Beterbievs power is to ********** much for Canelo

[Severen]

hahaha love how Canelo fans trying to build up Beterbiev as some amazing killer. How many times has he been dropped by bums? That first knock down he was seriously hurt and wobbly getting back up.

 

[MC Paul Barman]

Are you saying he wasn’t rocked here?;



Or here;

If I were an opponent of Canelo and someone showed me these clips…. They wouldn’t aid in increasing my confidence.

I agree with you that look's like Canelo's managers are aiming this fight when biev will be close to his 40s.
But even if they fought when Biev was 34, Canelo would've bet him, the Russian is way too slow, and would get hit way more often than Kovalev did, a more technical fighter in my opinion.
Beterbiev wouldn't find Canelo's head, and it would be interesting to see how many body counterpunches he could take.

on the top of that Beterbiev's chin is doubtful:

at 0:30 of the video, a left hook knocks him down and he gets up wobbling,


and at 5:50 of that video

First video he gets knocked down vs a big Callum Johnson but he looks fine getting up. I remember people trying to make a big deal about it at the time but he looks fine and gets up and starts landing again right away and KO's him 2 rounds later.

Second one if you watch the second angle of the replay he literally gets a forearm shoved into his neck and pushed over. The punch after doesn't even do anything.

I'm not saying Canelo can't hurt him but people try to pretend Beterbiev is super fragile or something. Gvozdyk was good at stopping people and couldn't really faze him.

huh? You didn't see him fall into the ropes after he got up?

There's probably not going to a lot of defensive and evasive moments going to be utilized by both fighters if this fight ever happens (like evading, darting in and out, etc). This fight could very well end up being a contest of punching power and physical power.

If it ever comes to that point? This might be very similar to the Golovkin fight except that Beterbiev is physical stronger.

Canelo is ridiculously durable as a boxer though, almost shockingly so, especially since he could eat Golovkin punches straight up and proceed like nothing had ever happened to him.

It all comes down to Canelo's conditioning and agility compared to his performances at MW or at SMW because 175lbs is a lot to carry for someone who is only 5'7 (real height) inches tall. Hell, he's not even that much wider than Mayweather in terms of frame size, and even the same height too!

Beterbiev probably wastes him if Canelo thinks he can shrug off hits just like he did w/Golovkin but I'd imagine that Canelo would be a bit more cautious approaching this fight.

Good thing for Canelo here being that he's not facing Bivol, that's for sure.

 

[borntoloseNOT]

What is the weight they are talking these fights with Bivol and Beter going down? Is it true Canelo dragging them down to 168? Because if so they are sealing their fates. They should call him up to every ounce of the 175lb limit and utilize the natural size advantage to fullest.

Obviously the A side decides it all, but I think Canelo has a great shot of unseating both at LHW tbh, and even though I like Beterbiev better, he gets boxed to pieces I think, but Bivol might stand a chance. Or maybe I got that backwards...

it should also be noted that in both of the clips that you posted, he was up pretty much without a count and went on to finish both guys.

people say beterbiev has a suspect chin, but he took shots from gvozdyk without really being bothered. i think he was stunned once or twice, but never hurt... and gvozdyk is a big fucking puncher, not to mention a superb boxer in his own right.

canelo is the far better boxer, but beterbiev is a brute. his career is a masterclass in breaking people down physically. he isn't a flashy KO artist, but he just chips away with thudding shots until his opponents simply crumble under the pressure. we see good fighters work the body all the time, but the general effect is that the opponent slows down a little bit and that gives them the chance to take the second half of the fight... with beterbiev, it seems like he doesn't just slow them down, he breaks them. i'd expect him to get countered a lot in the first half of the fight, but continuously work the body until the same thing happens to canelo, the accumulation just piling up too high.

all this is kind of a moot point, alvarez isn't fighting him when he's 34 coming off his career defining win over gvozdyk. he's fighting him a few years later, and he will likely be too fast with his defense and counters, just like you said. i think we're in agreement about what will happen when they fight, just not what would've happened in 2019.

 

[Hagler]

Beterbiev is able to box with patience and caution - as we saw against Gvozdyk - and he’d certainly do so against Canelo.

As his jab is educated and heavy he could get Alvarez to think. And he can work the body consistently, which could pay off (GGG did headhunt quite a lot against Ginger) even if Alvarez knows how to counter a body punch.

Beterbiev is a good matchup, no matter if the usual Canelo haters sell him short as expected. Let’s just hope he doesn’t slip too quickly as his latest showing wasn’t stellar.

 

[Misery Signals]

huh? You didn't see him fall into the ropes after he got up?

He got right up and went back to his corner. Maybe a little shaky for a couple of seconds but he goes right back to fighting and does fine. He throws a right to the body and then blocks the return punch. He also won by KO 2 rounds later.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Canelo cleans house at 175 and fights Fury in 2025....

 

[patos]

Canelo has to clean 168 first, he left what I think is his toughest fight for last, the guy everybody is sleeping on - Benavidez. I'm not sold Canelo beats him let alone as easily as everybody believes.

 

[Mickf]

The danger in beterbievs power for canelo is the power he generates in his shorter shots. He might be too slow to catch canelo with a straight right. But some of those shorter shots on the inside i don't think canelo will have felt power like that.

when he hands benavidez a 2-minute nap in the 10th round, who’s the new “real toughest matchup” for him? the amount of “no THIS is the guy who’s gonna beat him” narratives for canelo opponents is staggering. everyone’s always finally the guy and they get their faces caved in every time.

Benevidez is on the same level as the guys he’s already beaten easily in the division

Muthaf***n but he still messed up with the *too...

Maybe that fight happens at 175?

Let's see him beat Usyk. I'm sure Usyk would come down in weight, back to Cruiser just to squash Canelo.

Beterbiev would put your boy Benavidez in a coma

agreed. and that’s a high level, don’t get me wrong, canelo is just an all-time great and this is how that kind of thing goes. most guys have lost the fight by overthinking it before they even get in the ring. you see how cautious guys are when they get in there with canelo, he takes everyone out of their comfort zone.
