Artur Beterbiev vs. Oleksandr Gvozdyk - 10/18/2019

If there is any fight to tune into this week, this is the one. The undisputed light heavyweight title is going to be on the line.

In one corner, we have Artur Beterbiev (20-0). Beterbiev is one of the scariest fighters in the sport. 20 wins and 20 knockouts. All against some of the best boxers the division has had to offer in recent years. Just a scary man to have to face off with. And all that success has brought him 3 titles at 175lbs - IBF, WBO, and WBC.

Beterbiev will face off with fellow LHW champion Dmitry Bivol (23-0) this Saturday (Oct. 12). Best fight in boxing!

Beterbiev Triumphs in Epic Clash: Undisputed Light Heavyweight Crown Secured

Artur Beterbiev- When Undisputed is Still Disputed

By: Addison Keeley

This past Saturday exhibited one of boxing's most sought-after bouts in recent memory, as unified champion Artur Beterbiev met fellow champion Dmitry Bivol for undisputed light heavyweight supremacy. Both Beterbiev and Bivol have been champions since 2017. They had possession of the four belts for five years when Beterbiev stopped then-undefeated and unified champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk. The fight had plenty of time to marinate, especially when politics that have nothing to do with boxing caused the fight to be denied last year. Another unfortunate delay occurred when the injury-prone Beterbiev suffered a torn right meniscus early this year when the fight was finally agreed to. 

With all the setbacks out of the way, the two light heavyweight kings met and established a quick, complicated pace from the start. Many people felt that Bivol could snag the first three rounds with his superior hand speed, in-and-out skills, and occasional flurries. Yet, Beterbiev implemented himself in spurts throughout those rounds, most notably in a flashy exchange concluding round three. Following the next three rounds, Beterbiev could maintain and build upon that momentum he found at the end of round three, as he started to walk Bivol back and land with his straight and looping shots. 

With the fight even in the eyes of many at this point, round seven was an interesting one and perhaps the most competitive overall in this closely contested bout. Towards the end of it, Bivol was able to hurt Beterbiev with a right hand, just to get hurt by a counter left hook when trying to capitalize, which prompted Beterbiev to tee off until the bell sounded. 

Bivol seemed to gain a second wind in the eighth and ninth rounds as he stepped on the gas and put some eye-catching combinations together. However, the pace throughout the fight seemed to have more of an effect on Bivol than on the other way around, as Beterbiev was able to pick up the pressure, making Bivol uncomfortable with his aggression and shot selection. In fact, Beterbiev sweeping these three rounds on all three of the judge's scorecards is what earned him this monumental win.

Throughout the fight, both participants showed class and IQ in a thrilling clash that showed exactly why they had been on top for so long. Boxing does not often provide the fans a super fight that manages to get the reception this one did, especially considering how expectations can be easily missed. 

Regardless of the praise the fight earned by many for its display of pedigree, drama, and ebbs and flows, controversy has managed to overshadow or completely negate it in the eyes of many. After coming up short in a majority decision loss, many fans and pundits feel that Dmitry Bivol should have been crowned the undisputed champion. 

Notably, many fans cited all the missing things that Beterbiev had done, yet seemingly refused to acknowledge all the times that Bivol had connected on Beterbiev's gloves and arms when letting go of his flurries. The same fans also acknowledge the flashy shots that Bivol connected with but do not seem to acknowledge Beterbiev's, despite them being the more damaging of the two. On top of this, the pace of the fight seemed to have more of an effect on Bivol than Beterbiev. 

For as many fans dissatisfied with the result, there are just as many, if not more, that can see a case for victory being made for either guy or a draw. That being said, the most fortunate part about the competitiveness and the result alike is there is a solid chance that we fans will be treated to a rematch between Beterbiev and Bivol.

Countdown to Clash: David Benavidez vs Oleksandr Gvozdyk #Fightnight

[diarioelpepazo]

