Power punches.

Personally I didn’t see much wrong with how fast or slow they were. We got a good fight.

You should've come ahead of time and sprinkled your wisdom

You’re wasting away your life not keeping up with the current scene. Let me guess you’re watching that ufc game. Smh come back to boxing. We are in the post Mayweather era.

Calls a KD when there wasn't any, then doesn't call a legit KD when Bert actually got it lol.

Probably felt pressured haha

I like "Big Mac" a lot, but I don't like his (or his team's) choice of opponent.
I know this is off topic, but I had to write.........

What exactly don't you like?

boxing_rocks wrote: ↑21 Oct 2019, 00:01 Just rewatched the fight. I would definitely blame Atlas for picking a wrong game plan. Gvozdyk was putting too much power into his punches in the first half of the fight which tired him and made him an easy target after round 8. I think his only chance was to run and touch keeping enough gas for 12 rounds. Of course Beterbiev's body work was a factor, but even that work wouldn't be as successful if Gvozdyk was concentrating on defense.

Maybe that Sam Peter is a shot slob and not a good opponent?

I thought Gvozdyk was the more accomplished all around boxer of the two, But Beterbiev's relentlessness, will to win and power took him over the top.
It was quite a brutal fight and I found myself thinking it should have been halted a round or two before the stoppage.
Good performances by both of them and obviously Beterbiev comes out of it looking better, but Gvozdyk has nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever,he gave it everything.
Fantastic fight.

Maybe
Gvozdyk was well prepared in terms of his skills, he wasn't a one trick pony.
He landed flush shots, had a chin and was athletic enough to hold his own from the outside when he needed to, he was a live opponent.
Game plan for Gvozdyk wasn't out of the ordinary so it's a stretch to put it on Atlas, just got beat by the better guy

Beterbiev didn't respect Gvozdyk power even early on. He would have walked over him even faster if Gvozdyk would have tried to jab and dance.

Fantastic fight.

I disagree that Gvo looked the slicker boxer, Beterbiev floated around the ring like Federer on a tennis court. It's rare to see someone look so light on their fight but so heavy in the hands. Brilliant fighter.
