Respect to Bert

You are better than I thought. Never a defensive master, but when the occasion called able to control yourself and box a good strategy without just rushing in as a caveman. Very very strong guy with surprising accuracy. Mixed those shots nicely to the body and that is what broke Gvo. Had Bert several rounds up when the KDs started already though.

Good fight and efforts from both guys, not sure Gvo will be the same after that. He looked broken at the end.

Once he’s finished up in the locker room and spent some time with his family, I’m expecting he will check boxrec and respond. I’m sure he appreciate your kind words.

This is what happens when the best face each other. You get a conpetetive action packed high level fight.

Canelo better stay away from these guys.

I said before that Ward would stand no chance against Beterbiev. Now some people will agree with that.

Beterbiev proved a lot wrong, including me. He had a truly smart performance. He pressured Gvozdyk in a smart cautious and economical way. He was activating in the endings of rounds and by the later point of the fight. His offence was diverse. An unexpectedly great performance.

Classic case of fighting to level of comp. Should've been in with Krusher/Adonis years ago. Had a shot at stopping them both. Garbage management. Gvozdyk always reminded me of a better Sillakh. A little too athletic in style.

I wrote here that his offense is something special. Still a bit dissapointed that Gvozdyk did not use holes in Beterbiev defense. But Beterbiev power impressed me even more, with few body punches he totaly broke athlete like Gvozdyk.

Very disappointed in the effort from Gvozdyk. “Pitty-pat” punches all night long... he looked and seemed “shell-shocked” from the get go. That stoppage from the amateurs must’ve really, really f’d him up. Something was badly off with Oleks all night long. That being said.... I’m still not completely sold on Beterbiev. He seems strong and fairly heavy-handed, but slow and pretty easy to hit. I never thought I’d say to myself....

“Geez..... maybe I’d like to see Andre come out of retirement....”

Also... lots of great posts and insight from all you guys before me in this thread... just sayin

It seemed like he was far too nervous, from the opening bell and it destroyed his fatigue and balance.

Teddy atlas is meant to be the motivational guru. The guy who understands the mental game. Well maybe he’s a bit overrated ole Tantrum teddy.

or maybe its just easier to motivate a flat track bully or someone against an overmatched fighter, when his fighter isn't going to get his head punched in if he gets any more aggressive?

to use one of my favourite quotes on this subject, George Gregan circa 2002, 'passion's over-rated, mate'

If you can count on anything, it's teddy Atlas sucking at everything he does. Really impressive from beterbiev. That dude is crazy strong.

Blodhemn · Post by **Blodhemn** » 19 Oct 2019, 05:08

I was banking on Artur being shot since he looked old in previous can fights but tonight he was sharp. His compact style is difficult to crack. Probably best to just resort to a boring, without fault, Bivol style against him. Gvozdyk's style left too little room for error. Don't see the psychological angle much, more so a physical one, as he was, you know, getting physically beaten down and kept trying.

Blodhemn · Post by **Blodhemn** » 19 Oct 2019, 05:30

And in other words, respect to Gvozdyk for putting it on the line, as opposed to Bivol who fights to preserve, because who wants to see that shit? His manager, but barely.

..glad it ended in a conclusive manner and didn't go to scorecards..

Nondescript · Post by **Nondescript** » 19 Oct 2019, 09:40

Yep. I'm also one of the people who underestimated Beterbiev. He delivered when it mattered.

Any civil and insightful discourse on internet chat forums ought be recognized and applauded..... no?

Given the current political climate in North America and the ongoing LIBTARD, ANTIFA and ACC, Greta Thunberg brainwashing sweeping the civilized world...... i’ll take what I can get in terms of decent conversation.