"Si pierdo donaré mis ganancias". El 'Monstruo Mexicano' sólo tiene en el radar al campeón indiscutido del supermedio ENRIQUE MELLADO David Benavídez se enfrentará en su próximo compromiso a Oleksandr Gvozdyk el próximo 15 de junio en la misma cartelera que Gervonta Davis lo hará contra Frank Martin, según reveló el padre del 'Monstruo Mexicano'. La asociación entre Prime Vídeo y Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) ha comenzado con fuerza y sin duda reunir a 'Tank' y a Benavídez puede generar un gran día de PPV. Sin ir más lejos, hoy tenemos en la misma velada el Tszyu-Fundora y el Romero-Ortiz, dos muy buenas peleas, y el 4 de mayo será el turno de Canelo contra Munguía. Sin embargo, la pelea que el gran público solicita es la que enfrentaría a Canelo Álvarez y a David Benavídez. Este último, de momento, sube al semipesado para vérselas con el púgil que tuvo la mala fortuna de causar daños cerebrales muy graves a Adonis Stevenson en 2018. Pero al 'Bandera Roja' ya no hay quien lo pare y quiere a Canelo sí o sí, hasta el punto de dirigirse al hombre que está revolucionando el boxeo desde Arabia Saudí. David Benavidez vs. Demetrius Andrade, los mejores momentos En concreto, el 'Monstruo Mexicano' se dirige en un mensaje de Instagram a Turki Alalshikh, presidente de la Autoridad General de Entretenimiento de Arabia Saudí y dueño del equipo de fútbol U.D. Almería. Benavídez entiende que sólo allí serían capaces de hacer frente a la descomunal bolsa que solicita el campeón indiscutido del supermedio -"150 o 200 millones de dólares", decía Canelo- y por esto apela a Su Excelencia. Mensaje de David Benavídez En su mensaje, Benavídez escribe: "Turki Alalshik: traigamos la pelea más grande y emocionante a Arabia Saudí. Esta será la pelea más grande entre mexicanos y mexicano-estadounidenses de la historia del boxeo y qué mejor lugar para hacerlo que el Reino, para que todo el mundo pueda verlo. Se trata de una pelea por el orgullo y la gloria. Peleo por la grandeza, no por el dinero" apunta el púgil de 27 años nacido en Phoenix. Su Excelencia, si no le gano a Canelo, donaré todo mi bolsa a cualquier organización benéfica infantil de su agrado David Benavídez (boxeador) Para finalizar, Benavídez se muestra tan seguro de su victoria que se reta a sí mismo: "Su Excelencia, si no le gano a Canelo, donaré todo mi bolsa a cualquier organización benéfica infantil de su agrado. Cuando venza a Canelo, donaré una gran cantidad de esa bolsa para beneficiar a los niños que pasan hambre en todo el mundo. ¡Soy un campeón del pueblo y continuaré luchando contra los mejores! ¡Mantengo mi palabra!" Evidentemente, el momento en el que Canelo hizo su petición de '150 o 200', ya sabía hacia dónde apuntaba y, por supuesto, Benavídez se erige en portavoz, pues al menos de momento le corresponde el papel de secundario.

David Benavidez having no problems with the size of Oleksandr Gvozdyk thus far. Applying pressure and punishing Gyozdyk along the ropes. Gyozdyk was moving more early on but his legs don’t really look super strong to be honest. Not sure if it was Benavidez’s pressure or his old age, but he stopped moving for a bit. Was trying to literally shove Benavidez off him but it wasn’t working.

Beterbiev-Bivol will be a special one-fight broadcast from Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, LIVE on ESPN+

LONDON — WBO/WBC/IBF unified champion Artur Beterbiev and WBA ruler Dmitry Bivol met face-to-face at today's kickoff presser in London ahead of their undisputed light heavyweight showdown on Saturday, June 1, at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This battle of 175-pound Titans will stream live and exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S. as a special one-fight broadcast. Beterbiev-Bivol will be promoted by Top Rank, Queensberry Promotions, Matchroom Boxing, World of Boxing Promotions, and Sela. Beterbiev (20-0, 20 KOs), boxing's only current world champion with a 100 percent knockout ratio, stopped Enrico Koelling in his 12th pro fight to win the IBF world title. He added the WBC championship to his collection in 2019 with a 10th-round TKO over Oleksandr Gvozdyk and captured the WBO strap in 2022 by stopping Joe Smith Jr. in two rounds. He returns after vanquishing former world champion Callum Smith in seven rounds in January. Bivol (22-0, 11 KOs) is a 10-year pro who captured the WBA interim title with a decision victory over Felix Valera in 2016. The following year, he was elevated to full champion and has since made 11 defenses with victories over the likes of Jean Pascal, Smith Jr., Sullivan Barrera, and Canelo Alvarez. Last December, Bivol fought on the historic “Day of Reckoning” card in Riyadh, shutting out British challenger Lyndon Arthur. At Monday's press conference, this is what the fighters had to say. Artur Beterbiev “I just see another belt. I’m collecting belts, and I need one more.” “I don’t know why {it’s taken so long to make this fight}. He knows better. Ask him." “We’ll see {if this is the biggest challenge}. I’m not thinking about it. I’m preparing for it. I will prepare and try to be at 100 percent.” Dmitry Bivol “When I signed a contract to be a pro boxer, I had a goal to become undisputed. Everything that I have gone through has been for that. I did it to achieve my goal. Even the fight against Canelo. It was my ticket for big fights. And now I’m happy that I will have this fight on June 1 for all the belts." “For every training camp, I think my opponent is the most dangerous opponent in the world. This helps me to be focused and serious in my training. Of course, he’s one of my most dangerous opponents. You see his record and his fights. He is powerful. It makes me more excited to fight against him because I love challenges. I love to be tested. This fight is a huge test for me." “Every person is different. Not only me. I have good skills. I just believe in my skills. I have been in boxing for 28 years. I’ve been in boxing ever since I can remember. I love this sport, and I think my experience will help me. And my mentality, skills, and camp. I believe I can be undisputed.” Todd duBoef (Top Rank President)

"I’ve always been a fan of destruction. And this guy is destruction. Every time you turn on the television, my phone would ring and friends from all over the world would call me and say, ‘Who is this monster?’ And, I think he gets better with each fight."
