Thread: The new Kovalev? Artur Bererbiev 5-0, faces Tavoris Cloud on Saturday

The guy can really punch them hooks were traveling no more than a foot, my word this Bereibiev
is something else, Cloud is no bum the way he took him apart was impressive.

B hop would show him his ABC's though

Yeah these guys are tailor-made for Bhop.

Kovalev-Beterbiev would be a WAR.

He also has amateur wins over:

Egor Mekhontsev - 2012 Gold medalist, currently 5-0 with 5 knockouts as a pro.
Ismayl Sillakh - IIRC Artur won 2 out of 3 against him. One of which was a devastating knockout.
Igor Mikhalkin - Artur beat him on points. Currently the EBU light heavyweight champ.
Oleksandr Gvozdyk - 2012 Olympic Bronze medalist. Currently 3-0 with 2 knockouts as a pro.
Yunier Dorticos - Artur stopped him in 1. Cuban cruiserweight. Currently 18-0 with 17 knockouts as a pro.
Thabiso Mchunu - Artur stopped him in 3. Top rated Cruiserweight. NABF beltholder.
Oleksandr Usyk - 2012 Gold Medalist. 4-0 with 4 kayos as a pro.
Sergey Kovalev - As you mentioned.

If he fights like this, nobody will fight him, too risky

I read somewhere on facebook that Cloud broke his jaw as well.

Off topic, but I still think Kovalev KOs Stevenson. The Fonfara fight only strengthened my opinion.

Beterbiev is the only guy calling out Ward aswel

I was genuinely impressed. Wasn't expecting much from Cloud after his recent losses but as Steve a Bunce said if any other fighter did that to cloud I'd would be a big statement let alone a 5 fight novice. The number 1 and 2 in the division Hopkins and Stevenson couldn't do that to him.

Good variety when he let his shots go, combinations were controlled and looks massive for 175. If fonfara is next expect another quick win

Fantastic prospect. Five fights and his promoters have the confidence to put him in with Cloud. Impressive.

I want to see him fight Kovalev, Hopkins or Ward. Hopefully the promoters don't go backwards with him.

Fonfara is his next fight? That's a good one. I imagine Haymon will steer Fonfara clear of him.

haymon wıll put the horse blınders on FF

Seen the fight today, he is very special. Hopkins should retire soon rather than fight these beasts.
