With the impressive win, Beterbiev’s stock has risen, and it brings the potential prospects of a bout between him and former amateur foe Sergey Kovalev one step closer to possibly becoming a reality in the distant, but not too distant future.
As a professional, Beterbiev’s record now stands at a perfect 8-0, with all 8 rounds coming by way of knockout. He has a solid amateur background, is quickly developing as a pro, and has never needed to go past the fourth round in any of his fights to date.
This edition of Rummy’s Corner recaps Beterbiev’s impressive performance, and provides an early preliminary evaluation on how a bout between Beterbiev and Kovalev – two massively powerful punchers – might unfold should the fight come to fruition. A fight between these two would surely provide fireworks and would undoubtedly be a crowd pleaser, for both casual fans and die hards alike.
Will this dream fight some day become a reality? Is Kovalev too seasoned and disciplined for Beterbiev? Or will Beterbiev’s power be what it takes for someone to finally provide a true challenge for the unified light heavyweight champion? Only time will tell, but there is reason to be hopeful that this fight could be in play for a future clash.
Watch and enjoy!
