He lied to me.
He told me Kell Brook was knocking out GGG.

I’m beginning to think he’s a bit of a bullshitter.. :D
It is called promoter. He promotes fights. Fewer people will want to see one sided beating.

Bivol vs Betebiev needs to happen asap. Beterbiev is almost 40 y/o.
Kovalev would have puncher chances, Ward had nothing which could make him competitive against Beterbiev. Artur is not somebody who can be mauled inside.

If the fight against Bivol happens this summer, Betebiev stops him.

Yarde wasn't competitive. Ward is NOT an all time great. He spent his career in a shallow division and then got a gifted win against Kovalev. The second Kovalev win was against already deteriorating body.

Olympic gold medal, undefeated pro, 9 years as a world champ, unified 168 and 175… he is an all time great surely….

2/3 judges had yard up after 7 rounds… I felt beterb was always in control, but it was competitive.

Ward would frustrate the hell out of a textbook boxer like Beterbiev, period
