Two of the four light heavyweight titles are put to be unified at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on October 18. Undefeated Oleksandr”The Nail” Gvozdyk is producing his second WBC and lineal light heavyweight titles defense, while also-undefeated Artur Beterbiev defends his IBF light heavyweight strap for the next time. Even the Ukraine native, Gvozdyk, is a favored with the Russian, Beterbiev.
This is actually the third time in??Gvozdyk’s past four fights that he has been favored by less than -250. The two previous bouts were contrary to Isaac Chilemba and Adonis Stevenson and both ended by knockout. This is the very first time Beterbiev was an underdog, as his chances were -500 if he fought with Radivoje Klajdzic in May.
Gvozdyk, Even the 2012 Olympic bronze medalist, is caught out of position, moving across the ring searching for angles to allow his thick hands go. When the Ukraine native finds his opportunities to land he does with 14 of the 17 professional wins ending by knockout. His devastating knockout may have come last December if he won both the WBC and lineal light heavyweight belts in the round against Adonis Stevenson. That struggle would be the last for Stevenson because he had been placed into a medically induced??coma on the next Monday and has been in that condition for many weeks.
Fitting Gvozdyk in punching power is Beterbiev. It has been made by one of his 14 battles past the seventh round and all have ended by knockout. When he decides to attack, the Russia native is competitive. Rarely does he throw one punch at one time he his foe with a flurry of punches looking to place him off and sets his chance.
Both guys have conditioning but go about their fights in radically different ways. Beterbiev is like a pitbull, while looking to get into a telephone booth and exchange hands, marching down his opponents. He’s prepared to eat a couple of shots when it means that he can land also.
Conversely, Gvozdyk is a tech, moving like a cat swiftly from risk, while keeping range together with his lengthy jabs and straights. When he smells blood in the water, that being said, he even also moves on a attack. The big question for this battle is will Beterbiev be able to corner Gvozdyk, or would be that the Ukrainian footwork going to keep him safe?
