 When guys finally realize their worth!

Calling a guy who fought 2 of the biggest punchers in his division (stevenson,beterbiev) a puss-e/no heart is pretty fuggin dumb IMO.


He clearly has lost his passion/drive for the sport and on top of that hes 33 not exactly a spring chicken in this sport.

Yeah, dude takes on Stevenson and Beterbiev and wants to get back in the ring with the man who beat him but he's a puss with no heart because the dude typing on his keyboard said so.

I was a few rows from ringside at the Beterbiev/Gvozdyk fight and he was taking some wicked shots from Beterbiev for 9+ rounds. His heart or mind didn't give out so much as his body did. Incredibly violent fight and he landed his fair share of punishment on Beterbiev.

I wish him luck in retirement. If he gets the urge to fight again, I support that as well. He certainly put on some entertaining fights...his stoppages of Gonzalez, Chilemba and Stevenson were impressive.

"It was also highly competitive until Beterbiev began to wear Gvozdyk down..."

Hmm, not really. King Artur was ALWAYS in control but that doesn't mean The Nail didn't do really well. Artur was absolutely immense, a true monster with skills and The Nail threw everything at him. Artur should be AT LEAST top 5 p4p on everyone's list. There's nobody out there that can beat him. Canelo loses and that's why he don't want that schmoke.

It was an interesting fight to be honest. I felt that Gvozdyk was winning rounds but Beterbiev was winning the war of attrition in that fight. I thought it was competitive and close on my card but you could feel the inevitable would happen when The Nail would ultimately succumb to the punishment Beterbiev was dishing out. In a way it was similar to Kovalev/Ward 2 (IMO) but incredibly more violent.

Gvozdyck sounds like a solid guy. The fight with Beterbiev was really entertaining. As for retirement, most people don't realize that age 33 is young, except in a sport like boxing.

I was really surprised with Franky making that comment
Usually he treats the sport with respect
From my understanding , I think he owns a gym , practices more than one combat sport so yeah
Very surprised , maybe he just had a bad day with one of his Canelo posts

Anyway , you were at the fight
Are Beterbiev’s shots just thunderous
I seen like 6-7 of his first fights and you could just hear the echo of the shots
I’ve never heard that before or maybe it’s the fact that he throws with so much power
I don’t know but it’s impressive to say the least

Putting an end to Stevenson the way he did is a huge accomplishment and definitely something to be proud of.

Beterbiev beats Canelo
Beterbiev ain’t no fughin Kovalev
Oh , hang on , that is unless they’re gonna wait it out until he’s 40
If Canelo had any chance against Beterbiev , he would of never dropped the belt he won and would of gone up against him
The minute Beterbiev has an off night mark my words , Canelo will want to fight him
They’ll jump on that like flies on chit

That's how Canelo rolls. He did the exact same thing when he finally decided to fight GGG.

Yeah
He really showed that for the trilogy
Said didn’t wanna know anything about it , which I was one giving him credit as I think he won the second fight outright
Then came GGG’s fight with Derevyanchenko , imo , that’s the one that sealed the deal in his mind and convinced him that he can take GGG out
That would shut everyone up and seal this trilogy
Honestly , imo , this fight is not needed at all

[eco1]

Beteriev will beat Bivol EASY lol. And hes not basic at all, hes one of most complex out there. Only Canelo beats Beterbiev 175 and below.

Beterbiev would kill Canelo, on of the overhyped, most protected fight I have seen in years.

It was like Gvodzyk was going all out (and performing great) and Artur was just sitting in 3rd gear soaking up some nice shots, but then he just flowed through the gears and into God Mode for the last few rounds. He's one of the few fighters that can walk forward, slip shots and unleash an attack at the same time. Lamont Peterson (when switched on) was another who could do that. Artur is a special LHW.
